Accidentally bought gold belt buckle

[softy]

I was shopping early in the morning and not quite awake, and I accidentally bought a belt with a gold, rather than a silver, buckle. I'm disappointed about it and find the gold color a little corny. Just wanted to rant.

Gold works with browns. Silver with blacks

work it with a gold-cased watch with brown strap

The belt is brown, fortunately. It's strange, I really thought the buckle was silver when I bought it.

I feel compelled now to wear gold shoes and a gold sportcoat. It's the only way to obscure the shame of the belt.

Can't you return it?

 

[softy]

I actually managed to wear it for 24 hrs without noticing it was the wrong color.
If I were feeling cheeky I suppose I could return to the store and try the squeaky wheel tactic, although the belt already has a minute crease from being cinched.

ha, this is an idiot thing to do but I did something similar earlier today. I wore a polished stainless steel buckle the entire day thinking it was brass. It was the lighting I tell you... When you say gold, do you mean brass? Or is this belt actually gold plated?

 

[softy]

Yes, I of course meant brass; I was just distinguishing between "gold" and "silver" colors.
If it were solid gold I would definitely be

right now.
I guess it's sort of a lighter shade, not super yellow. It's not that bad.
It's the lighting, yeah...

What is wrong with a brass buckle?

 

[softy]

Dunno, never cared for it

this is good advice. I prefer the "silver" buckle over the "gold" buckle because brass is something my dad would wear

I associate gold buckle with the Brooks Brothers sack suit wearing set.
Looks fine on luggage and bags, though.

You should have told me you were posting here son.

Are there any father-son SF poster duos?

I always prefer a brass buckle on most anything (belts, monks, etc) as my wedding ring is gold which is the only piece of jewelry I wear. Perhaps one day I'll get another watch. But it would have to be gold in color, of course.
