I've definitely been seeing more sheer hose now, and less opaques. It's a nice trend and I like how it's a lighter effect. Your nails are amazing!

I'm sorry about the occasion for wearing it, but that's a mighty fabulous dress and perfect styling.

This outfit is so perfect for the somber occasion. Olive is a terrific color for you, Lisa. I really like that coat.

Thank you very much for the kind comments - I’m more than a little thrilled to have have found a versatile dress that’s not black . I hope to have occasion to wear it again this winter !

An elegant outfit! The necklace fascinates me - looks like a citrine?


I vote that olive is the new black.

Fab manicure! The shiny nail is like a beautiful beetle.

I’m sorry for your husbands loss

I am sorry for your loss. This is a very sophisticated outfit, and I like your nails.

Sloper - thanks ! It was one of my favourite pieces for quite a few years , then I stopped wearing statement pieces like this . I’m sure it’s a fake stone of some sort - amber in colour .

Love everything about this outfit and sorry for you loss.

Wow that colour works well on you; definitely the dress is good. It looks comfortable too.
Sorry for your loss.
