Purple is a tricky color, for some.



Today's shirt, by itself, is awesome. Good cut, pretty color, and very well pressed. Unfortunately, it is EXACTLY the wrong shade for Charlie. My lame phone + office lighting makes it impossible to capture the color accurately, so Pantone chips are included to illustrate the absolute wrongness of that color for C's complexion. The shirt is paired with medium blue stonewashed jeans. Look at those swatches. They make me sad.

Just by coincidence, Syd is wearing purple today as well and of course she is doing it All Right. Now that's a nice palette.

I've developed a Compost Theory regarding Charlie's laundry. When creating compost you add the yard waste to the top of the bin, the magic happens in the middle, and you draw the "ripe" compost from the bottom. In the world of C's laundry I imagine a pile of clothing--clean clothes are added to the top and left to marinate, the magic happens in the middle, and bonus-wrinkle clothing is pulled out from the bottom. Voila!
