I love the first look--heels and all! The others? AWFUL to not-so-much.

@ECBG i think my season has changed. i think i was a winter, very dark hair, very light olive skin. i think my complexion has gotten darker, i wear tan foundation, though it is darker than my actual skin, matches the rest of me (only use spf on my face and neck) and my hair is dyed light ash brown with highlights, which makes it kind of blondish/orangish. My hair is color resistant which is a pain. i used to wear a lot of black and white, browns in all cool shades. Now prefer color, mostly blue and shades in the pink family. Always dark pants. peachy pink has always look good on me. i may not buy the jacket just because i cant really go anywhere and should probably keep my money. Before covid, i had decided to go on a sabbatical from working and I am growing my salt & pepper roots. I have about 3 inches of growth, wearing headbands and ponytails. Hair a lot darker in the bottom, not sure how long I'll try this experiment.

@ECBG I NEVER do a top snap. Any snap would be under the bust. Thanks Lisa Robertson! Miss her and her tips! Just because there is a snap, I don't have to use it. I come from a family of seamstresses and have sewn a little. In college I designed and made some of my clothes. So I make changes to what I buy as appropriate. Wearing the jacket open, but have not had much chance, because of my decision re sabbatical.

@NYCLatinaMe Your season can't change. That's your skin color. Although, the hair changes, you may find softer hues of the same color work better. Even though your hair may gray and grow white, the color of whitw will still be your own shade of white, not a red head's white for example.

@NYCLatinaMe I'm sure you know what I taught. Let me know if you have any questions. Unfortunately, like SO many, I'm stuck at home!

I don't like anything about the first look. The second one isn't bad but I really like the Brooke shields jacket that @NYCLatinaMe picked up! I just wouldn't wear it with the shirt hanging out the bottom

Like everything except the shoes. The high heels !ook silly. Would look much better with a lower heel, maybe a 1.5" chunky heel or a wedge.

I am kind of tired of all the high skinny heels.
