weeks 32 and 33 archive looks: some other brown clothing

this is the first time this spring/summer that i have dipped (i just love saying this) into my rundholz dip archives. these are two pieces from rundholz dip 120 -- the only other spring/summer rundholz dip collection that i have in a brown colour palette (assuming amber is a brown colour palette). these two pieces are two of my favourite types of clothing -- an overall/coverall/jumpsuit and a dress.

weeks 31 and 32 new looks: adopting multiple colour palettes

amber was my chosen colour palette for rundholz dip 126. i tried to get all the pieces that i coveted in that colour palette. with some pieces, i was not able to do that, for a variety of reasons, including that they did not come in that colour palette, the pieces sold out completely in that colour palette and the pieces were no longer available in my size in that colour palette. so i opted to get them in the linen colour palette. to date, having two colour palettes per season was really an afterthought based on circumstances. i did not go into a season thinking i would have two colour palettes and what they would be. i picked one colour palette for the season before the buying began. a second colour palette was selected during the buying phase for the express purpose of allowing me to buy coveted pieces unavailable to me in the first colour palette. picking that second colour palette "on the spot" (so to speak) has not always been easy. so based on my experience this season (and i think the immediately preceding season), looking ahead to buying for the upcoming fall/winter season, i am definitely thinking ahead of the buying experience of what my two colour palettes for the season will be.

weeks 29 and 30 new looks: what is harder for me?

lately, i have been thinking about whether the style that i have now settled into makes it more difficult for me to get dressed. for some, it may be more difficult to put together an outfit of multiple layers, more so if the layers are of different colours or prints or textures. for me, i think it is more difficult to be minimalist and monochromatic. if i put on just one piece of clothing, say a dress, the silhouette of the dress, how it falls on my body, the features of the dress, all these things are so much more visible to me and it feels like i have less to play with to satisfy myself of my look. the same holds true if i put on two or three pieces of clothing all of the same colour (and more so if they are of the same fabric). if there is less for my eye to look at, there seems to be more pressure to make sure that the only thing the eye can look at really pleases me.
