    I'm loving all the dress combinations. A plain dress works so well with accessories

    Beautiful combinations! This post was immensely helpful as my wardrobe is predominately brown. Recently, however, I did purchase a white linen A-line skirt, but am not sure what tops and accessories I should choose. Perhaps as the weather becomes warmer you will offer some compositions with a similar item as a base. I hope so. Thanks again for a continually enjoyable and informative blog.

    I think the brown is my favorite. It transitions effortlessly between each color combination.

    I think this series confirms it: red goes with EVERYTHING.

    Loving your series on dress combinations. I really appreciate that you recycle several of accessories to maximize usage. I have so many ideas now to use some of my "boring" dress that were just hanging in the closet!

    Oh I adore these combinations…I could see myself in brown now.
    Have you ever considered approaching a magazine with these variations? You've got immense talent!

    I was just flipping through a local newspaper and saw an ad that read "If you're grateful and you know it, say Thank You".

    So…Thank You!!

    My favs have been the black and navy, and since I've been feeling for a few years that black near my face is less flattering than it was when I was younger, I think I've just learned that I should try a gradual move towards navy! Need comfy shoes though…all mine are black.

    Now…have you ever done something based on figure type? I was thinking how great the combos always look, but that didn't guarantee they'd actually look good on me. Just one more challenge for you to tackle!

    I love that zigzag Anne Klein sweater. Does anyone know if it is still available, and where? I've been Googling for it unsuccessfully. Margaret
