Lovely outfits rute! Love the purple and the yellow. I really like how you layered the yellow top on the white blouse with poofy sleeves.

Nice outfits. My favorite is the yellow top. That is an amazing color on you.

Super duper fab! (fellow woven top gal here - shaking hands with you). I love how you wear colour. Very flattering.

Rute, you're beautiful! Such a nice figure and smile :) I love the yellow top on you especially, so fab with the white sleeves poking out!

I love the layering - I never would have thought of that! Yellow is fab color.
You have a great haircut by the way.

Thank you gals!
These photos are really helpping me, a year ago I wore black everyday head to toe! I'm forcing myself to dive into color and when I see these photos I realize more clearly what is best for me .... I think I will have to carry my camera to the changing room with me and take photos before deciding what to buy!

You look gorgeous in color. Your dark hair really sets off the colors you are wearing.
I believe you said in another post that you don't like your arms in the sleeveless dress picture. Am I right on that? I think your arms are absolutely beautiful. I'd give just about anything to have arms like yours. You should show them off.

Thank you san! That's is true I hate to see may arms and never use the red dress because of that!

Don't give up the color. You look great in purple, which is one of my favorite colors, too.

You are so beautiful! I love you in the purple especially. I love the white peeking out from under the yellow too.

I absolutely love the red dress on you and it makes me sad that you do not wear it. I think you are 100% knockout in that dress.

Fantastic outfits! My favorite is also the lavender/purple - the color is so lovely on you! I have also been working on adding color to my wardrobe over the last year or so. I had to force myself at first (I almost ALWAYS wore a black item - either on top or on the bottom). But now it is become so much easier. The pictures are so helpful! I always bring my camera to the dressing room now.

Rute - I love your outfits, your use of color and above all, how they all seem to suit you so well - just like a second skin. And I think your face and smile really add to your style.

Rute, I think many of us take our cameras into the dressing room now. I have found the pictures both here and on my shopping trips so helpful.

Rute, I like all of your outfits. I'm going to repeat what everyone said - you look incredible in color. Keep experimenting, and you have a good eye for what works. I also adore your haircut :)

I love all your outfits Rute! The shirt with the purple cardi outfit suits your beautiful figure so well and the yellow top outfit looks fantastic!

Hi everyone,
Thank you for your advice!
Today I went shopping and brought my camera with me.. you are so right... it helps you to see the whole outifit with other eyes.. on monday i will show you some photos and of course one of the choosen outifit!

You have a great smile, Rute! And I love that purple top! Can't wait to see your new photos.

I'm loving that purple top x

I am crazy for that yellow top! I find taking a camera to the dressing room -- and even just taking photos of my outfits in the morning at home -- helps give good perspective on how the outfit REALLY looks. There have been many I've changed out of after I've taken the daily morning photo.

Kristen!
Great advice! When taking this fotos to you I realized that the black blouse I was so found of and wear over and over is not so great for me because it makes my shoulders look huge.. I think I will take a foto every morning... besides this will help me thinking more on what to wear and accessories and not just put something on and leave the house running.

Your outfits are all fab! I love all the colors you have in your wardrobe, they look so bright and cheery! You really know what looks great on you! :)
