Do you know what is my hardest challenge with shopping?  Choosing a color of an article of clothing that comes in many man colors.

Some of my problem comes from my hair.  I have a slight red tinge to my hair, which has gotten even redder this summer, making it near impossible for me to pull off pink clothing.  It has to be just the right shade of pink, which is terribly hard to find.

I used to have a very simple answer to the color question:  black!  In fact, me and my sister Maura used to only get things in black back in the day.  Then we pressured each other to branch out, sometimes to gray, but mostly to navy.  I really like navy, but then you come across the dilemma that you can’t wear navy with dark jeans because then you’re all dark.

I often regret color decisions that I make with clothes, and also spend time agonizing over which color to choose beforehand.  I tell myself to not pick the same colors all the time, and then I branch out to a different color and sometimes it was a mistake.

This problem goes hand-in-hand with my allergy to making decisions.
