I looked at myself earlier: Black short-sleeved top. Red knit pants. Raspberry-colored socks.
Personally I had no problem with this combo. It reminded me of a particular outfit from my childhood. It was a beautiful pink organza pinafore. I always wanted to wear it over something really red, but I had been told “pink doesn’t go with red.” I hope I wore it anyway. I wonder what it originally was designed to go with?
I almost think it came with a fine red print with white background. Would not have read as a red. You sure loved that outfit.
I knew Mom would come through. I sort of remember that the pinny had a very small checked pattern.
