Thank you, Aubergine! I'm glad you like my dress. I think it has several styling possibilities depending on the occasion. The tights/boots alternative is an absolute necessity when the weather cools down, so I'm glad it seems fine. The green/cognac colors feel a bit retro, like 70-ish, to me, I don't know why. Are they?

Shevia, refinement is probably the word. Thank you for mentioning that, and for your kind words. You're always a pick-me-upper:)

Thank you Mona! There will always be room for classics in my wardrobe, more and more, in fact. Good luck fall shopping.

I think these are all very consistent with your style, and yet keeping things moving in a refined (and not girly) way, so you definitely seem to be on the right track! They all look wonderful -- I'm really kind of blown away by how this looks like the work of a professional stylist. I particularly like your new printed dress with the black boots and tights, the green dress (that color! love!) in all its unbelted incarnations, and the white jeans/grey sweater/cognac accents look is perfection.

Ingunn, how smart of you to put these cooler weather looks together now so that when a cold front moves through, you will be ready and confident.
I agree with others that your style seems to be moving to the more modern side of classic. I like the first dress all the ways that you have styled it. When it gets cold enough to wear tights and tall boots, perhaps a black blazer or other topper will balance them if needed.
The long cardigan as a sweater dress is fab. Now I will look at long cardigans with that possibility in mind when shopping.
Love that green dress. I like the version best with cognac but all look wonderful on you, including the belt, which would also work with cognac.
The chambray shirt is a brilliant addition.
The grey sweater outfit is my favorite; with white and cognac...yum!

Thank you Janet! I'm smiling at unbelted incarnations:)

Joy, thank you! I agree that a black topper will balance out the dark legs nicely when the weather permits it. I appreciate that you like the humble grey sweater. It is possibly the best sweater I've ever had, and I hope to get to wear it again soon.

Ingunn, these are fab additions/replacements to your wardrobe. I like your new style direction. The difference is subtle, but there.
The dresses are so terrific on you, and I like all your stylings. I do like the belt with the green dress, and I think it's because it pulls the look together so nicely. In the look without the belt, your shoes bookend your hair and go with the bag, so the look is instantly polished. With the black booties and tights, I like that the belt ties in with the coat and a little bit with your hair (in that it's lighter). I wouldn't say the outfit needs the belt, but I think it's a very nice complement to the outfit.

Thank you, Sharan, for your kind words! Your point about the belt tying it together is very true. I had that in mind when I put it on. Maybe a scarf in these colors would do the same? I have a nice leopard scarf I could try.

How do I LOVE your classic, appealing wardrobe. It is so well adapted to your shape and hair too. You are daring with colors, so chic!

I'm in love with your oxfords.

Ingunn - I totally copied you today! Love all your looks but that last set is the only one I can shop my closet for.

I love your new wrap dress -- the fit and details are wonderful as well as the print. I also love how you have the sweater belted over it in #2. Definitely a wise investment.
I am not loving the green dress. I think it's too fluid. I adore the color on you especially in contrast to your hair. I love the cheetah print belt paired with the green. Layering underneath may help.
I also love #7 -- however it's not nearly as fluid as I'm assuming your new style direction calls for. I have it on my list to acquire a similar classic navy blazer.
