What I Wore

Wow Carla the green top brings out your green eyes so well and is so great with your specs!
I like the sneaker versions best.
I hesitate to say but wonder if the black loafers version (pic 3) is a bit more staid than what I think of you as? Maybe it’s the loafers themselves I’m thinking that about? Hope that doesn’t offend, sorry if it does

@ Jenni - agree. Needs…something. Maybe navy sneakers and a navy based scarf with a lot of green? Something ‘sporty’ for juxtaposition?

I echo, Jenni! Green is gorgeous with your eyes, Carla

New 'do is super youthful! Looking fabulous.

I like #1 and #3 best! Team Dressy!

Try adding the puffer in #2 to #1. Finish it off with your black coach bag.

Try adding the pretty flats in #1 to #3. Same black coach bag, and throw in the Hermes Nuba Mountain scarf!

The greens are beautiful, but I have to admit every time I see you do camel, I’m thinking *squee, Catherine Deneuve!*

Agreeing with others, these colours just look great with your colouring.

Agree with both you (navy sneakers and patterned scarf) and Angie (change the loafers out for the other prettier flats) to improve #3.

Autumnal colours look amazing on you and I like how fresh the white jeans look with the green sweater.

Love green color on you - fav #3 and #4. New hairdo is fabulous!
The beige is very pretty on you - would love to see it with your small patterned scarf or small bag for extra fun .

May not sound like a compliment, but you were born to wear beige. So allover tonal and harmonious. That said, the green in your eyes and that sweater are strong!
All of Angies suggestions sound like fun.

Wow 4 fab outfits! All 10 out of 10s

the beige on beige. Fab. Love both, but the puffer and sneakers just make it so perfect !
and the green on green is a combo I wouldn’t have thought of, but it works so well.

Wow your green sweater and spec frames really bring out your pretty eyes!
Going to check out Joe Fresh’s cashmere now…

Well their ‘cashmere’ line is certainly a downgrade from what it used to be - pretty sure they used to do a small selection of 100% for the holiday shopping season, now it’s ‘cotton cashmere’ at 3% actual cashmere! Anyway, I see the price point and given inflation etc, it’s understandable. It’s a pretty green and you’ve influenced me to go try it on.

The beige looks fabulous with your hair , the green with your eyes. You need a beige bag.

Your hair looks so, so beautiful. Thanks for posting these cool outfits. I kind of had the same thoughts about the loafers, although I think they would really look great with jeans.

@ Jules - I don’t have much experience with Joe Fresh, but I saw the sweater in the very small clothing section in the local Independent (but wrong size). The feel (and quality) was surprising for the price point, ($35 CAD!!) and I had been looking for the right colour of beige to go with the skirt.

I ordered the beige and the green and I’ve already worn the green one 7 times despite its recent purchase! It feels very good on the body-perfect (light) weight and warmth for cooler months. If I wear them hard, they may only last a year or two - like most t-shirts. That’s the impression I get, FWIW.

Green is amazing with your eyes!

I like your idea of adding a scarf. But these are going to be winner tops for you. I get that they might wear out quickly but at the price point, that's ok.

I love the cut of those sweaters—you do American sportswear so well. I prefer the green outfits, because they contrast more with your coloring.

Oh the green sweater is just fab on you, especially like outfit 4, I’m a sucker for a cute sporty look. Hair looks great too!

@ Cardiff girl - all natural! I do find parting on one side shows more white, whilst the other side reveals some ‘darker’ red streaks.

BIG THANKS for all the nice comments. I just celebrated turning 63 yo, and feeling good!

PS: will be implementing the style tips suggested!

These are great looks! My favorites are one and three - lovely monochromatic looks. I actually really like the loafers in 3, gives it a modern Audry Hepburn vibe.

Haircut looks great but I have to say I prefer you curly - but I am biased

I'm obsessed with your green outfit!! So chic! IF you want a funkier shoe as some have suggested, maybe it's a fun green shoe of some sort. I think they'd be pretty versatile. LOVE your hair, too!

Thanks for sharing your color experiments. I find ##1-2 inspiring and I love #3 as well. My hair is similar to yours--I've now got white streaks that show from certain angles and I've got a lot of brownish tones as well.

I keep going back to the first look. I'd like to try it with my Ecco 7 gold tone sneakers. I just don't wear skirts much anymore. This afternoon I will be in my closet pulling out some experimental outfits.
