Wow! Thank you all for your helpful and very kind comments!
Susie- that's so sweet! Don't be hard on yourself- you dress with verve and style!
Sarah A- Hmm, I'm wondering what it is about the outfit with the blue jacket that seems different to you?
Sarah- aww, thank you!
Vix- Cheers!
I love the idea of being a Noel Coward heroine!
Deborah, I'm flattered by "trendy, elegant eclectic". That's a style I'd like to aspire to.
I'm surprised that you find my style more trendy than yours! I think of you as quite avant-garde, but maybe that's not quite the same thing. Whatever it is, I LOVE your style.
Rute, thank you!
Denise- that means a lot coming from you- I know you're sensitive to the challenge of keeping abreast of trends while remaining age-appropriate.
Natalie, You're so kind! I do think Blithe Cosmopolitan is a keeper. It's so fun!
The bag in #4 is an Hermès Kelly. I don't carry it nearly enough because I've been wearing silver and I'm matchy about hardware. A Kelly would be fabulous with your style, but it's an even more dangerous addiction than Chanel!
Carlamazinglady- thanks! I don't work in an office- I work in the operating room, so I don't get to wear any of my clothes at work!
Lyn67- thanks! We'll need to figure yours out, next!
Marthe- thank you!
Lantana- I'm flattered! I find your style extremely inspirational as well!
