Being matchy-matchy

[learieonthewildmoor]

I am terrible for needing to be matching in the colours I wear. I will match my eyeshadow and lipstick to a colour I’m wearing.
My friend’s daughter was 12 when she said “My teacher is like learie, her tops and shoes are always the same colour”.
I actually feel uncomfortable and not right if I’m not matching. I can never wear two patterned items.
In an effort to be less rigid, I can now wear a neutral eyeshadow and lipstick that is a third colour, and I have a yellow handbag that is the only yellow thing in my wardrobe. Pushing the boundaries.
I watched a Trinny London video where the woman bought an orange jumpsuit and a red coat/cape and I loved it on her, but could never ever do it.

Are you matchy, or do you range the colour and pattern spectrum?

I don't like shoes and bag in same colour, I mean obvious ones like red shoes and bags. It doesn't apply to black though, but it's nice if they're different texture.

Very deep navy goes well with black shoes, see Princess of Wales outfit from recent events. But it needs to be good quality.

I recently started having "issues" with opaque tights, I used to love them, but now I think they spoil everything. I just don't see them with nice heels or dress. I know it's off topic, not matchy-matchy problem, but I just had to say it 😩
