I went to a cook out this evening. I wore blue jeans, an old, well tailored clear red and white Anne Klein shirt, a white denim vest, and dark blue denim sneakers. I usually do wear colors associated with each holiday. For Valentines day, it is red, pink white, Memorial Day and Labor Day, Veterans Day, I wear red, white and blue, each different from today. I wear Kelly green and royal blue for St. Pats day. For Easter Sunday, I wear pastel pink, blue, white, and/or green, not all the colors all the time. You get the idea. Thanksgiving is a little more difficult, but it is usually earth tones with a good deal of cream, off white, etc. For Christmas, it is red, green, cream in different variations. Years ago I wore "ugly" sweaters before they became so ugly. Do not wear them now. Maybe a black cashmere with rhinestones which is old and I love. New Years Eve and Day are wild cards. I do very little if any shopping for these special days. I wear what I have in my closet and wear for other days as well. I mix and remix. Some of you might remember when we celebrated George Washington's birthday only, rather than Presidents Day, which includes Lincoln's birthday and others. I used to bake a cherry pie in honor of Washington's birthday, but stopped doing that since I don't think cherry pie is appropriate for all president's birthdays. Just being silly now
I have a Pittsburgh Steelers T and earrings, several University of Kentucky Wildcats college football items, and lastly, a Charlotte Panthers T, all of which I have worn quite a bit in the past. Not so much now. Most all these items were gifts. I am probably the only person who would accept, wear and enjoy such things! lol
Ok, Sal, you asked, so there it is.
