OMG, this WORKS!

I have always envied the abiliy some people have to put colors together in a really attractive way. So I was thinking what to wear to an important meeting, and I had two items I needed to wear because they were clean! And pressed! All I lacked was-- which shell to wear with the jacket and trousers?.

So I thought, I bet if I look at my huge collection of scarves, I'll find at least one with those two colors (blue and olive) and I bet there will be a third color in it that I ALSO have, for the shell. And indeed I did-- a shade of burnt orange in the scarf is the color of one of my shells, and viola! Put them all together, and I look like I know what I am doing and THEN found the perfect scarf.... but no, it turns out-- the scarf comes first!

I learned this from looking at bird photographs. The males' coloring is counterintuitive, but works so well.
