Am at home this morning, waiting for the heater guy to come and fix my heater. Finally. Life being what it is, we'll probably have a heat wave the moment he leaves.

Yesterday, on [livejournal.com profile] slammerkinbabe's journal, I offered Trinny and Suzanne's advise about wearing black with color - makes the colour look tacky and the black look cheap, appearently. So naturally today I am wearing black pants with an orange sweater. It's sort of a burnt orange, not too bright. I did put a black sweater-jackety thing over it, so maybe that helps.

I really hate waiting for people. You can't get anything started because you're waiting, and you are on edge because you're waiting. Sigh.

Hopefully the next time I write I will have heat in my house. *fingers crossed*

I'm a huge fan of the U.S. What Not to Wear, butTrinny and Susannah's website was irritating. First - if you're not supposed to wear black with color, what *are* you supposed to wear black with?

Second - their "style barometer" made no sense; I always wanted an option that wasn't there.

Third - "If you're pear shaped don't wear kitten heels." Um...why?

I'll stick with Clinton and Stacy thanks!

Good luck! I hope he shows up soon; today isn't a good day to be without heat. (Sadly, Godot seems more reliable than repairpeople....)

I hope the heater guy shows up and fixes it soon!

Who are these Trinny and Suzanne people, and what the hell AM I supposed to wear black with? I wear black with color all the time - I like black pants. Black is supposed to go with everything.

*is wearing blue with black right now*

I say, wear what you like! A darker orange with black sounds perfectly fine to me.

You've got heating problems too? After speaking with the first-floor tenant of the house that I live in (I've got the top two floors; the house is broken into three apartments) I realized that the only thermostat in the entire house is in her apartment. So she controls the heat. And she's away in England until Sunday! I'm freezing!
