Thanks for all the wonderful comments ladies, you gals totally made my day
Lisa, thank you! I do select my shoes very particularly with each outfit; I love how they can add just the right finishing touch, and how they can be used to change attitude, tone, visual elements, among other many things!
Deborah, I also love red! I wear much more of it in fall/winter, not sure why especially since white+red+turquoise is one of my favorite combos. (And now that I say that, I don't think I've worn it this summer. Hmm, have to get on that!)
Morethanbeige, thanks One of my main dressing goals is lengthening, and I always try to get a little bit in with each outfit whether it's with shoes, accessories, or garment cut.
Jonesy, I was so happy with your comment on #3 that I wore a variation of it today with the JCrew avocado silk shirt that you inspired me to get (with a bright turquoise scarf!) ^^
crwilson, thank you and nice to see you again! I've definitely been having fun getting into my style over the last few months. Hope that you've been getting lots of chances to wear that dynamite Stop Staring dress
Carole, I'm a recent convert to orange but I don't have much of it in my wardrobe; hoping to work it into more outfits this fall! Pairing with red and white has been my go-to so far. I am trying to remember to wear my hats more often when I'm out in the sun, and for the boat trip was so glad I did because there were zero clouds that day (even though it was super windy as you can see by me holding onto it in most of the photos, tee hee!).
Rute, thanks so much! I am really happy to now have items in my wardrobe that I love that aren't plain tees. Amazing how much it helps
