Re: Do you buy your basics in every color?

I generally start out getting one or two colors.  If I love them enough, then I'll go back & get my other colors.

Re: Do you buy your basics in every color?

I would think that it goes without saying that it's every color I like! 🙄

 

I generally start with one and if I like it go back for more

Yes I do in colors that I like. I do with Flexabelle jeans and capri's since they are a perfect fit for me and I live in them. TeesI  like colors, never black, green, taupe/beige or yellow, never been  good colors on me. Do the same with shoes.

@Trinity11 

Thank you!

as for the height thing I get that frequently and even from people standing in the same room with me! LOL

I hadn't been measured in decades so the last time I was at the doctors I had the nurse take my height, just in case there were some weird growth spurt somewhere along the line that I didn't know about, but no, I'm still 5 foot two 😄

I only buy pretty bright colors; never buy black, white, taupe, gray, olive.  They don't do a thing for an older woman with silver hair.


@Kachina624 I am an older woman with blonde to platinum hair who 75 percent of the time does buy black, white, taupe, gray and a lot of olive!  I have very green green eyes and olive has always been a great color for me.

While I stick with the brands that I like when it comes to jeans and trousers I don't buy the same thing in multiple colors as frequently as I do with tops

I am a black and white girl, so I stick with that.  Works for me very well.

Re: Do you buy your basics in every color?

While I worked, I bought basic tops and pants in multiple colors. Now, the multiples I might buy include one item for me and another for my sister or best friend. I don't need much at all in clothing.

Re: Do you buy your basics in every color?

Yes.  And, if it's tee shirts, I'll buy in several colors and 3 in white!

 

When I find shoes that fit, I'll buy in every color they come in and 2 in black (oh, you didn't ask that)
