Barbara Diane- that can be annoying!!

Vildy - I admire your approach as photos can skew your opinion. Sometimes feel is more important than visuals.

There is clearly not one approach that works for all. And who we see as our audience - family, colleagues, YLF or ourselves. And for most of us it is fluid.

Confidence is the key isn’t it - that’s why Kate Moss could rock her Glastonbury outfits or Iris Apfel looks fantastic. I need to remind myself that personal style does not need a model body nor a large closet at times.

Agree completely about confidence. Knew a fellow years ago, then older than me, whose philosophy it was to go ahead and do what you want to and most people will step back and let you. Meaning that someone who has the confidence or passion in what they are doing makes it look "right".
The opposite of Effortless Dressing - you made the effort and likely knew what you were doing.
