"coxed", Gaylene you cracked me up:-))
This thread is making me smile uncontrollably. Absolutely brilliant how so many of us are trying new things and stepping out of our comfort zones.
And you are absolutely right, Angie. I will always love my extra cool colours, and the citron sweater was a real gamble, but I love it so much on me. So much that it's currently one of my favourite sweaters. Also: I am now considering trying a camel sweater too - a colour I've always thought was very unflattering on me - but I so love how elegant and chic it looks with whites and light blues. I think I can make it work with my Burberry scarf or with the addition of one of my jackets.
Yes to trying ankle strap pumps too. I often wear things that veer away a little from traditionally flattering, e.g. baggy and slouchy trousers, volume on volume etc., but up until now was a little scared to try ankle strap pumps because of my less than dainty ankles (I've always loved the look of ankle straps on others!). But life's too short to obsess about that, so I am going to try to make them work, there. Now it's "just" a matter of finding the right pair. I say "just" because for me it's not only about the right ankle strap and where it hits me, but also about the need for a very comfy low-heeled shoe…
Ooh and I just bought a pair of jeans in a very light wash, something I last wore when I was about 18 I think.
Here's to tons more fashion fun this season!
