I think the soft colors play nicely with your fair skin and hair without leaving you washed out. Also, I love how the cut of this dress shows off your shoulders and arms. lyn67 on "Some old Midi's - New again?

Others are too girly to my taste, but nr 1 still has potential due the pattern and color scheme. Hope you're feeling better soon!:-) Anonymous on "Some old Midi's - New again?

I vote purge 2 and 3. Deb on "Some old Midi's - New again?

I am  not sure - aside from a couple of vintage coats that I inherited the oldest items I wear in my closet are shoes from 2000, a dress from 2000, a two piece from 2004 and a coat from 2000.  I don't think any of these are really vintage but they have certainly been well worn and thrashed and lasted well.  One dress is maybe a little dated but I still love it, the others in my mind are true classics that mix in fine with my current closet!!

Really! Now I'm feeling old Actually, how old does an article of clothing have to be before it's considered vintage? Are the 80's vintage? The 70's? (I have my great grandmothers seal fur hand muff; I consider that vintage) Sal on "Some old Midi's - New again?

I'm looking for items to purge, because I'm trying to stick strictly to one in one out so my closet doesn't expand. I also don't want to get rid of something I might regret!

I do think it needs a bit of trendy punch. I like the suggestion to pair it with white denim. I love how it still loves you after so many years. That is a testament to personal style and taste. I would let go of 2 and 3...they look dated to my eye. L'Abeille on "Some old Midi's - New again?

How do the colours fit with your new understanding of yourself? I like 1 on you best but it wants mixing up somehow to make it more current and, don't you do more colour?
