1-4: Dark red sweater dress (from Amazon!) and black tall boots for church. Also dark red vintage coat c. 1950 with amazing full sleeves. They are fitted with triple darts into the cuff.

5-6: Another variation on pink and green, this one for a warmer day: short sleeve cotton buttondown in coral with a faint white stripe, with the coral cardigan and thyme green skirt. Also strawberry jewelry.

8-9: Burnt orange striped tee and quilted velvet shirt. I liked the monochromatic effect but got too cold, hence the blue cardigan. Silver and topaz oak jewelry goes perfectly.

10-12: Spring combination again, periwinkle and true green. I added the 1920s repro silk scarf. The pink tweed coat I've had for about 10 years. This was for a day out of appointments and shopping.

13-14: Church outfit. Vintage quilted circle skirt, in a printed corduroy. I would make more of these but you can't get this fabric any more, much less quilted. Another curly hair day and I leaned into the shiny rose gold.

15: More monochrome, this time with the navy version of the same tee. I don't like wearing a color this stark most of the time, but the white helps, and navy is a good color for me.

16-18: Another vintage quilted circle skirt, the first I bought and a real find. Very atomic! The colors are super hard to match; I've had it for years but this is finally the perfect lavender. An ancient Old Navy green sweater is almost a match for the green, but I've never completely matched the bright orange-coral. It's a very attention-getting outfit!

19-20: Nile green cardigan, white boat-neck sweater, and quilted velvet skirt.

21-24: Today's outfit, the green plaid flannel again. With a navy vintage coat, probably pre-1950 since the skirt is rather narrow. Vintage white silk cravat I got at an antique show; probably a man's, but it has my initial (V). I still got cold so I added the jade green cardigan.
