Mismatch Day

We were having a very quiet Friday and had no plans to go out so I declared Friday mismatch day.  My kids got to pick out whatever they wanted to wear and I told them to purposely not match.  That is harder said than done with Noah.  He has no crazy pants like Natalie.  We finally ended up with olive green pants and a bright green sweatshirt (it didn't look good together but the picture didn't show that).  I wore plaid flannel pants and a damask pattern shirt.  It was pretty hideous!  When Brian came home from work, they immediately told him that he had to change into mismatched clothes.

They wanted a mismatch lunch and I didn't really know how to mismatch their food but they were OK because their food weren't the same colors (although Noah had a white banana and white string cheese and he did not like that because they were both white).  They also wore mismatch PJs and they were so excited about it but I forgot to take a picture.

  2. You should have gone with a red and orange combo for Noah so that he could be like his uncle.

    1. Alas, he does not own red nor orange pants. Maybe in the summer I can get a better mismatched outfit!

  3. Cute idea! We'll have to try crazy mismatch day at our house sometime (although we have crazy mismatch clothes day at least twice a week anyway). I think we could have mismatched lunch by serving things that don't normally get eaten together, like instead of salami, crackers and cheese, we could have salami, yogurt, and cereal. Mom says I would have to wear crazy mismatched clothes, but I'm pretty sure all my pants are plain and neutral, so that would be kind of hard. I love that you used the word "damask".

    1. I actually use damask all the time since it's a pattern I use regularly in scrapbooking. I did think about putting foods together that don't normally go but I think they wanted foods that weren't the same color.
