matchy matchy

podcast - articles of interest - chromophobia

the whole podcast was interesting but the first bit, especially so. avery talks to a man who blind, but he dresses in color and has a person create outfits for him. it's so interesting! at first i was like, would i care enough about other people to try to match my clothes? i would like to say that i would wear things that *feel* good (corduroy, silk, velvet, etc.) regardless of anything else, but who knows? i might try to keep to a neutral or black/white/grey palette so that i don't clash too much. not that i could see it, but i guess it might bother others and i would probably care because, well, most of us just don't want to stand out too much.

j has been trying to change up his style lately. he's gotten into the look of a chore jacket and has also started wearing gold chains, and occasionally a neckerchief. he's also taken to wearing beater tanks as undershirts (mostly because t shirts have crew necks which can visually interfere with neck accessories), but in the whole time we've been together i think i've seen him in a sleeveless shirt maybe twice, lol, so it's different!

i've also been thinking about my look. mostly cause we're planning to move soon and i won't be able to bring so much clothes. also, on my trip to tennessee with the girls, i noticed so they all looked pretty good, whereas i mostly wore my schleppy travel clothes. i'm leaning towards more collared shirts. i actually really like the style of jenna lyons who was the creative director of j crew for a number of  years. i've always liked the preppy look, but in the last few years have really given into gorpcore, which i still like, but it's mostly synthetic materials which i'm trying to get away from.

anyway, back to the beginning of the post. how do you think you would dress if you were blind?
