I just, literally just went into another teacher's classroom (at his request), so he could show me how to set something up for his sub tomorrow.
While in there, I hear a student say "Wow, that is so tacky. Who thinks red and purple match?"
I think it matches, and it's more of a burgundy/maroon for the record, so you tell me what you think. Do I match? If I don't, should I care ?
Yes, I took it with my camera phone, I need to know, people. Like right now!!!
Emily, don't hate me if I don't match. I really like the sweater and I think it looks great...I just needed a little more length in the torso...well, you know, because of the nursing and all! And, sadly, I don't have a crew neck shirt in black or white...sue me!

I think it looks good…and even adding a necklace in those colors would add some more pizzazz…dont worry what they think!
You crack me up. Purple is a totally “in” color right now and you’re rockin’ it. Definitely don’t consider opinions of high schoolers…I mean, do you look back on your high school years and think you were a stellar dresser? =) I usually end up thinking “what was I thinking?!?” btw, the sweater looks much better on you than on me…from what I could tell from your bustline at least! lol
It so matches. You look great.
That kid should be smacked.
You look great!
I would say something ugly about that stupid high school kid but I will choose to keep my mouth shut.
I think it looks fine! How old are the kids?

I think it’s fine. Nothing worth being crabby over, especially.
{Most} High school kids don’t even know what the word respect means, let alone that an adult deserves it.
It’s sad!
i think you look perfectly lovely friend – seriously high schoolers…who needs em!!
These kids need a seriously reality check!! I can’t believe how rude they are!!
You match fine!
No stress!
Matches! I would have worn it too. It is better than all black and dreary especially at school when you need to ‘feel’ cheery. Keep smiling.
You totally match! I wear read and purple together all the time!
I think you match. Who cares what that kid thinks!? Obviously his parents didn’t teach him manners or how to put a filter between his brain and his mouth! So sad! We should pity him!!
Love, Mere
It looks fine!
Teenagers are always trying to feel ‘better’ than thier teachers and those over them.
Its just a lack of respect… don’t let it bother you that they woudln’t wear it. The lack of respect bothers me.
I’ve been a youth leader for 5.5 years and I’ve heard them tear people apart – including each other!
They obviously didn’t see the runways this season. Red and purple are all over the damn place. I am guessing they think black and brown are taboo as well? And no white after Labor day? Wake up and smell the Starbucks, Kids! It’s not 1988. Jeezzz…..
Those colors actually look really good together! You do need a necklace though to really make the outfit. Don’t let the stupid teenager get you down!!
High schoolers are ridiculous, and definitely don’t know respect. The things I used to hear when I subbed…. were unbelievable. Don’t listen to those obnoxious kids.
I think it looks good….I wouldn’t worry about what teens are saying about your clothes because so much of what they wear looks ridiculous.
I used to hate red/purple together, but I have learned to accept it! (I blame it on a childhood outfit my mother used to put me in…eww..its makes me cringe just thinking about it! lol)
I think its looks fine though…you’re right, its more burgandy anyways! lol
Kids are so rude these days!
Girl, I’m the AUTHORITY on matching. At least IMHO.
You match.
THat’s that.
what a rude kid!! he needs a little talking to, mommy style! you look great!
God what is WRONG with kids today? (holy crap, did I just SAY that? I think I channeled my father there, LOL). Seriously though, I was told to respect adults, and I would NEVER think of making a comment like to an adult, or a teacher or ANYONE!
I think you look great and colorful and cheery! Don’t sweat it!
