Jonesy, now I'm very curious about how you'd describe your approach! I think I find my joy in wardrobe curation more than in outfit creation, which has pros and cons. My outfits are definitely less inspired than others', but my preference is to put in the (enjoyable) work upfront rather than at the point of getting dressed.
nemosmom, hah! I struggle with minimalism too. I'm a "sort of" minimalist--I really prefer having less stuff than I have space, but I don't always succeed at that goal.
(On the mustard dress...alas, the sizing doesn't work for me, but it's definitely the kind of piece I'm looking for, just not the one.)
slim cat, it comes back to that "trying too hard to make something work" thing that Irina talked about in her "ordinary" thread. It rarely works for me to just seek out a color. I need it to happen more organically than that.
