How classy is it for me to wear these pink tennis shoes with my tux?

One of my first memories of being a kid was, 'I want to have a real job when I grow up.' And to me that meant you wear a suit and a hat and carry a briefcase and go to your job.

It's tough for me to get rid of clothes. I grew up in a household with a limited budget and we really had to make our nice clothes last, and so now I'll get free pairs of shoes and this, that and the other and I'll be like, 'Oh great!'; even though it stresses me out that I don't have enough room to put them, I can't throw them away.

That's also fostered a willingness to wear pink.

It is better to wear out one's shoes than one's sheets

I'd describe my look as girly-edgy. I like black nail polish and eyeliner, but I'll wear them with pink shoes.
