Fashion pet peeves

I'm not trendy nor particularly fashionable but I know what I like and what I don't like. Some things that I don't like continue to haunt me, even way back from high school.

Black and brown -- It may be a trend, and celebrities may be wearing it, but I still don't like it.

Navy and black -- Again, a popular thing to do, especially with black shoes and navy pants... but I just don't like it. I remember having this discussion with my dad and he asked what he should wear in place of the black shoes with his navy suit. I said brown... he just made a face. Ha! At least Liz was with me on this one.

Khaki and black -- Ask any of my friends from high school. I hated khaki and black, especially the dark khaki. I've grown to be okay with light khaki and black, but it has to be done right -- in my opinion.

White shoes and Black pants -- In high school, these shoes were really popular (totally dating myself here) and all the "popular girls" wore them with black pants. I never understood and therefore, never liked.

Black shoes and White socks -- Can you say Michael Jackson?

Brown and Gray -- this kid in high school wore a very nice gray dress pant with brown dress shoes and it just totally didn't go. They were a cool gray and the brown was really warm, kind of reddish. I didn't like it. Still don't.
