Thanks SO MUCH to all of you for the overwhelmingly kind comments. I know this was a lot, and I appreciate you taking the time to look and share your thoughts.
CocoLion - I hope you'll share photos of your version of the twinset. I hope the yellow Docs get some wear this year!
Suntiger - thank you. I do feel good in both cream and olive!
Suz - yep, Winners for the win. I have to admit I'm pretty excited about the skirt. I like nothing better than finding something that costs little but reads like more.
Thanks, Angie! I especially appreciate the nods to the camo outfits which are the most "out there" of this bunch for me.
SF -- I couldn't compete with your fabulous "jump" pose, but I did want to try to make things interesting to look at (and find the most flattering angles!) Glad they made you smile!
Echo - I think 9 and 10 are my faves, too. And the olive is making me pretty happy.
Slim cat and Star - Long live the long cardigan.
Rachy -- blush. Thanks.
Synne -- Diagnose away! I don't really know much about Kibbe, other than seeing the term here on the forum a few times. I know I've enjoyed seeing your outfits, but now I'll keep a different eye out trying to think about that style descriptor.
Bijou -- thank you, and done. Cream sweater was final sale and I can't imagine why I would return the skirt. I didn't know I needed it until I had it in my hand.
PP -- yes, I do have a lighter cardi that might also work, and I will definitely explore softer options. The black tee/black cardi "twinset" is a comfort zone for me -- and sometimes I just like the "toughness" of all black. Wanted to play that out with the camo pants and new combat boots. But I do love the justaposition of the softer sweaters with the "tough" pants and boots.
Shevia -- thanks for the hair love! I would not have imagined myself buying camo anything, quite frankly. Was not on my radar. And then the green jacket happened...
Vildy, Firecracker -- thank you for the affirmation on the stripes!
Brooklyn -- Thank you! Earth tones 4-evah!
Janet - thanks for the love to the camo with the yellow boots. It's so interesting to see how different looks resonate with different people!
Thanks, Helena -- I think I said it already, but I was pretty excited about the cream/toffee mix. (and now I am also hungry, for some reason LOL!)
RobinF - thank you. I thought the yellow boots might be a way to be a bit playful with the camo, and it sounds like it succeeded!
Bonnie, Jonesy -- thanks for the kind words!
