Sorry I did not get to responding on this thread earlier: there is no downtime at work these days.
Thank you all so much your lovely comments on my week, I really appreciate it!
Anna, Inge and Ceit, I am officially on the lookout for more things in this particular shade of light blue!
Suz, this Gap sweater dress was a very easy winter uniform for me.
I am so happy that my "bright and sunny" outfit gets so much love here. I need to wear it more often to combat winter gloom! (and of course Angie's K2K rating for it makes me triple happy )
parkmommychic, this silver tote is from Danier, Canadian leather store. I bought it in summer and I don't see them on the website anymore.
Diana, thank you. Actually this is what I am drawn to stylewise - simple, bold and strong - so it is a nice confirmation I am on the right track!

1-Lovely soft outfit here, I really like the all white look.
2-Great eye by Anna on the light blue, it will be very pretty on you.
4-I have mostly stayed away from scarves this season so far, yet last year it was all I wore. I guess I just needed a break from them.
6-Another soft all white look, just lovely.

Love! You look beautiful. You rock all shades of blue. I really like the dresses.

What a great dress collection! You look amazing in all of these dresses. I also love the yellow and white in #5.

Well, I am eating my lunch at work right now but I just had to put it down to log in and say YOU LOOK FANTASTIC! #5 just blows me away it is so gorgeous. I also love the white/black dress with the black tights, and I didn't think I would. If my week was half as well-dressed as yours, I'd be happy!

All beautiful outfits Sveta but #5 is like WOW! Very nice colors and patterns on you.

I just love the proportions in #5. I agree, that sweater is fab with the cream jeans--something about the balance in the shoulder line.
And the light blue also--brings out the cool in your coloring--perhaps it works more with nearby dark colors like navy or black, as the dress combo has.

2 & 5 are my favs!
I am glad to hear you have been enjoying your scarves again Sveta- agree that they add that little bit extra when you need it.

I think that's an excellent idea, Sveta:-)

Might I suggest that you look out for J.Crew jumpers in either "light sky" or "hthr hydrangea", I think those two shades could really work for you.

These all look great!

But wait a second....I have to ask, since no one else did. Is your Christmas tree still up?! Hehe! My husband makes fun of me for taking ours down like 2 days after Christmas. This year I managed to keep it up until Jan 3rd I think, only because DS was begging me to. I wouldn't be able to wait until the end of January! LOL!

Thank you!
Raisin, our Christmas tree came down last Sunday, Jan 19 This is an old tradition because Russian Christmas is on January 7 and then we also have "Old New Year" on Jan 14: we usually keep the tree until then. Very long holiday season indeed!

Gorgeous! I love #1,#4 and #6 and really all of the rest too.

Missed this before, just want to say these are all great outfits & your style is fantastic.

You personify elegance in every photo, Sveta, and it's hard for me to pick a favorite from this group.

I adore you in yellow and winter white with the scarf from Paris, so this may be in first position, but is being nudged by all of your dresses, because they are stunning, no matter if they are blue or winter white. You really know how to pick them; I love the lines of them as they flatter your great figure.
