Some days I just don't know why I bother! My motto has always been if there is something wrong then you talk about...talk through it...deal with it...move on!
I swear sometimes that just doesn't/won't work! If someone asks me their opinion, I'm going to give it to them no matter what. In reality however, if you aren't open to any other opinion besides your own, there is just no point in it at all.
I take this literal, even with myself. I have a whole lot on my mind right now (see future blogs) but when I sit back and think about it...none of it alters the current things that I "can" control. It does no good for me to talk about it with others when that will not change things or make things better in my eyes. Of course, it sometimes makes me feel better for the moment but overall it doesn't change a damn thing. Then I am always left with why do I even talk about it...others have bigger issues, etc. etc.
For now, I suppose I will just sit on it and call it good.

Scarves?
Okay, so with the fall/winter season, the "scarf" trend surfaces and so do the same questions I've wondered now for several scarf seasons. I get the concept that it's an accessory much like a necklace however, when I personally accessorize an outfit I pick things that match or accentuate what I'm wearing. Of course, I also understand where some ladies throw in a bright red necklace if they're wearing all black just to break up the monotony of the outfit and bling out some color. With that in mind...do I have it all wrong?
For example, today I spent the day (and I mean six full hours) in a meeting of executives which incidentally happened to be mostly women. I noticed several women wearing the "scarf" look but what caught my eye was that in no way shape or form did they seem to match and/or accent what they were wearing! Here's two examples that I saw that really stuck out in my memory.
Outfit #1: She was wearing a black dress with teal diamond shapes tiled all over it, knee length, quarter length sleeves and a scoop neck. The scarf was mostly cream colored with squares of different designs (think patchwork quilt). The colors in the designs were a lot of powder blue and a burgundy color.
Outfit #2: She was wearing a brown dress with suttle gold flecks throughout, slightly below the knee, and just a little longer than quarter length sleeves, also a scoop neck. Her scarf was plain light grey.
Someone tell me what I'm missing here? I could not wrap my head around what concept they used when picking the outfits out? If I had been picking it out, I would have decided on maybe a silver scarf or light teal scarf for Outfit #1, and def nothing with "more" print on it! And for Outfit #2 I would have done maybe an accenting shade of brown with maybe gold tassels or a gold scarf entirely.
Either way, I don't own a scarf anyhow. I have thought about getting one but hesitate as I'm not sure I've figured out how to wear it yet? I haven't even started on how in the world you tie them? ((sigh)) We all know I'd be the one walking around looking like I was heading out bundled up for a snow storm! :)
So the jury's out...scarf, no scarf...matching, not matching...tied (but how)?
