I know it's FYFF, but I'm at work and can't really do that. I did take a pic though and there's fur in it :) I saw the photo and it reminded me of a newly discovered quirk.

PurpleWhen I was in high school, I didn't have many clothes. Not a sob story here, but my family was dirt poor and we made do with what we had. A large clothing budget wasn't there. I did have this purple shirt I bought that I loved. I wore it through high school, then college, and I still have it (this isn't it). I loved how the color looked with jeans.

After growing up and getting a job, I turned into what a friend coined the other day as a clothing whore. I don't think it's necessarily true, but there could be a slight psychological issue there. What I need to do is weed out the closets more often of what I don't wear.

Last night, my buddy Tim and I went to dinner and then walked around Dillard's. I found a couple of shirts I liked and we started talking about what we wear to work. When I described how I put my work clothes out and together, usually a lighter shirt with darker pants (excluding khakis and jeans), he remarked, "You mean you dress monochomatic?"

I was about to say no, but the more I thought about it, the answer tends to be yes (at least in terms of work clothes). Shades of color are easier to throw together than complimentary colors -- light green shirt with dark green pants, light blue shirt with dark blue pants, gray shirt with black pants -- I tend to do that, though not all the time. In a morning rush, such matching is easy to do. I guess I just never gave it a great deal of consideration until it was pointed out to me.

Am I alone here, or do some of you guys do that too?
