The weather was glorious here today. The sun was out, the ice was melting, perfectly wonderful.
So what better to do than enjoy the weather?
(before a trip to the grocery store tonight)
Me: "I'm wearing black sweats with white shoes!"
Roommate 1: "It's okay, I'm doing that too."
Me: "It looks bad."
Roommate 1: "Eh, whatever."
(pause)
Roommate 2: "Your pants have a white stripe, so it kinda matches."
Me: "Not so much."
Roommate 2: "I'm so excited to go to Germany."
Me: "Mmmhmm?"
Roommate: "I wouldn't have even known that [about wearing white shoes with the black sweats]. You can wear anything you want in Germany. They don't have fashion faux paus."
Me (trying to suppress laughter): "I see."
Disclaimer: Neither roommate speaking above was Lauren. She has a good sense of fashion.
It turned out to be a perfectly lovely day.
