@carambola, my tan coat? If so, thank you! I love it. I was convinced that I couldn't wear any variation of beige, but luckily Angie set me strait on that one and this lovely coat found a loving home with me.
@caro, I do love color, but it has been a slow process! You and Deborah both immediately come to mind when I think of posters who brilliantly employ a limited palette to create gorgeous outfits. Why change what you love, right?
@shemarie, thank you! My favorite part is that it has a diamond quilting pattern on the sleeves. So fun!
@Janet, Firecracker, Ceit and Pil, thank you very much!
@Anna, you, my dear are becoming a minimalist before our very eyes! Honestly? I would normally go for my gold and black belt too. I was just feeling like the tan bag and coat were a lot of beige to wear with just the boots, so I put on the belt to balance it. The belt is pretty much covered up by the sweater as I wear it, so I suspect your tweak is probably what people around me are actually seeing. (BTW, thanks for jumping in. I know you were planning to post and participate less this year, so I am particularly grateful that you stuck around and am very grateful for your comments! xo)
