There are probably many more women who wear their clothes for years and years than those who change their wardrobe every season.

I get the feeling of new clothes when I forget about my old clothes for a while too. :) Just recently, I've discovered a box with my denim stuff (which I wear very seldomly)... I forgot about some completely! <br /><br />As far as gardens go, they all are good! Yours is admirable and I love it! But I have to say people who planted this one, made something really special, and I thank them for this beauty every single Spring, and throughout the year too.

The way your daughter layered the necklaces looks very chic. Your garden is so beautiful...so many lovely flowers! An abundance of colours. Gardens are such a special place, I was just reading about how we should enjoy them as much as we can. <br /><br />Your outfit is fabulous. I love the combo of turtleneck and maxi skirt. The umbrella is such a great accessory as well. The shoes are so cute and colourful. You know me, I simply adore colours. When it comes to mixing old and new, I'm all in. I always get emotionally attached to some pieces, so I end up wearing them very often.Ivana Splithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908566377732204399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-33506200405974527272018-06-14T19:12:27.184-07:002018-06-14T19:12:27.184-07:00The painting of the two Natashas is so amazing and...The painting of the two Natashas is so amazing and your garden is absolutely gorgeous.Becky https://www.blogger.com/profile/02234081494939675926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-12558433742083402602018-06-12T13:47:58.857-07:002018-06-12T13:47:58.857-07:00The acrylic painting is just gorgeous, what a love...The acrylic painting is just gorgeous, what a lovely gift.

They grow in abundance in our garden. <br />There's little to compare with the joy of having a wardrobe made up of mostly old things. I get great pleasure from trying on summer dresses I'd had for over a decade and falling in love with them all over again.Vixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-35858247807319325792018-06-12T00:20:20.920-07:002018-06-12T00:20:20.920-07:00I do like Ivanas painting of you , such a special ...I do like Ivanas painting of you , such a special gift. Your garden in its Spring glory must be quite a sight. I do indeed like it when you show items from your wardrobe that you have shown before .To me the ability to ring the changes with existing items shows more style and imagination than constantly showing brand new items. Building a base of items you love and wearing them in different ways is really what most of us do on a day to day basis. The fact that the skirt is a classic shape and in always right orange is a bonus.

How utterly fantastic to have received such a gift! I love the diversity in colour of the Rhododendrons, and then the dash of yellow provided by the Welsh poppies! Your outfit is fabulous, too. That skirt is truly amazing, and I love how you paired it with the striped poloneck and leather jacket. And what a sweet brolly! It's been so close and humid here, I'm longing for some freshness and yes ... rain. Oh, and being able to come up with new combinations involving the clothes already in your wardrobe is the mark of a true fashionista, one who defies fast fashion and strives for quality!
