I'm really humbled by all the helpful and caring replies. Thank you!
Rachy, the slippery slope eh?
Sarah, Keep up the good work, and I wish some interest in style would rub off a little on my pals as well.
You're very kind Cerinda, thanks!
Style fan, I would so got out with you for coffee/tea and a chat if we lived in the same country and we could dress up together. I'm flattered you chose a haircut like mine!
AviaMariah, I'll have a look through UnFancy's posts and check that out. I think the result will probably hark back to Angie's point of acceptance of lifestyle and where the main focus should be for one's wardrobe.
Tulle, thank you. "The important thing is to consult yourself, to ask "What would make me feel better right now?" and then give yourself permission to do just that. It's a small thing that we women-at-home may overlook, and it can make all the difference". I'm going to pin that on my wall!
Thank you Neel, you're very sweet. I always admire you fab style!
