Lately, I've recently been getting around the necessity of matching by basically only buying dresses. I like the near-instant-outfit quality of them - add shoes and a hat, and you're done!
I've also gotten into kilt skirts for winter (I must have a half dozen of them), since they all go with several different colors and are warm.
I wish I had more things to wear my vests with. And more vests for that matter. Other item my wardrobe needs more of: hats (I have less than a dozen that I wear on a regular basis, and only two nice ones for summer (though also two more that I wear just for practicality). I should get rid of the couple that I don't wear often, for that matter), gloves, stockings (bonus for silk and wool or thigh-highs), earrings, hairsticks, scarves, and garter belts (well, just one really good garter belt). Notice a trend? (Accessories, if you didn't.)
Since I've been dating tirerim, I've definitely picked up wearing more black than I used to. Also less pink, which I am quite fond of and look good in, though not very pale shades. Also picked up knowing better how things fit.
I also now avoid buying dresses or skirts I can't dance in. And I've basically grown out of my jeans phase (which lasted from late freshman to early senior year - when I was too ill to care much about my appearance), though I still wear them more often than I did in middle/high school. Though I rarely buy new pants these days in general, focusing more on dresses and skirts.
If I had to pick a set of colors for the rest of my life, it would be jewel tones (particularly purple, burgundy red, green, and brown. Teal is optional and blue I could go either way on) with black and gray.
I am very tired. Hence the babbling. We should talk, as we haven't in a while.
