black and brown

black and brown do NOT go together. this is something i feel extremely strong about.

whether it is outfits or color schemes for your house. they do not match. the reason they do not match is because they are two main colors. you need to use one as the primary color. or in other instances you dont use them at all.

this is just plain ridiculous.


i would never go out of the house in this outfit. and this is a picture from a company trying to sell you this look! black skirt and brown bag [ugh its even an ugly bag] with tan shoes?! i feel it necessary to write these people a letter. and not a mean one because it seems that people who are not very smart would not understand a mean letter and all of its sarcasm.

there are brown schemes and there are black schemes. if brown is your color of choice [which it is not mine, doesnt really go with my palette], then i would choose a cream colored accent. white is the accent to go with black. cream colored shirt with brown pants are okay. if you go too crazy with it though, i think someone might mistake you for a person in the outback or on a safari. also, do not mix and match accessories! take the time to change your purse or buy some black shoes so people dont talk about your lack of fashion behind your back!

lets take a glimpse into an outfit that is a great example.

beautiful! and no one is talking crap about kate moss wearing this outfit [they might about other things, but certainly not this!]

tan is another thing all together. tan can be paired with black and it can look great! my favorite outfit for a guy would be tan/khaki pants with a black shirt. just make sure your guy is wearing black accessories to go with! because one of my favorite pastimes is people watching and i have no problems laughing at people wearing ridiculous outfits.

there is one time that black and brown together are appropriate! i personally dont choose this route but some might pull it together nicely. and that is when one of your main pieces of clothing already has both colors in them. like a shirt that has a black background with brown flowers on it or something. like i said! i would never want to buy that but some people may. just be sure to stick with one color scheme when accessorizing. i dont want to see that flower shirt with black pants and brown shoes and brown bag and then a black necklace. that is just abserd. perhaps that black and brown shirt paired with some black pants, and even some mainly black shoes that have the same color brown on them as an accent. then make sure to have your black accessories. i still think it is ridiculous, but when i catch you walking down the street in that i will say "i hate black and brown together, but at least she paired them accordingly."
