Sally, elephant minimalism it is! I prefer knits, but I do wear more wovens in the Summer because they're often breezier. I do like some color and prints, and there's plenty of it on my Pinterest board and in my closet, but yet these looks speak to me so much more than the colorful ones. I thi k there's a place for both color and prints in this style, but I'll have to give that some thought.
Sterling, comfortable confidence is good. I do see both easy and relaxed in that.
Aquamarine, yes, the trick is getting them right! I do have some print tops I wear often. I can see some, but not others, fitting into this style.
Vildy, yes, "refined" is a high achievement indeed! Refined casual definitely fits. That also keeps me from swinging boho...which I can tend to do. Although I like boho, it's not the look I would want to be wearing if I were to run into a client, an old boss, an old boyfriend, etc. That probably tells me something, right?
