At the end of last year I bought a lovely brown jumper but in the shop they said I should buy the red, I do not know why but I struggle with red, especially on the top half, so I applaud you and long may you continue to rock the red!indigo16https://www.blogger.com/profile/16982477144454205765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-40803201349056348642008-02-10T12:54:00.000-08:002008-02-10T12:54:00.000-08:00Our daughters really do seem to have the style thi...Our daughters really do seem to have the style thing down pat, don't they?

I've readded your site to my "Other Great Sites" listings. <BR/>Not a lot of winter flowering or fragrance until the Hamamelis flowers, and that won't be for a while yet. We're still in snow here--some parts of the province will soon be seeing snowdrops and their hamamelis will flower sooner, but we've a long way to go on the western side of the province.

Cafe Mode was talking about her new Weston loafers last week -- they definitely don't come in red!<BR/>Deja: I really like that idea -- if we only do what we know we can do well, we've got to be limiting our growth. Thomas underlines that idea with his "Being wrong as an imperative" comment above.<BR/>Bronwen: I'd completely forgotten about those when writing the post, altho' I think they're still in my drawer upstairs. Don't you think I should try to resist that challenge? Or should I wear them next time Dad & I meet you at Lolita's on a Friday night?! That might qualify as the imperative Thom is talking about.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-22935378921842477052008-02-09T16:21:00.000-08:002008-02-09T16:21:00.000-08:00didn't I get you some hot pink fishnets a few year...didn't I get you some hot pink fishnets a few years ago??

One of ideas they've quoted that's become one of my favorites is about giving yourself permission to do something badly. There's a kind of stultifying sameness that comes from *always* sticking to what we know works for us, so I applaud your courage in taking chances and not sticking to a style formula.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I love the red shoes and tights together!Susan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16005855250089328310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-22799975420451339862008-02-08T14:57:00.000-08:002008-02-08T14:57:00.000-08:00Of the many things I could say, I choose only this...Of the many things I could say, I choose only this - I want a pair of red loafers.<BR/><BR/>Ok, and this - one must be wrong, and wrong again and again.
