Color situations

It seems that in fashion color is a big ordeal. You can't wear white after labor day, or you can't wear black and brown together.Some people break these intentionally. Others have no idea they even exist. To some these are huge taboos. So what's the big deal? Well if you are a high fashionista you would never commit these crimes. If you consider yourself low on the fashion totem pole you might break them and not think twice about it. Perhaps you're breaking them to make a new fashion statement. Who knows? In 2014 black socks with brown shoes could be in. Mixing patterns is big in 2012. Just last year most people would never mix patterns.
