I am definitely getting braver (like one has to be "brave" about clothes...) about mixing/clashing colours and prints as I was brought up with all the rules about pattern-with-plain and so-called complimentary colours. I still have a slight tendency to the matchy-match, but I'm working on it!<br />I'm going to experiment with the high-waist belt idea, but I'm a bit big in the boob department, so I'm not sure how it'll look. Can but try!Curtisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362184504889147455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859347726001714274.post-1033148117183785512012-02-18T00:10:40.047-08:002012-02-18T00:10:40.047-08:00Thanks!

I think we learn the rules as girls by osmosis. I'm seeing Prada designs this spring with black lace over fabric that I'm sure are breaking rules, and Gucci clothes like wallpaper - it's a free-for-all. Yippee! (But I like hunting down my clothes, not catching them in a zoo.) I must nip out for a peek at Paula. Thanks. You also introduced me to sweet Bella.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06218727738029858422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859347726001714274.post-53387274666715182722012-02-16T19:53:39.752-08:002012-02-16T19:53:39.752-08:00Oh, I needed to meet you months ago.

You also make me think I wasn't crazy for learning the rule against pink & orange, or pink & red. I thought for days about where I'd come up with that. I think you might be of a similar mindset to Paula at Fashion over Fifty, if the two of you haven't met yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859347726001714274.post-83430679972939605842012-02-16T13:04:11.566-08:002012-02-16T13:04:11.566-08:00I am not surprised that you liked photographing ot...I am not surprised that you liked photographing others too. A passion is a passion. I'd say that about 15% of people say no no! Was it like that in Montreal? People I stop often say I should go to Montreal; of all cities in Canada, that is the only other place I would live. Your comments are incredibly humbling because you inspired me to blog in the first place! And your outfits continue to inspire - merci, merci, mon ami! I am happy for your magazine coverage!!!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06218727738029858422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859347726001714274.post-88926775384863649862012-02-16T06:12:40.949-08:002012-02-16T06:12:40.949-08:00Hi Mélanie!

It's bewildering, like, are you on a basketball court, a squash court? Clearly I'm not a sports gal. I really, really love the positioning of the belt, as it pulls it all together for me. There's also an element in this outfit that makes me think of the steppes of Mongolia (if they have steppes there). I like it.Jean at www.drossintogold.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01089424590056521268noreply@blogger.com
