Good morning,

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend.

It's a new week, and a new Link Love thread. Did you find anything interesting last week, then do tell and add a short blurb about why you would like to share the link.

Thank you!

I enjoy how many outfits you can have from only 15 items. Since I strive for a minimal closet this is perfect for me. (15 fashions for 30 days) http://cabicanary.com/?p=8716

I must be doing too much computer work, because I loved Pixelated Fashion. It might be too late for Halloween this year, but the pixelated face makeup and shirt would be a great geeky costume. (Caution: the bikini may be NSFW - I hope that is ok.) http://do-while.com/15-coolest.....cessories/

If you enjoy simple, strong, modern and minimal style, I highly recommend that you follow "Style With Class" on Pinterest, and particularly the board called "Street Chic".

I found this informative post about different ways to cuff and roll your jeans:

This picture really brings home the importance of wearing clothes that fit properly, especially when you get older. As the writer says, the poor fit of this 400+ MaxMara dress makes a beautiful woman look like a sack of spuds. I've often thought that frumpiness, at any age, has more to do with ill-fitting clothing than with the actual items of clothing being worn, and this picture really illustrates that point.

If you click on the Guardian links in the blog, you can really see how this particular stylist has NO idea as to how to dress an older woman. Terrible outfits!

I'm still obsessing about packing tips, and I loved this blog post about packing for a week in New York over at The Gardener's Cottage: http://thegardenerscottage.blo.....-city.html. Then I poked around her blog some more, with the subtitle "simplicity, vegan cooking, gardening, style," and I am totally enamored of all of it!

I found a article that talked about saving up for big splurges. I've rad this blog off an on, but I like how she justified saving for 2 years (I think) for the Louboutins.

This made a lot of sense to me: her idea that looking effortless works best on a linear body because the clothes can hang loose and still look the way they were intended. And that people who are curvier and need more fitted clothes are always going to look less relaxed.
[or why I am longing to look like every one of those slender stalks on Angie's street chic pinterest link]

Winter is coming, and thus I find the idea of wearing cropped black pants with opaque tights and flats quite interesting as presented in the Vivienne Files http://theviviennefiles.blogsp.....pants.html.

I wonder if the tights should be a contrast color, or blend with the shoes or/and pants?

Thank you Kristin, Vildy and Ingunn.
Ingunn: If you are after a long leg line than I think the same colour trousers, tights and shoes would be a good idea?

Yes Inge, that sounds very reasonable. I would absolutely do that with sheer hose, but opaque black tights are not always the best choice with other black fabric. Maybe one could choose a shoe in a contrast color and match the tights to the shoe for a cool look. Yes?

Since I inadvertently posted a repeat, I'm trying again! LOL

Check out Catherine's amazing casual outfit over at Not Dressed as Lamb! There is nothing about it I don't love: The pattern mixing! The oxfords! The Clark Kent specs! The colorblock bag! And oh my goodness gracious, the THREE VINTAGE WATCHES ON ONE WRIST!!

*chuckle* MaryK, thanks for another fab link:-)

That sounds fun, Ingunn, I'm no expert on this at all, but am kind of liking the idea of e.g. a burgundy/aubergine shoe (oxfords came to mind first) with similar coloured opaque tights. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Thanks again everyone for the brilliant links. This week's thread is now closed.
