Purple and Green Fashion…Who ‘dat?

There are lots of reasons to wear purple or green, but not generally together. For whatever reason, the spirit moved me to embrace the combo and shake out my closet. I came face-to-face with some strange fashion decisions that will just have to haunt my closet a little longer-at least until I get my Spring Clean on.
The first purple piece I laid my hands on was tragically marred by what seems to be bleach. Undaunted, I stuck my head further into the closet and with a flashlight beam, located a second purple shirt. Wrinkled, but otherwise unscathed. Now that I had purple in hand, it was time to find green. I vaguely remembered a cardigan in some shade of green that had passed between my mother and me until finally landing permanently on my hangers. It did exist and was shoved into near oblivion behind a giant fleece “Let It Snow” sweatshirt. The sweatshirt must have been on clearance at some point during colder weather because this has not been the year for it so far…
Armed with my purple shirt and green cardigan, I rooted through my costume jewelry drawer and produced a purple-swirly kind of pendant that hit me as a suitable substitute for the beads I know I have, but cannot locate. (Note to self: buy beads on Ash Wednesday, put in safe spot to forget about next Fat Tuesday…)
The combo felt ridiculous, but drew at least two compliments (I love cats, you can make stuff up that you are sure they would say if they could only speak English…).
Finally, I paired it up with some green-dangling earrings and went out to see if anyone else had made the effort to purge their closet before heading out. While it wasn’t the sexiest outfit ever, I did feel festive and am now in the mood to begin considering the Lenten Season, but first, I think I will go see if anyone has marked down their King Cakes yet…I’m dressed for it!
