    Oh, all the things! I can see why these are favorites, those jumpsuits are out of this world great. And the red coat - gorgeous with those boots. xo

    I appreciate that your pattern, fabric and footwear choices don't overwhelm YOU. You are my style icon, you know. All the best for the end of this and the next year.

      When looking over these top 5, I thought "is there any commonality here other than I'm wearing them??" hmmm. Inspiring is good.

    I agree with the person who commented earlier that your outfits never overwhelm you, even with multiple layers and vibrant patterns. The jumpsuits are my fave, but the canvas jacket and purple print pants are close seconds.

      Yeah, jumpsuits are new to me and I want to make more. They're lined up and waiting along with everything else. It's more like me that's overwhelmed with things, but not by my clothes on me. If you get my gist.

      I must say RED was my favorite Crayola crayon, Cynthia.

    Wow wow wow. It's all so good! The extreme red coat makes me drool. I'd love to see that worn over the candace pants. Also the first 1617... and the insanely good first African wax... oh,my!
