Hey guys,

Here is what I wore today.

I could use your help on some other issues though.

In the two photos on the post labeled "For YLF", you can see that I experimented with tucking in the button down in to the pencil skirt, and adding a meidum-width belt. I am trying to experiment with my three belts that I have, so that I can add them to my outfits to give it a little bit of structure.

However, looking through my wardrobe makes me a little nervous.

I have five full suits (two pant-suits and three skirt-suits), six button downs (3/4 sleeve baby blue, 3/4 sleeve blue/silver stripe, long sleeve medium blue, long sleeve black & white stripe, 3/4 sleeve brown fitted collared pullover with ruching at the very center of the breast bone down to the natural waist, long sleeve floral with beige background), long sleeve crewnecks/boatnecks in medium hunter green, black, and mauve, short sleeve v-neck shirt in jade green and mauvish/dark pink<depends on the lighting) with side ruching, carribean blue two-finger strapped v-neck tank, floral on white tank, black halter top with small sequins at the breast, blue lace wide-strapped tank, black lace wide-strapped tank, ivory lace two-finger width strapped v-neck tank, strappy solid tanks in medium baby blue and red, strappy solid tanks with lace either at the breast or waist in white, black, light pink, red pencil skirt, brown pencil skirt, black satin pencil skirt, grey floral embelisshed skirt (hits a little above the knee when standing), peach cocktail dress, black 'Audrey Hepburn' style dress, black strappy tie-back dress with black/gold rope straps, floral cross-strapped dress with maroon background, lace shrug, gold cropped short sleeve jacket (again, very 'Audrey Hepburn'-era), black patterened cropped 3/4 sleeve jacket with 'Jackie O' type collar, white A-line skirt with silver threaded floral design, white A-line skirt with ivory embellished ribbon at hem, red heels, tan strappy heels, beige peep toes, beige/ivory peep toes, gold kittne heels, black kitten heelss, black,white , and navy checkered peacoat for winter, blue, white, grey tiny checkered scarf from Italy for winter, grey suede "dressy" gloves for winter, orange, green, white, tan etc. (tiny) braided scarf for winter).

Now, I believe that is everything in my closet i.e. all of the pieces of clothing, shoes & winter wear I own.

As you can see, I do not have vast amount of colour in my wardrobe. Perhaps, it is, because I have always had an aversion to colour, as it makes you stand out more. However, I do have beautiful jewelry (earrings, necklaces, bracelets) that have loads of colour in them, and I always wear at least one piece of jewelry everyday.

Now, I am trying to add colour (little by little), but for some reason have an aversion to it and so I tend to play it safe (with my clothing I play it safe, my jewelry is a whole different story!).

Any suggestions for adding colour to my wardrobe, mixing my current pieces together to make new outfits, tucking my button downs into pants/skirts/jeans and wearing belts with them?
Thanks ahead a time for the suggestions.

p.s. Sorry for such a long post.

Stay tuned for tomorrow's fashion.
