rootofnewti like my polarfleece legwarmers. i've decided, however, that i need a brighter sweater to wear with them...
the problem? the legwarmers have bright colors, while my sweaters are all black or grey.
looking at them, i see four options: orange, red, green (bright green), blue. now... i don't wear red near my face. i'm not sure orange would be wise, either. bright green... um... i don't know if i can pull that off or not. blue, sure... i always think i can pull off bright blue, but when i put it on, it seems that i suddenly become highly visible. i don't know why that bothers me. i'm *always* highly visible in that wears-a-pointy-hat-dresses-all-in-black way. something about not wearing black or very dark blue on my torso creeps me out. i've let myself hide in it for a long time.
i really want to get a bright sweater, though. that way when i wear the outfit i'm wearing today (legwarmers, black tights, black velvet skirt), i have something that doesn't clash on top. the black sweater i have on today is much dimmer than the shiny black velvet skirt. matching blacks can be such a bitch sometimes.
i thought about wearing a lime/stripey tank under an off-the-shoulder black sweater (i'm wearing lime socks), but it appears i no longer have any off-the-shoulder black sweaters. maybe i should go raid![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

okay. i think it's time for me to go out to the grocery store. kids will be getting out of school soon and i'd rather avoid the parent-kid rush.
