Seeking Simplicity: Fashion

The seasons have finally shifted from cold to warm (soon to be hot), so in bringing out the warm weather clothes, I did a bit of evaluating my dress style.  Thinking back, I realize that my style of fashion has generally been rather odd.  In high school, while all the other girls were wearing mini-skirts, I was wearing skirts to my ankles.  It took me a long time to embrace capris.  Platform shoes? No thanks.

As I have gotten older, though, my style has settled down into what I will call classic comfort. While I have firm admiration for a well put together outfit, it is not something I want to spend time on myself. Just give me a few basics in a few colors, and I am good.

So, what do I like to wear for the warm season?  

At home: yoga capris, t-shirts, and bare feet.  

Casual:  Capris or light weight pants, knit shirts, sandals (one pair of black and one pair of brown), and a light weight cardigan to fend off the air conditioning. (I do love cardigans!)

Dress:  Nice skirt or pants, nice knit top, nice sandals (two pair again-see above), and a shawl.  (Love those shawls, too!)

Accessories:  Earrings and necklaces that complement each other, but don't match exactly.  One small cross body purse and a tote.  Now I do find that totes call to me, but I try to resist their allure.  

My youngest majored in fashion design and really knows how to put together a nice outfit--classy, but up to date.  Hmmm, if she got that from my side at all, that gene must have skipped me.  

Keeping it simple…..
