Hello Ladies,

Do you change your clothes, shoes, purse, make up per season? Not saying you run out and buy new but do you have certain colors for certain seasons such as...........  
Do you wear browns, orange, rust, mustard, maroon, in fall?
Reds, greens, black & white in the winter?
Pinks, light blues, yellows, peach, liliac in the spring? 
Hot bright bold colors in summer?
Do you not wear white shoes or carry a white purse after Labor day? 

I admit I've been stuck in this rut for quite a while. I cant bring myself to wear a liliac sweater & white shoes in December, people will probably look at me like I just escaped the nutty bin!!!
I'd like to hear what you do!

Pam

Laughing a little as my wardrobe in summer is blue jeans and miscellaneous logo tee-shirts of varying colors.

In winter, it is blue jeans and miscellaneous logo sweat shirts of varying colors, although I admit there are more deep blue and red ones than any other colors.

My shoes, year round, when I wear them, are white walking shoes, currently Adidas, but I just bought some New Balance ones. My ONLY dress shoes at present are a pair of black flats which I wear year-round as needed.

My daily purse, year round, is an expandable (see the zipper) navy blue Tommy Hilfiger ripstop nylon number (which replaced my Eddie Bauer bum bag when the strap broke and couldn't be repaired and I couldn't find a new bum bag here in NW Ohio --- I was on home leave from Saudi at the time). Here's my Hilfiger bag:

When I travel, my bag used to be a large black British school-child's bookbag which I bought on King Street in London. It was huge and can carry just about ANYTHING, inlcuding the Hilfiger, fully loaded!!! When the handles broke (I'm hard on handles, I guess), I found this near-equivalent here in the States:

although I did buy a Pendelton blanket equivalent April 2008 in Oregon:

So I guess I don't follow fashion rules that much!
