Hi Lael. I actually just photographed another winter outfit today wearing a pretty blue. I think you’ll like it. I do tend to wear lots of neutrals in January. But I think brighter wintery colors are really nice. Colors like icy blue, red, bright pink and green.

It’s so good to see you back in the blogging groove. We had a slow Christmas away from family and I missed you and your posts to start my day. Love your gray and camel look. Makes me want to buy some camel. But alas, I’m a complete washout in beiges. Maybe I need to try a little darker camel.
Speaking of colors, I would so appreciate if you would write a post about what colors you like to wear in “the bleak mid-winter.” I love wearing fall colors in the fall, but in South Carolina we can’t layer up too much until November. In December I enjoy wearing bright, Christassy colors a good bit.
But when my January Talbots catalog rolls in it’s usually full of well…camel and gray. Navy, black, and ivory. Softer, lighter shades of blues and pinks. I realize they are moving on, presenting a different palette that looks fresh so they will sell more clothes.
I find myself mixing up the fall pieces layered up that I didn’t get to wear too much, the December brights, blacks and whites, and a few of the softer winter colors I’ve just recently started purchasing the last few years. Just wondering if you think about a particular seasonal palette for Jan-Feb, Or see it as a more eclectic time of year.

In reply to Lois.

That was wonderful, Lois. It blessed me for sure. I struggle with trying to do it myself. Thank you.

After I saw the beautiful outfit on you Kay, I got out my London Fog camel colored coat that my daughter bought for me at a 2nd hand store. It comes with a scarf of black, red, cream and camel plaid. Since a can’t wear grey around my face I used a red sweater and black pants ( I tried my light grey pants and it didn’t work) to complete the outfit. Now I have something else I can wear! Thanks!
