I was going to talk about the patterns I want to use for the core of this new wardrobe collection, but I'm still working on those. Instead, let's talk accessories.
A couple of weeks ago, Nancy Nix-Rice sent out a newsletter focusing on linking accessories. I liked the idea so I promptly emailed her to ask if she had anything that would work for my wardrobe. We exchanged a few emails and a few days later, I had three new scarves and a new necklace.
I really like the concept, especially because I generally prefer to wear solid-colored garments. Scarves and jewelry that incorporate several of these colors tie the outfit together into a cohesive whole. The beauty of these accessories is that they contain multiple shades of the colors, adding depth and eliminating the need for an exact match.
Here's how I wore one of the scarves the very next day:
I am looking forward to having the new wardrobe sewn up and hanging in the closet, ready to wear at a moment's notice. The semester is almost over; I have finished all the writing and there is only one more exam to take. Then I can sew. Yay!

Jéj, farebná Alex! =)
Very pretty colors!
Accessories really do make the difference. I'm like you don't really want to wear the colours of the rainbow as a garment, so scarfs etc. are the way to go. Really beautiful colours you've chosen. I'm 'so' getting my colours done now!!
I think accessories are key. I love scarves, shoes, SHOES, did I say shoes? and good silver jewellery.
