Thank you for your reply! Actually today is my birthday - which is why I am finally taking the time to get away from my work and catch up on my hobby!
I am really giving this a lot of thought because it will be a big purchase. I am vascillating between a neutral that I can grab every day as I rush out of the house to go to work, wear with jeans, etc., or a stunningly bright burst of color that will make me super happy and brighten up my neutral wardrobe. I am blonde and feel I look best in aubergine, pink, black and brown. I know I look awful in yellow and orange, and I never enjoy wearing blues except teal, or greens except lime. I usually have more fun wearing modern patterns than more traditional ones. For example, I love my 90 Galop Chromatique. I love my 90 Tohu Bohu. Everyone I work with is in their 20's so I am influenced by their fun young style. I prefer to lean towards that rather than preppy. The GMs are so big, and I don't really want to have a huge object, like a leaf or horse-eye, on me. Prefer no images of animals or sports equipment, no logos, no consumer goods. Any suggestions?
