first of all I want to thank you all for the comments, advice, and likes of my posts. it has been an eye opening and learning experience for me. I am still not understanding some things like proportion, etc. To me some things have to be assessed on an individual basis. like someone says when you see one size fits all it really means it fits no one. So showing some leg, sock or whatever has to be an individual thing. Also things like -contrast, stumpy looking, even frumpy, can not be applied to everyone or generalized in any way. Also understanding the difference between current and trendy. I can't actually define it, but I think I know it when I see it. But trendy comes and goes-current lasts a while!

Anyhow lets keep up this interesting, helpful, and very worthwhile board-and a big HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all!
