I see that I am way behind on this thread. Sorry, grandchildren came unexpectedly so their parents could prepare for visitors.
Zaeobi, thank you for your astute observations. Some of those outfits got posted twice and some have been removed. You are correct. I am no longer happy with that tank in the last outfit, and will look for a replacement because I like the color with that silk jacket.
cat2, that is wise. I have been wearing some black although the temperatures have reached 100F on a couple days this week. This is not a tropical area so black feels ok.
Bonnie, thank you. I like black or other dark colors worn with white or brights in summer. Black straw is popular.
Catherine, thank you. Comfortable shoes are very important to me. My summer footwear must be stable and walkable, cool yet covering feet, easy off and on for hardwood floors. I also look for shoes that are light weight. I am happy that you got some inspiration.
ophelia, when I chose the pieces for the challenge one comment was that things looked dark, so I have been trying to lighten them up most days.
Time to feed the dog. I will be back.
