Vildy, thank you! Very informative! Maybe I unknowingly got my inspiration there. Hmmm. Is that plagiarism?

CobaltSprite, Caro, Ornella, Jamie, Ali, Kelly, Manidipa, Tina, Diane, Shannon, Angie, Asignh -- thank you!

Dear Suz: Had to jump to page 2 to chime in since so many members have given thoughtful, specific feedback. I just wanted to say that you look like you're full present in everything you're wearing here -- like it's an extension of you, not an attempt to show you're aware of trends, or dressing to hide or highlight assets or flaws. Angie commented on Shannon's post today that she dressed "from the heart," and perhaps that's what I'm seeing here. Brava!

What a kind and thoughtful comment, Beth Ann!! I think you are right - I am consulting my feelings more closely these days.

Fantastic! Rather than repeat the well deserved praise above (but I do second it), I will compliment your bracelet. I am a non-jewelry person but this looks perfect. Well done hubs!

These are gorgeous outfits, Suz! I LOVE the blue gloves and the leopard print pants are making me drool! I agree, that black is such a flattering neutral for you and you have all these amazing statement pieces to make your outfits special. I just love your style!

I love each and everyone of these, Suz and especially seeing you wearing the necklace and the bracelet is such a treat. Those SW booties were made for your ankles. Oh and the coat and blue leather gloves, just perfect.

You look like Urban Royalty especially the teal gloves 0 they are sooo cool, You are inspirational as always.

Suz, what fantastic outfits and fantastic pieces! Yay for the booties, they are totally you. I bet you can't wait another 2 months or so when it becomes a bit warmer and we can all wear booties outside everyday.
Outfit coat+gloves+booties! OMG! Love love love. So good! Gloves are just that punch of colour needed here, their sleekness responding to the booties' smooth finish, marrying perfectly to the button-up, close to the body coat.

And that first outfit! With the free, self-determining belt! Again just what you needed on this very classic, well fitted ensemble. The pullover is an ingenious way to stay warm AND trendy.

Finally, the pant outfit. Love it so much! This might be my favourite. It's all at once soigné yet with just enough loose that it doesn't look constraint, just that little bit of movement for grace and style. Pendant is absolutely perfect, it grounds it all, again, an expression of simplicity in its most effective form. Booties are great here too!!! A different look than with the skirt, they enhance the pants by contrasting their print. Bravo!
(And the bracelet are beautiful with it too).

About the clingon trousers: I wonder is there isn't just a bit too much fabric at the bottom, making them bend like this. Then again, it might be just that little extra fabric that makes them swish when in movement, producing an elegant effect. But they do look good.
