The larval form of coathangers

[nineveh_uk]

Why is it that the socks that appeared black when I put them in the cupboard, got them out of the cupboard, and put them on, all done under decent lighting, nonetheless have revealed themselves as I re-tie my shoelace to be very definitely navy blue. Damn you, socks!

Unlike my children, at least you are not under threat of detention when this happens.

Wrong Coloured Socks seems to be the only thing they get the boys on. I don't know why there aren't rules on the acceptable height of quiffs and rigidity thereof in an educational context, but there aren't.

The last time I bought navy blue tights was in Year 10, which was 22 years ago. Up until five years ago, black tights were still turning out to be navy by the time I was halfway to work, and I think the only reason it's stopped happening is because I binned all my sensible tights when I gave up work, and have barely taken my jeans off since.

I suggested on Twitter once a Kickstarter for a small torch, perfectly calibrated to tell the difference between black and navy tights on dark winter mornings. Someone should definitely do this.

I gave up on my several pairs of black and navy trousers, and wrote the colour on the labels inside. It's the black and navy Crocs I still have problems with, I always have to take them into daylight.

There's a reason I buy only black socks ;)

I accidentally wore navy tights to work instead of black ones a few weeks ago. It was not a good look with the rest of the outfit.
