I am really enjoying fashion and having fun with clothes and accessories at this age of my life. For me it is part of creative expression and I am really having fun with it. I think I missed out on this phase when I was in high school and am making up for it now. I also use allot of color and love mixing interesting color combinations and texture. I will sometimes match my shoes to my earrings and necklace for fun. Of course it helps that I design and make jewelry so I have a variety to choose from:) I think you can have basics from anywhere in your clothes and zazz it up with a great handbag,shoes,belt,jewelry etc. Accessories can make the whole outfit. I am a great bargain hunter.....one way I get great wardrobe basics is the sale section of L.L.Bean and get their L.L.Bean credit card......I only use their card for them and I get free shipping and free monograming,so between the sale price and free shipping you get great deals!
