Brown with black?

I'm typically good about NOT making the mistake of mixing these two colors, which are apparently diametrically opposite of one another.

Well, today I made the mistake.

In my defense, it wasn't intentional. I was in a hurry and in hindsight, I think I'm out of clean black socks to begin with. I grabbed the first socks that looked black. They're identical in style to my black socks and are a dark brown, so the clash isn't overwhelming.

But when someone stopped by my desk at around 1:00 this afternoon and I sat back with one leg on the other knee, I realized the horrible mistake I'd made.

Oh well. I'm over it.
