I got multiple complimentss on how cute and colorful I was when I wore this to the office. It’s almost as if people aren’t used to seeing bright orange and gingham blazers at a law firm (almost).

Consider this your semi-annual reminder that dressing in complimentary colors on the color wheel is a surefire way to look like an interesting, fashion-forward person. I’m sure I could find some old episodes of What Not to Wear that would prove this theory wrong, but guess what, Stacey and Clinton? Your show’s over and I’m in charge now. And I’m telling everyone to wear more colors. GO NUTS.

You know that thing where you accidentally dress like an American flag? No? Just me? Well, it happens more often than I can count. I guess now we know why there are a gazillion countries that use red, white, and blue for their flag colors. They look good together. So don’t call it patriotic (because I don’t know what is going on here these days), just call it sartorial-otic.

Never mind, I take that back.  I just tried to say “sartorial-otic” out loud and it didn’t go well. Call it whatever you like, because it’s going to keep happening.
