Thanks Laurie! Yes, metallic sandals seem to go with everything and make outfits somehow better than going with matchy neutrals which I tend to do. I got the Kelly sandals before she posted about them but love them and happy to think of them as "Kelly sandals".
Thanks Angie! I kept hearing your advice in my head - about being patient etc. Aha - "murky pink" that is exactly right to explain the type of pink I DO like!
Thanks Dee, I am really liking soft blues this year. I've always worn a lot of denim but more darker colors so the softer blue is a newer development.
Joy - I got that white strap so I could have a solid one for my gold bag (it came with a patterned one). The bag itself is vegan and was fairly low in price, and the only time I use it is in summer, so I couldn't see spending much for guitar strap, esp when Amazon has SO many inexpensive ones.
Suz great point about the size of the PomPom bags. They hold more than one might expect as you say. I think they could hold the very tiny water bottles but I haven't tried. I don't tend to use them in deep winter when I always have gloves and a hat to stash and they are a littel too small for that. Yeah the top collection was a real focus for me ... definitly makes a huge difference for summer variety.
Tanks RobinF! I am getting used to lighter colors ... wonder if I'll keep it up as the cooler temps arrive? I think this is the first time ever I've had what I could truly call a working closet!
kkards very interesting comment about the colors. If I make a comosite from what you and otehrs have said, that print is burgundy, dusty pink, and green ... not just "pink".
Star thanks ... the eyelet jacket is one of my faves too. Interesting that you prefer me in darker colors. It's great to have options!
Thanks Style Fan, I do think it's a pretty good collection. Of COURSE you like the olive pant/black outfit - you who are captain (or one of the captains) of team earth tones here on YLF. I'm happy to be a member of that team.
Jaime thanks, and yup, it DOES work!
Thanks Sal! I especially appreciate your comment on my footwear. I can't wear heels, need more-than-normal sole cushioning, can't wear backless shoes, etc .. and often feel I have to "settle" for what's left. Guess I'm doing ok To be honest, for my lifestyle and where I live, the super casual approach works JUST FINE.
