I have missed you Brooklyn. You and Bijou are like my personal little Aussie tag-team to cheer me on, with cute dogs to match. I'm so sorry you have had some challenging times. Hopefully you get some revitalisation time over January.
As for the outfits- stunning! Especially METALLIC BRONZE! ( sorry, had to shout). I am still looking at the metallic bronze boots on Styletread- think I will get for next autumn, just waiting for Boxing Day sales in case price drops further x

Thanks KG. I know people here say that they find skirts hard to style but not pants. I am exactly the opposite. I have yet to figure out why!

Suz, thanks. I think I am improving in the wardrobe planning department. I am far less impulsive than I used to be. I am pretty confident all these items will be winners for me. (Gotta drive down my mistake count - mistakes really bother me.)

FT, that’s my favourite skirt. It’s a great basic. And what you said is really nice. Thank you.

Thanks Jenni. High five for bronze. It’s very Aussie to be bronzed

Merry Xmas/happy holidays to all!

It’s good to see a post from you; sorry to read you’ve had some difficulties recently.

Along with everyone else, I adore the green coat on you; it’s really wonderful! I also love the Anthropologie geometric skirt; I like all of your refresh items, actually. You look fantastic, as always.

You look fantastic despite your feeling of low energy - hope it carries through to how you feel soon. The green coat is amazing of course. You look gorgeous in every single item!

Sharp and lovely

You and your wardrobe look as lovely as ever despite whatever challenges you have been facing.l wish you a very happy Xmas and all the very best for the coming year.

You look fantastic!

Missed You, too, Brooklyn, hope you are going to charge up in the New Year! Love the new warmer color scheme, the forrest green and cognac looks so rich together, and that coat is pure luxury! Your autumn is around the corner only a few months appart, isn't it, hope to be able to wear your new things with ease and joy asap!:-)

You have a great style. Whenever I see your outfits I start to think that I should wear more skirts myself. But then I remember that I don’t look that great in them as you
We just got the Monki store - how is the quality?

Thanks Anchie, but I think you look good in most things! I think Monki is pretty good for the price. It's priced similarly to Zara but is better quality in my opinion. They use more natural fibres. Admittedly the bronze top is synthetic (because it's metallic) but a lot of their stuff is cotton or a cotton blend, such as the green top in pic 6. I love it when retailers use natural fibres.

And thanks Lyn, Cheryl, CG, Cee, Shevia and Windchime!
