Hi everyone! I recently posted a WIW after quite a while lurking and commenting--I received so much positivity and encouragement from everyone--I really can't thank you enough--but the post and other things have had me thinking about a style shift--to a simpler/more dramatic look, involving softer drapier knits in both dresses and skirts, (midi, and maxi) as well as pants. So many on the forum do this look so well--and I have totally been inspired. Lots of black with a pop of clear bright color on top and with my accessories (hello citron bag!).

I guess what I am asking for are your thoughts and suggestions on how to proceed and what to avoid as I shift.
Also I just treated my self to the Freebird Quails and am wondering if
these edgy sandals will work with the draped look of the harem pant. (I know they look fab with maxi dresses.)

Thanks for reading and taking the time to respond. I look forward to your input!
