I always find it interesting/amusing how older women are so in to colors and matching. Don’t ask me to define “older”…the color obsession is definitely a generational thing, and I’m not sure what the cutoff is, I’m just sure that it’s at least 10 years older than I am. So I’m going to stick with “older” but just know that I’m saying it in an entirely non-judgey way, k?

Based entirely on my own anecdotal evidence, I’ve gathered that older generations were taught that the way to look nice and put together was to match and to wear colors that complemented your skin/hair/eyes. And you know what – if matching makes you feel like a million coordinated bucks, do not stop on my account. But please don’t be offended if I continue to preach the gospel of breaking rules and mixing it up in the name of finding a more unique and modern personal style.

So now the question is: How many more years before matching is back in style and I’m the weird older woman wearing black and brown together?
