Thanks Angie - we are on the same page here!!
And you too Cee.
Suntiger - I think pink and terracotta work in the desert or in a sunset - I am happy as this is a nice easy summer outfit that takes me from work to a BBQ (which was yesterday)
Lyn - I don't have a pic of the unflattering tee - I might track one down. it was red, crew neck, a size too big, sleeves to the bust, thick cotton. Not good untucked as it came to my widest point, not good tucked........
TG - the culottes need to be well worn as they were expensive......but I think perfect for my climate and lifestyle. I had a similar pair about 10 years ago and wore them a lot too. And hats are an essential with the fierce sun here.
Jussie - no pic of the offending outfits. I can wear earth tones - I prefer them mixed in with other colours than alone. I love terracotta with black, and with denim and with pink. I love mustard with navy and also with denim. I used to wear chocolate with duck egg blue and I like this too.
Thanks Jane and Karen - we will be swapping places in six months time. Replace the snow with rain or fog though....
Thank you Joy - linen is so comfortable in warm weather. I am at peace with the crease:)
