So...

Why, exactly, is wearing brown with black bad?  It seems people are split on this - I think I'm leaning towards "don't care, it can look cute" (aiee, I think I'm going to get beaten).  I've got on black pants and shoes (with the lace on the front and the cream peaking through) with a purple shirt (Laaaauren, it's the shiny one you like on me) and a brown under shirt - it peaks out since the top shirt is buttoned on one button, doesn't show a lot and I think it looks cute.

Would this get me the frowny face from the Laurens? :D

It just clashes, honey. You can get away with it, but it will always clash. It's like black and that dark navy blue, or matching green pants with a slightly-different-shade-of green shirt. You won't get funny looks, but it disrupts the colours.

And your outfit sounds fine anyway - I really think blocks of colour matter more than the camisole you're wearing underneath everything.

Sweet, that's what I was thinking. Like, I can see why a solid brown shirt and solid black pants/shoes would be bad, but the peek a boo stuff is easier to get away with. :D
