Lyn67 - #12 should have been put at #3, but I loaded up the wrong photo. It is a jump suit that I wear out of work, as I am not sure if it is work appropriate. I did wear it to work on a casual dress day, but I am happy to have it as a weekend piece.
Windchime - Yes nice accessories can make all the difference. I really picked that up from Angie rather than carrying the same black bag everyday.
Mirjana - I always enjoy your posts so much and have benefited from your WIW - I am thrilled to have your feedback as I think we have a similar style.
ChristelJ - Thank you! Taking photos really helps me see what works and does not work. Sometimes just looking in the mirror, it can be hard to work out why something feels off. I sort of listen to my intuition too and trust myself more than before. It helps if you are not adverse to playing with clashing patterns and colours. Today I wore the gingham dress with a leopard cross body bag - fun because it is unexpected and sort of wrong...
Jessicams - sometimes I wonder about what my style is - the styles I find hard to make work for me are grunge or earthy folk style. I do like playing around with different colours and styles as I do get bored easily.
Angie - yes - it is good to set goals, because I know I HAVE to use the Chanel bag... and I loved using it too. Of course, I need to use the other bags as well and as I have been a bit precious with the Owl, then it made sense to also deliberately use that bag this week.
Karen13 - the lavender and lilac are totally new colours to me - not something that I have bought or worn before. So it was lucky that it became fashionable and I was able to give it a try.
Adriana - I have no problem with getting dressed in the morning simply because I have a few fall back outfits that I can wear and know they work. I repeat outfits often.
Rachy - thanks!
Suntiger - Black is my colour this year, so glad I did it proud.
Suz - I kind of like my work style best - it is just easy to feel pulled together in dressy tailored clothing. For me the challenge has been to get a similar impact with my casual clothing and be practical at the same time.
Opaline - the Owl bag is so fun and is easy because when I am at work I am not carrying it around with me - it sits at my desk - so I have the joy of a playful element, without it being too over the top when dealing with clients.
Fashintern - yes playing around with colours is fun. Wearing a pop of colour in an accessory is something that I do a lot - particularly with shoes and bags. I don't have much tangerine in my wardrobe, but I happily wear the shoes with most colours... it means that I don't need to buy a comprehensive collection of items to enjoy a colour.
Cee - you make me laugh!
Barbara Diane - I really like that little pink bag too. Can you believe it was a gift with purchase that came with my red bag? Pink was the colour that they gave me. I am not sure I would have deliberately picked that colour if I had been given a choice, but it has been a really good addition to my bag collection.
Jussie - on weekends I am often wearing jeans and a t-shirt - because it is just so easy and practical.
Gigi - with my colouring most clear and bright colours work on me, but muddy colours are not my friend - so I mainly steer away from those. It is fun that #2 is one of the favourites, given it is so simple and I am wearing my very practical and comfy flat sandals.
Anne - the black suit is a good corporate look. A nice addition for work because sometimes I need to reflect a more serious and professional side.
Joy - this t-shirt came from B-Side Labels - it is a sticker shop (very cool stickers too) and they have a few t-shirts etc. I am sure your son could get you some amazing t-shirts and clothing in Japan, much nicer than dried fish!
