Thanks, all. This is a great challenge to start the year and I am enjoying it.
I am happy to wear the crown of Queen Lilac & Red, Angie. I also like lilac and burgundy so expect to see some of that, soon!
Thank you, Christel. You know, I never really pattern mixed at all until. YLF and as soon as I read a few of Angie's blog posts on it and saw some images, it all just fell into place intuitively. Now I love it and have literally no idea how I got dressed without this option!
kkards, thank you! Yes, it's a bit different to see me in a column of (almost) solid neutral, especially not blue. This is charcoal.
Bijou, it makes total sense this challenge would not work so well in high summer! I'd feel much the same.
Star, thank you. And it makes sense with your love of grey! High five to my grey-loving fab sister!
Inge, thank you. I think it works because they both have a similar level of saturation/ brightness.
AJ, thanks! The pants are in the Finds -- Wit & Wisdom. On me, of course, they are more or less full length, not cropped like on the model. Inexpensive and SUPER fab. They were one of Angie's top sale picks from the NAS.
