This morning I left the house wearing one red sneaker and one black. This was not on purpose. As I rolled my eyes at my now-serial capacity for leaving the house in an embarrassing state, I wondered if mismatched shoes would ever become a fashion statement. We do weird things for fashion. Expensive jeans come with pre-tattered holes. Every square inch of facial real estate has been pierced or tattooed. People wear socks with sandals. In that context, wearing two different shoes seems a plausible choice. The zit cream? Not so much.
