My taste have changed too. I have been a lover of wearing black since years ago spending 19 years working in cosmetics. But I am now obsessed with wearing white on top. It brightens my face and looks great with gray hair. I also like soft and light muted cool colors to accent black.

I just bought a longer, slightly boxy grey sweater and thought of trying leggings with it. Never tried leggings before.

Your new fashion purchases are lovely. When we renovated our home, we had the original 1890 door stripped back to the original wood – it’s the color of honey. Can’t wait to see yours soon!
