Rachy - I have found the longer pencil dresses feeling fresher to me too. With a cropped jacket they really elongate the legs.
Firecracker - the plaid dress is a favourite for me too. I never buy dry clean only dresses, but for this one, I made a very rare exception because I liked that much.
Angie - so pleased the Power Suit is a favourite. The fabric and construction are just beautiful.
Janet - thanks for saying that I look professional. In my line of work I wear much more colour than most (black, grey and navy are the unofficial uniform of accountants) - so I don't want to push things too far.
Jenni - You have a good eye! The cropped KM jacket is probably going to be the most worn item - as I have worn it 3 times since getting it 2 weeks ago. The jacket was on sale from winter stock and I thought given it was about 50% off, it was worth a try (ordering online). It arrived all rumpled and I was a bit unimpressed, but since giving it an iron, and wearing it I absolutely love it.
Sal - I know you have had a really hard time lately and winter weather does not help. Spring is just around the corner, our days are getting longer and the temps are already warmer than they were.
Kathie - the formality of my work place actually helps in honing my work style. I actually like the constraints that it places on what I can wear.
Suntiger - thank you, I need to get something sparkly so you can carry it off!
Shevia - YLF has helped me a lot to embrace a signature style. I find others WIWs really useful. Real women and what they actually wear as opposed to the fantasy of a magazine.
Runcarla - I seem to have a bit of a peplum and cropped jacket thing happening at the moment. At least the Power Suit has a longer line to mix things up. I really like the spit hem on the pants too - a nice touch and helps show off nice shoes.
Fashintern - I always have a bit of a hard time knowing what to call these posts. Glad that you did not think my style needed a complete makeover.
Mainlady - I have always aspired to be like the ladies in Absolutely Fabulous! For me, Patsy has been a complete style icon.
Brooklyn - I like Spring and Summer clothing because the lighter colours really work for me. I had a white jacket last summer and it got stained from a black dress - only on the inside, so I can still wear it - but at least I have two nice pristine white jackets.
Suz - ah the dresses, I just love wearing dresses. Getting myself to buy some trousers has been quite the challenge when there are such lovely dresses to tempt me!
TG - I wear ankle boots with everything as for me they are the most comfortable footwear other than trainers. I think ankle boots is pretty much a key part to my signature style and so I am thrilled that you think they keep the classic dresses looking fresh.
Gryffin - thank you so much - being compared to Kim Novak is just wow!
Windchime - Thank you and I am glad that you like the return to a more streamlined dressing approach for me. The boho is fun in small doses. I like dressy boho if that is such a thing.
Tammyb - a good white suit just feels so fresh at the end of winter. Of course, I don't have Angie's amazing keeping clean ability, so I have to be quite careful about what I eat when wearing this suit.
