Thank you kristi – I have looked online and yes! Clemence looks lovely in beige
I will search out a nice beige scarf and also she looked great in all black with a beige jacket.

I have been reading about your minimalist clothing challenges and decided to try it out on my recent 5 day trip to Los Angeles and found it to be wonderful. I took a pair of black pants, 1 pair black tights, 1 dress, 1 sweater, and 1 gray tunic top. I also packed 2 scarves and 2 pairs of shoes. I had plenty of room in my luggage to bring back some souveniers and I managed to dress quite nicely on the trip!

Dianne,
If you look at Clemence Poesy, she is a blonde and wears almost all the same colors as I do, but a lot more beige which looks great with her hair. She wears mainly navy, gray, black and beige ….

Beth, I may give that a try. I need warmth!
Phyllis, as spring comes closer, I’m strating to think about those colors again … I do love red!

Renee, I actually have a black and beige bra on under the blouse. It is beige with beige straps and sort of black flowers on it. I did it consciously, on purpose, knowing that it shows. But also, I don’t have an all beige bra right now. It’s on the list!

I don’t know how to ask this. I don’t want to be taken the wrong way. Do you have a black bra on under that white blouse? I am just curious. PS/ You are beautiful and I enjoy your blog.I admire how you do much with less.

I have found that leggings work well with my skirt/boots combos. They are thicker and warmer, and I can wear thinner socks if needed, depending on the boot. I like the long necklace!

I think your wardrobe calls for strategic pops of color. Initially, I thought red, and I still do. Now I’m also thinking a bit of ice blue… maybe a pashmina, necklace, earrings or sweater would be lovely against your paler skin during the winter.

I love this idea of a minimalist wardrobe – in fact after reading your site – I think the best way is to take everything out of my closet and then only put back in the few items that I chose for my new winter wardrobe.
Do you think that these colours will work equally well for a blue eyed blonde – or is there another colour I could add to give a lift to my more sallow complexion.

I like the black with nice touch of silver, but then I’m sure you know I love all black (very dramatic)
