25 things and what they say about my clothing personality
1. I hate red – ok that is extreme – I do not gravitate to it and only have one red top for July 4th – with one exception, red shoes are a must (see No. 6) and I keep trying on red dresses to then put them back on the rack.. Maybe you can change my mimd??
2. I love all things blue, but am seeing some pink start to trickle into my wardrobe.
3. I have a ton of black pants from Theory that I bought probably 10 -20 years ago and can’t seem to get rid of..but probably should.
4. I have, maybe, 2-3 skirts – I really have a problem matching a top to a skirt and got rid of every skirt I wasn’t wearing. The ones I have are just so I can say I own a skirt. I am not wearing any of them.
5. I have a lot of dresses – and not necessarily are they all right for me – but they are the only way for me to get out the door and feel put together.
6. I try to keep all my dresses to go with black shoes or a fun colored or metallic shoe ( I love so many here)
7. I do not buy Brown – Camel Yes – Brown No
8. I have a bohemian side..
9. I wear classic, simple lines..No frills, No ruffles (like this and this)
10. I wear white ribbed Old Navy Tanks under my jackets
11. I only have White, Navy, Grey T-shirts (these short sleeve and these long sleeve)- only 3 have words on them
12. I wear flats because I walk to and from the office (and have a ton of heels underneath my desk but only change into them for meetings)
13. I LOVE colored and embellished high heeled shoes – I wear these at night and to parties. (See No. 6 and below for some of my favorites)
14. I wear mainly solid but love a good print (especially in the Summer)
15. I will buy a party dress to “save” for the next big invitation. Nothing is worse than trying to find a dress for an event and you can’t!
16. Blazers take up a big portion of my closet. My favorite are these from Veronica Beard
17. I have very few sweater.. Hence this post on sweaters..
18. I also have a lot of coats, but in the Winter seem to wear the same one very single day (I have one similar to this one) and still want to buy one of these
19. No turtlenecks… I do not like how they feel on my neck
20. I have a lot of scarves / wraps (the best is this one!) and I never leave home without one because I don’t like being cold around my neck and shoulders (see No.19)
21. I like big chunky necklaces
22. I wear al kinds of earrings, but I stick to mainly small earrings, or large gold hoops for the office.
23. I do not wear bracelets during the day because I am at a computer all day long and do not like the clink/clang of the noise.
24. I have a thing for stripes
25. I like finding vintage dresses.. I gravitate to the ladylike classic and bright fun loving mod styles.

Hello Ridgely,
I LOVE your blog & have suggested it to many friends who also enjoy it!
You might want to check out Dressing Your Truth with Carol Tuttle. You can access online. She has developed a very successful concept of style based on your facial features and personality. It first it might seem a little out there, but it is spot on! I am 59 and have been doing it for 2 years. Both my daughter-in-laws (32 & 27 years) do it. Also, several friends have done it. It is amazing! It simplifies your wardrobe & you feel so comfortable in everything you wear. It might be worth a try!
Hi Shayla – I love the sound of Dressing Your Truth – I will check it out. Sounds like it is really helpful and such an interesting concept! Thank you for following and sharing the blog – I appreciate hearing from you and getting a new concept to try out! xxRidgely
