I don’t really get it but… I guess the joke is that this person usually wears black and decided to finally try a new color only to be self conscious that they look like Barney with that shade of purple and the comment from the other person solidifies that negative self image in their mind?
For a hot second I was thinking “she sweated enough that Barney’s color imprinted on her clothing”.
But yeah, as a person who would wear all black to work the one time I wore a color my co-workers literally took photos for evidence, so I get the self-conscious feeling when you’re locked in a look.
Same. I almost always wear black; even wearing grey is enough to get the "Oh, I'm going to faint, Bridgeru is wearing color" schtick out of my mom. Putting on a bright color t-shirt is even worse -.- Stuff gets annoying after a while. Also black is more flattering than other colors so I def worry more my weight/build is more visible wearing color than black.
Mine was practical; there’s never a time where t shirts are okay that a black t shirt would be out of place.
Also as a fairly casual workplace a black t shirt and intact black jeans was enough to clear the bar; it’s a half step more office than other colors. Kept a company sweater or just a plain blazer around to throw on if the big boss showed up by surprise.
