When looking in your closet and chest of drawers, what do you have most of.....

prints or solid colors??? Dress shirts, everyday shirts, blouses, t shirts, dresses......of all the clothing do you own more print patterns or solid colors??? Just curious, I have more prints. For some reason I think prints go better with more outfits.

She also gives me a look back wondering why I'm disturbing her.

reminds me of a cat I had who liked to sleep in my armoire. This is a big, imitation French antique and on the bottom is shelving. I had straw square baskets there, storing sweaters.

One day I reached in for one and didn't look. My hand rested on a warm, breathing cat. It was the weirdest experience, to expect a sweater and get a warm, furry cat. Started purring, too.

Best sweater ever!

is casual, blue is the predominant color followed by black, violet the varied shades of green. The colors are solids, such as beige, black, and of course blue, several pairs of blue jeans.

For spring and summer, I have 2 plaid shirts, one is blue violet, the other is light green, beige, and blue gray, they go well with my beige cropped pants, or jeans. All my clothing has and continues to be well worn and somewhat faded.

Long necklaces & print scarves show up better with solids, in general.

Not all of my tee shirts have bird pictures - the one I bought most recently has a mother sloth and baby - but most have some sort of wildlife theme.

Other than that nearly everything I actually wear is a solid color. I buy prints sometimes, but I just don't like wearing them much.
