- I've always been fascinated by the colors thing. I happen to look
- great in "mustard, eggplant, and olive," but horrible in "jewel tones."
- You may as well forget about pastels, too, where I'm concerned.
- Frankly, I'd rather we were still back in the "safari look" of some
- years ago. 1986-1987 was the only time of my life to date in which I
- was able to buy clothes I loved and have it be fashionable. (Heck,
- in 1987 even my *hair* was fashionable.)
- This is not to say that I'd rather it were still 1987, of course.
- 1987 may have been a fashion coup, but there were lots of other things
- wrong with that year. :-)
-
- There is a store at the mall I go to, "Brooks," which has *never*
- looked appealing to me, despite the fact that many of my friends
- shop there. (Or at least, they used to shop there when one of them
- worked there so we all got advance notice of sales and other perks.)
- Occasionally, they even come out of that store with something I
- like and look good in. The colors in the window are such an amazing
- turn-off that I just *look* at the store and "know" there's nothing
- for me in it.
