Matching Purse and Shoes

A short while ago I went over to one of my favorite stores,Target, looking for a pair of winter boots.  I ended up getting a cute pair of black flats instead.  I didn't need another pair of black flats, but I couldn't resist.

I was wearing the new shoes to work a few days later and then it suddenly hit me that my shoes matched almost perfectly with a purse I had gotten as a gift a few years earlier and happened to be using that day.  I pointed it out to a couple of girls that I work with that I am friends with and they seemed pretty impressed by how well they matched since it was just a coincidence.

I pointed it out to The Boyfriend a little while later and he was not nearly as impressed.  He did not think they were close to a perfect match.  He thought the colors were a little different and the material was different.  He didn't think they matched any better than any other black purse and black shoes.  Now I know they weren't a perfect match, but they never will be unless they were made together and meant to match.  But to get them at completely different times and completely different stores, I thought it was pretty neat.
