Me: “You know how I like to be all matchy-matchy and twee, and I’m good at it! I’ve never been into pattern-mixing.”
Fiancé, mouth full of bagel: “Mm-hmm….”
Me: “…But what do you think about this as a concept?” *holds up a red-and-white-striped cotton shirt and navy-and-white-checked linen jacket*
Fiancé: *muffled sound of distaste* “No. Absolutely not.”
Me: *whines* But Niles does it on, like, every episode of Frasier! And he’s supposed to be the arbiter of all things artful!”
Fiancé: “Those things are not supposed to go together. At all.”
Me: *stamps foot* “But the only other thing I have that goes with this and my navy skirt is a navy jacket that isn’t the same navy as the skirt! My only other option is to clash violently, with malice aforethought!”
Fiancé: “Put it back.”
Me: *whines*
Now heading to my DAR meeting only slightly less patriotically than planned.
