May Contain Peanuts

Ha!

Here's a question. What are your feelings on a person when you them driving or around their car and their clothes match the actual car?

The reason I bring this up is that I always feel a bit toolish when I wear a blue shirt to work. I have a blue car. My job does not require me to wear a tie, so I am usually in a button down shirt and khakis. This means that the entire upper half of my body is generally monochromatic, and somedays that means only blue. It's not that bad when it's a different shade of blue, but I have two shirts that are pretty darn close to the same color as my car. I can camoflauge myself from the waist up by walking by my ride.

I think the reason I feel odd about this color matching is that personally, I can't stand color coordinating. Don't get me wrong, I like a good suit, I like good fashion, and I don't mind if there is an obvious reason for your color choices (such as for a sports team or what have you). There is just something that bothers me about things all matching. I think it may stem from my dislike of 'trying too hard' or just the opposite, the total obliviousness. Or it could be from my unknown repressed memories of my parents dressing me in matching outfits that somehow meant bad memories; but I seriously doubt that. It could be from my finding virtue in indviduality and going against the flow that color matching seems to disagree with. I really don't know.

I wouldn't even have this problem if I had a black or silver car, that kind of matching doesn't even count. Black, white and silver are so generic that it doesn't stand out. It is only when you have a color of significant hue that it becomes an issue.

To be honest, I never really notice this about anyone else, but maybe I'm just not looking. I just feel everyone is looking at me, noticing my love for the color blue. I just want to know if this is true at all, if anyone actually does notice. Maybe I just need to get some window tint. Can they tint in blue?
