Angie - Indeed, I have found a style groove. It only took what....14 years of being on YLF for that to happen?
*happily collects killer rating* Pairing bags and footwear is such an easy and fun way to add interest to an outfit. I have a pair of red boots and just found a cranberry crossbody bag that is a perfect match. I had to take the boots off for TSA recently and the agent said "oh, that's so neat that your bag and boots match." It made me chuckle.
Removing black will take a long time, and I'm looking forward to thinking of ways to lighten up my black pieces. The plaid pants did that nicely here.
Star - I'm also a fan of olive and black together, it always looks chic to my eye. A great point about the black adding depth, I hadn't thought of that, but indeed it does! Thanks for looking!
RobinF - Thank you for the kind words and for looking!
Bonnie - Outfit #1 has been a favorite color combination for me too. I really like the seafoam with red. Thanks for looking!
JAileen - You'll have to enjoy the snow for me! We have rain today and temperatures will climb back close to 70F over the weekend.
