Don't give up on your dream! <br /><br />Thank you so much for your very kind and thoughtful comments. I am so happy to have you here! I am not very familiar with Belltown, to tell you the truth. We don't eat out a lot in Seattle, we just happened to be in the area and happened to park right in front of that Mexican place. It was fun!<br /><br />I wonder if my approach is more thoughtful or more just intuitive? I can't say that I really think about my outfits a lot. Sometimes an idea strikes me, and I just go for it. But I don't spend a lot of time in front of the mirror trying different combinations. I am pretty spontaneous. :) Natalia Lialinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552652475347261756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-79448538522154969252014-03-27T11:00:30.079-07:002014-03-27T11:00:30.079-07:00I love a tunic, and I especially love a purple one...I love a tunic, and I especially love a purple one on you! And even more when you pair it some very cute crops. Still more with your brilliantly coordinated patterns ... not matchy-matchy but impressively combined. Thoughtful. I like that styling approach so much. You look amazing.<br />You are making me so homesick. I'd give a lot to move "home" to Seattle, but it isn't going to happen. QA is old stomping grounds for me and my huz. My mother came out for an extended visit and lived in the most adorable apartment on the hill. Sigh. And the food. Is "Mama's Mexican Kitchen" down in Belltown?<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630135395645059302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-66720443116514884402014-03-25T17:06:22.433-07:002014-03-25T17:06:22.433-07:00Oh you should come here, Patti!

These days, I spend probably no more then 5 or 10 minutes. It's nice to hear that the result is still pretty good! :) Hugs!

I hope we will meet in Seattle (or somewhere else) soon! I better start working on it!! :)<br />This color combo is new to me, I am sure it was the very first outfit where I mixed red and purple together. They are both very strong colors, and when I was younger, I was way timid to wear something like it. I experiment a lot these days!
