For me lately it has been less about an item of clothing and more of a color: brown! Despite the fact that i have a LOT of black, white and gray clothing that i really really like and looks good on me (i think!), I have been very attracted to browns, tans and creams. i have about twelve pairs of slacks in that color range, many turtlenecks, sweaters, and a vintage brown corduroy jacket piped in brown velvet (with a pleated back). It all just feels cozy and warm and safe and I guess I am looking for that right now. We are packing for a three day trip to California that could turn into ten days or even two weeks. We are each taking three bottoms and three tops, a sweater, two shoes and a light jacket along with underclothes and eletronics. One carryon each… mine will be filled with brown ❤️

If this is still relevant, I just wanted to chime in and say that I'm delighted with your choice of dress – that color is absolutely beautiful! As for the necklace, I totally agree it's superfluous here, and those dangly earrings could be a perfect complement. The first option would be amazing for your image! I share your passion for jewelry, and I always find a reason to treat myself to a new piece. Speaking of which, I recently got a stunning Name Necklace Official, and I'm absolutely delighted with it. It's such a unique and exclusive item and it pairs perfectly with my favorite dress, which is definitely a plus!

I love Swiss dot, too. Every year I had a dress up summer dress in that fabric when I was a child. I remember the seamstress always measured me against her pattern pieces, the same lady made my dresses all during my early school years. I don’t think I have seen Swiss dot since my daughter was a flower girl in my cousin’s wedding 32 years ago! edited to add… back in the day we called it dotted Swiss 🙂

So now they're calling classic style "quiet luxury?" Sorry lady, but you'e describing classic which is all I wear, even if I have tennis shoes on. I had to look up girl core and found soft core fashion. Very pretty. Tired of looking at tight mini skirts and dresses that are so short no one wants to bend over. That's one trend I hope is on the way out. Whew! Glad Ollie brought her age up first because I was getting ready to comment especially on her closeup from the video. Gray hair is pretty but it ages her 20 years, along with the brows. I'd never take advice from her.
