I even have started wearing navy which I used to avoid, I'm not sure if this was because my Mum had so much navy in her wardrobe!

It's not that I don't like other clothes, it's just they're so practical. I hate it when I see women constantly pulling down skirts that are way too short or tottering about in tiny heels barely able to walk. I always think it's funny how little we seem to have moved on from the constraints clothing placed on women in the past. For corsets and hooped skirts see tiny, tight dresses and high heels. Like you I love greens and blues. I have a pale complexion so struggle to wear stronger colours and black makes me look unwell. ;) I bought a plum coloured coat last winter which I love and it's inspired me to knit a scarf or shawl to match it. xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-33004551904912556532015-08-28T15:54:08.197+01:002015-08-28T15:54:08.197+01:00Blue and Greys are good.

No, I'm very happy in all the tones of a British beach - greys, denim, charcoal, sand, with hints of seaweed (muted burgundy, soft beige, warm russets) to provide a bit of variety. And, of course, the comfier the better!

My wardrobe is pretty boring with lots of neutral shades because I think I can always jazz an outfit up with colourful accessories which I actually never do! The only colour I won't purposely wear is orange. The dress I'm wearing in my latest post is pretty much as colourful as I get and that is mostly navy with a few pops of colour.

It is interesting how our colour choices change throughout our lives. I'm sure I wore brighter colours when I was younger. I think you look effortlessly cool in your coat with your wonderful curly hair. The look is very 1979s, which of course is very now.

For a long time too I was a black and gray bunny. But lately I noticed that I have a lot of fun and bright pieces way more comfortable now with prints and patterns. Usually paired with some black or gray or denim of course. I noticed my girlfriend at work. She has a huge love of stripes. To me stripes is her uniform. elnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09654199835246576704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-43200770350264830212015-08-27T18:55:17.837+01:002015-08-27T18:55:17.837+01:00Yes, you are right, what people wear is fascinatin...Yes, you are right, what people wear is fascinating. I like your muted, natural tones, so much better than a peacock. I also went through a black phase in my twenties - not a Goth-y black, more "chic Italian woman" black - and it coincided with a time when I was very ambitious and high achieving at work. Don't think I can blame the all black clothes for that though.<br /><br />I love the picture of you.

I love it! I wear too much black, but the first step in my fashion recovery is admitting it. Personally, I'd like to buy some clothes for fall with orange and brown and maybe a bit of teal.

For a while now, it's been peach. Not quite orange and not quite pink, it seems like a nice compromise. I'll go in waves when I really care about what I wear and then not so much. Last night we met my parents for dinner and I would usually try to look a little put together, but I was feeling so huge and didn't care much:) So I threw on one of Wade's t-shirts:) Comfort is key. I love the blues and greens on you! So calming and fresh. Also, that picture of you is just lovely! Such a beautiful coat, too!

I do love anything from pink to yellow to orange and red. But I really like any colour apart from beige (which I think is a grandfather colour) and maybe military fatigue kaki. Work is casual thankfully, no vast expanses of gloom at our work meetings. Your coat is super cool, wish I had one just like it.
