or some variation thereof

I’m in a serious rut.

There are two worlds in my wardrobe – black and brown. Colors are usually accents and in my mind, there are some strict rules as to what I think should be paired with what. It’s a really bad obsession but I think a girl named Elizabeth in 4th grade completely traumatized me when she criticized my black shoes/brown belt faux pas. I was forever changed. Things have to look put together even if I’m just running out for groceries in jeans and t-shirt. I’ve been focused on black for quite some time now and something’s got to give.

This is an example of my day to day black uniform. There may be a hoodie and a random t-shirt mixed in, dark rinse or grey jeans, my Vans, or a grey peacoat, but all-in-all, this is what I wear daily. I do not run errands in heels.

I just got the striped BCBG sweater (on serious sale) for x-mas but I have been wearing some form of grey stripes for months now and have been heavily restrained by black and grey skinny jeans lately. All this darkness is wearing me out. I love my trusty old studded black bag that just won’t die (the bag shown is just the basic shape) but I think I need to add some other colorful friends into the rotation. I still don’t have a brown bag that is totally satisfying. I bought a bronze bag with gold studs at NEED (much like Urban Outfitters here in Richmond) a while ago but it’s a bit much sometimes. Maybe a new brown themed bag will be the next shopping project because seriously, I have to coordinate.

The Nixon watch is new and won’t be taking a break from the wardrobe unless totally necessary. Neither will the big silver hoops or wide hammered band. (I will manage to squeeze some gold and wood jewelry in on occasion.) I may need to bring out the brown Chucks/Sauconys when I’m in a sneaker mood. I have plenty of coordinating heels and boots. Oh dear… time to start digging into the depths of my closet again… or should I wear more skirts and dresses? I really cannot wait for warm weather!!!!!!!!!
