Giant was playing non-stop sad music on inauguration day. Four songs in a row while I was there. I’m terribly afraid I was grinning like a loon.
But back to fashion, drab colors are easier to mix and match for an office wardrobe, saving money in a rotten economy. They aren’t as noticeable when worn twice in the same week the way a bright color would be.
I do see signs of the rotten economy everywhere. The quality of cotton sank even while we were assured that the economy recovered and everyone who wanted a job, had a job.Polyester or “modal” replaced cotton. Fabric tags moved from the color to a side seam or were printed in light ink on the fabric itself. Quality of wool and silk sank like a rock - gotta love that recovery!
