    Clothing color combinations

    PS, the theory is that certain colors look best with certain skin tones and hair and eye colors. (They can be worn during any time of the year.) See pages 7 and 8 of this thread. There is one post that shows women of various seasons. There is also a post with some good color swatches for summers...

    Where & What Will You Be Doing On 12/21/2012?

    I'll be shopping for a new calendar.

    I'm sorry. :( I wish there were something I could say to make you feel better.

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    The ability to respond to "hi" like you are in the land of the living is good, though.

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    I've watched too many episodes of Judge Judy for that.

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    So that's what my problem is: my expectations, which I thought were sufficiently low, are still too high.

    Clothing color combinations

    PS, I think you are a summer. I'm pretty sure there are some summer palattes posted in this thread. The white, red, and aqua clothes all look good on you. I'm not sure if black would make you look washed out, but with your light hair and eyes, it might work. (I don't think black looks good with...

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    I don't like "How's it going" or "What's happening" instead of "Hello" or "Hi." I start thinking about how it is going or what is happening instead of just saying hi back.

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    On a dating website, almost all my matches said, "I think outside the box." They all lived very conventional lives (corporate job, house in the suburbs, enjoyed reading and hiking, and of course "[took] time out to smell the roses"). Am I that bland, too? :eek:

    Aging

    I've noticed a lot of women here go for a more elegant, timeless look around age 37. I did. I stopped wearing the miniskirts while I still had the legs for them; if I'd had ruffly clothes, I'd have given them to Goodwill. The clothes still fit, but they didn't represent me anymore. I didn't get...

    Vintage Home Appliances Money Out The Window?

    Me, too! My yard is mostly flowers and bushes; there's a little buffalo grass in the back yard. It's a hybridized native prairie grass that doesn't depend on the sprinkler much, and doesn't need to be mowed, fertilized or aerated. The plants in the front yard get an annual haircut with an...

    Vintage Home Appliances Money Out The Window?

    You could spin the clothes twice. I don't know if that's more efficient than a longer drying time.

    Vintage Home Appliances Money Out The Window?

    A few years ago, a magazine featured a vacation house built to be energy efficient. Wouldn't it be more efficient to stay at a hotel or rent a house that's already there? When I buy appliances, up-front cost is another factor--much more so than a vintage look. If I needed one tomorrow, I'd go...

    Vintage Home Appliances Money Out The Window?

    It's not exactly an appliance, but I like my pressure cooker, which cuts cooking time in half or more. Someday I'll get around to making a solar oven, which doesn't require any energy at all to use. Long, long ago, I had a small refrigerator that had to be defrosted now and then. I used the...

    Clothing color combinations

    I'm pale and I've always gotten compliments when I wear white. I think it makes me look like I have some color. Before making a judgment about the dress, let's see some color photos of you wearing various colors.

    Cardigans, cardigans, cardigans!

    It depends on how the cardigan fits. Close-fitting: a well-made t-shirt is about the only thing that works for me (I never got the camisole bug). Tailored cardigans: the t-shirts or a fairly close-fitting sweater or blouse. I have a couple of loose-fitting blouses and a vintage inspired...
