BOSTON UNCOMMON

As previously mentioned on this blog, B & L are all about proper outfit coordination, but completely matching your boy/girlfriend for a date (to the movies no less!) it is going a bit overboard.

Take note:


The girl wore all green: dress, flats, and earrings, while the boy wore a matching green polo.

We suppose if they were going to a Celtic's game or another sporting event (IF one of the colors is green) or if it were St. Patrick's Day we would let it slide, but, as previously mentioned this was at the movies and it is June (Read: No chance for St. Patty's celebrations, college events, and basketball season is over!).

Granted, there are times were coordinating an outfit is acceptable: themed parties1; weddings; proms; pinnings or other formal affairs; however, a date to the movies in B & L's book is not considered a formal affair.

Each outfit alone could have been cute. The girl she probably should have mixed and matched some colors such as changing the flats for a pair of sandals - not green - and worn different earnings; together, however, the couple provides a complete overkill of green.

B & L should also note that this does NOT mean that you should not coordinate with your guy (or girl). When out, you should look like you're together. For instance, if you are going out to a nice restaurant with your guy, you should not be dolled up and your guy in a wrinkled t-shirt, jeans, and flip flops. You should look like you go together, but not that you had the "lets wear the same thing" conversation before you left the house.





1. Oh, we miss college fraternity parties sometimes! Outside of college, we really don't see enough "Pimps and Hoes" or "Foam Parties" as we should!
