No one has noticed my fashion faux pas of black trousers with a blue shirt. Do I keep working here because I can get away with such crimes, or do I move on because I can't possibly work with animals such as these?

Keep working there because they noticed, but they're polite πŸ˜‰

They're talking behind your back.

I knew they were talking behind my back, just like I know everyone's saying I'm paranoid

Don't forget that as soon as you look away from someone, they're staring at you and picking out the flaws.

Such is.

Hardly a crime at all compared to pink shirts

[–] tombruzzo@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe a pink shirt on its own but dark blue jacket with pink shirt underneath is peak male look. I have a Suit Guy in Fairfield that advised me as such

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Noooooo! They just look like you don't know how to laundry. My petty Hill.

Damn that red t-shirt.

I have no idea what’s wrong with this combination. Looks good to me.

Once you have a suit guy educate you on good drip it's hard to unsee

Hey depending on the shade of blue and the intensity of the black, it can look ok. You probably look alright!

They're slightly faded black trousers so it almost looks like a dark navy. Not as bad as black leather boots with jeans instead of brown boots
