JenniNZ, totally fair to not count the gumboots. I don't count things like garden gloves and aprons. They're tools!
rachylou, there may well be a shopping spree in my future. We'll see how I handle the move.
Joy, oh goodness, I hope not.
Aww thanks, Sterling. I do have some impulse purchases in there, and a couple that have only been worn a few times. We'll see how they work out. Limiting my color palette and setting boundaries is all well and good, but it does make me a little magpie-y when I see my colors.
Style Fan, my Nisolo sandals are requiring some breaking in. I've worn them six times, and they're fine for light walking, but definitely not for higher-step-count days. I do think they'll mold to my feet eventually, but I have normal-width feet and I think they might work best for narrow.
Thanks, shevia. I'm far from perfect, but I'm getting better!
Sal, I have a couple things like that, also not counted--my holey and paint-splattered college sweatshirt comes to mind. Also, the very old shoes that live in the entry and just get slipped on for mail runs and to move the sprinkler.
As for complementary colors, I like the color of this shirt in Finds (also also the lighter grayish blue in the print), Not quite duck-egg, but similar! I always have my eye out for pieces in that color that might work.
suntiger, more sandals, I'm sure!
M, suntiger has you covered!
