Bijou, what shade of red?

Bijou, I agree that hair colour has a significant impact on which colours you can wear successfully. Earlier in my life I have had similar experiences to yours.

I did it! I said I wasn’t going to cull until fall, but the last few times I’ve worn my thick black tights, I’ve told myself the hole in the toe was unacceptable, especially once it was big enough for the front half my foot to slip through. Still, they were there and so tempting that i continued wearing them. So today, as I contemplated buying rags to scrub the floor (seems so wasteful), I grabbed them and chopped that side off above the ankle. There will be more to come, including style-based choices, but for now, this is a big step for me.

On hair sizes, I’m always amazed how well Krishna’s wardrobe supports whatever new wig she’s pulling on.

Updated at end.

Fantastic! Thanks to you I have edited out 8 more things, before that it was only one for 2019. And 3 were so worn out they went to the “clothing bin”, so yay. I will do a new thread x

I also did my edit and I was pretty ruthless. I had a very big bag going into the recycling bank, plus a lot of items that were too small went to my sister. I only have three items left that I don't fit into right now, my plaid skirt which was a wardrobe workhorse for ages and some dressy black culottes which looked very nice when they fit. Plus some dressy shorts. I'm not sure how much I have left in numbers, but there's a lot of room now.

Well done, suntiger. And you are wise who spend the necessary time to identify your pitfalls and lessons.

Only "safe" purchases for the time being!
