blue velvet

so, ok, i'm starting to give up on being able to sell or trade most of my yarn.  and i have a whole bunch of rowan big wool in the "blue velvet" colorway which makes me not want to part with it because, well...

but i pretty much only wear black.  dark blue and black don't really go together, right?  am i right on this one?  despite my generally uncanny ability to put colors together exactly the right way, and to be wearing the "next big thing" two years before it becomes the "next big thing," i still sometimes have trouble telling if things are okay to put together, or whether or not things are well...  stupid.

for example:

i think this dress is hella rad.  i mean it's a pretty classic cut and it's cute and i like how the oversized skull print makes it...  unbalanced.  and then i want to find similar fabric and make my own.  but then i have to wonder, is it stupid?  i guess it's always about how you wear it.  but some clothing items/designs are just inherently stupid-looking (in my opinion) and it would take someone who is way better at fashion than me to make it look good.  i mean, i like to be "trendy" sometimes, but i'm generally more interested in clothing my mom says "will never go out of style."  which is important, but sometimes i also want to be 22 and wear things that are maybe kind of stupid.

anyway, back to the point, i don't know, should i go ahead and make some ridiculous twinkle cardigan out of my blue velvet big wool?  could i work it into my almost entirely black wardrobe?  what do you think, dear readers?
