Not only &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;your&lt;/span&gt; personal best; but what those around you perceive to be the best &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;for you&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a mad world, but here we all are living in it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I offer you my current fashion-solution.  I've always been a when-in-doubt-wear-all-black kind of girl.  Which has ultimately resulted in me dressing as though I am always in doubt.  After staring at some navy slip dress on an arbitrary trendy online shopping site, I began to think.  It's not the black that's the solution...it's the simple monochromatic palette.  So why not apply that rule to any (and possibly, every) color?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/4162/picture1sep.png" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/8173/picture2se.png" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I threw a few ideas together on &lt;a href="http://blumoon1.polyvore.com/"&gt;Polyvore&lt;/a&gt;.  Whether or not I'm brave enough to ditch the all-black comfort blanket remains to be seen.  I'm sure if my survival depended on it, I could easily find a bit of colorful motivation.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7947013153867207144-3332203941074558478?l=drrtylaundry.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drrtylaundry.blogspot.com/feeds/3332203941074558478/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7947013153867207144&amp;postID=3332203941074558478&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7947013153867207144/posts/default/3332203941074558478'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7947013153867207144/posts/default/3332203941074558478'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drrtylaundry.blogspot.com/2012/01/monochro-magnon.html' title='Monochro-magnon'/><author><name>kaitlyn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10370727393813184464</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MWOPDcnrZ_0/TqWS-raRMFI/AAAAAAAACPY/8y_9mMjtD_A/s220/photo.jpeg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7947013153867207144.post-3775474951969917750</id><published>2012-01-05T20:10:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-11T11:41:58.016-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Hindsight... it's 20/20</title><content type='html'>So...
