Tanya - I could see you in the velvet pant suit, whilst more pink than lilac, it is definitely a cool toned pink.
Stagaire Fash - you made me laugh. To be honest, I hope I have not offended anyone by referring to their style inspiration - that most definitely has not been my intention.
Angie - just setting a small challenge like this, made me put a bit more effort into getting dressed.
MsMaven - I love the jacket in #4 - it is so light and warm to wear.
Slim Cat - you are too kind.
The Cat - without posting pictures you are most definitely a wise and wonderful forum member who has an amazing eye for fashion. Sorry to hear that you are so busy looking after your parents. I know from experience how challenging and rewarding that can be. I am glad that the forum gives you some time to indulge in your love of fashion.
Janet - a two piece dress is definitely easier to get the fit right and perhaps would be easier to find than an elusive winter dress.
Shevia - the pink suit is super fun - I always feel rather fab wearing that one.
Brooklyn - I so love those boots, stompy, comfortable and pretty. Luckily I am friends with the owner of the shoe shop and when they came in she called me because she knew I would want them.
Carol - yes the forum is filled with people with great style. It is nice to learn from them.
Sal - it was nice to find a way to wear that beautiful jacket.
