Apologies for disappearing, having really busy period, with start of the school year, medical appointments and various social obligations. Most days I am out the door at 8AM am and back home only after 9PM, exhausted. But looking forward to quiet Sunday at home today.
Shevia - yes, light blue looks great with brown, but I don’t have much in that color unfortunately. Just sweater and chambray shirt that I posted above in finds. And I don’t wear them much, probably because I don’t have anything to match them and I am matchy-matchy at heart. That is probably the reason why I am so hesitant about introducing new color, I will not wear it if it is something stand alone.
LisaP - I know what you mean about your hair clashing withe the brown. My white/silver hair can’t be more on the cool side, but I hope with so many different shades of brown, there must be some that will go with our hairs too.
shiny - I am familiar with Vivienne Files, I am similarly analytical as her, and love to look at her color palettes for inspiration . But I don’t always like the clothes she chooses and how she pairs them, proportions often look wrong.
Marilyn - I don’t see anything yet at my favorite retailers, and search for brown returns many different colors like mustard, rust and tan but almost nothing true brown.
rachylou - I never thought about brown not being done, you mean it doesn’t look sharp enough? My daughter is into horseback riding and I am at the stables weekly, so I will fit in
Mainlady - thank you, some great color suggestions, especially orange red and turquoise are my favorites colors. Not sure about more earth colors, no experience with them, will probably need to experiment, but don’t want to go completely earth tones too.
