1. The fashion video was gorgeous, and much of it I would describe as Scandi chic. Unfortunately, so many outfits featured turtlenecks, a style I love but can’t wear. I was surprised to see so few necklaces, even when I thought the outfit really called for one. Most of all, I loved the all the cognac/luggage tan leather footwear and bags, and am slowly building my own collection of those. I wore an outfit similar to the straight leg jeans, loafers, and crew neck textured sweater just the other day. And the video really showed the power of a solid color, contrasting scarf.

2. Great detail, Linda! Thanks for sharing!

3. Thanks for a collection of soup recipes. I finally have my kitchen back and plan to make soup this weekend. First I need to get the rest of the house sorted out. The house looks so much brighter and inviting now with ivory walls rather than the ones that matched brown paper bags. The video was interesting though I found it somewhat unfocused as it also showed a lot young models, runway looks, and even men’s fashion. I thought the suggested pairing of neutrals and textures useful. I’m a fan of solid colors so it gave me some ideas I can incorporate into my more casual style. I’ve also parted with my turtlenecks. Love them on others but they do me no favors. I’ve been meaning to mention that last Sunday the choir showed up in coordinated colors. They all wore combinations of dark greens (olive and forest) pairws with various shades of brown from camel to chocolate, and sometimes with white or off white. I really liked the combinations.

4. Very much enjoyed the home tour of Mary Kay Andrew’s Atlanta place. It’s fun that she is unafraid to add in broken and re-glued pieces and mixes high end with garage sale and flee market finds. Though I think that sort of thing works best in a large home, it can still be an element or principle in smaller places.
   Many thanks!

5. I also enjoyed Mary Kay’s home video. I got cut off of it when she was in her dining room. This has happened before on long videos. Not sure why. The fashion video was disappointing to me as most were on head and chest only with a few that show a whole person. Many were very young models and some very handsome young men as well. The clothes were attractive for being only able to see collars, necks and chins. Thanks for the soup recipes. It will soon be that time of year.

6. Love love love Mary Kay Andrew’s and her gorgeous home. The stories of her collections are fascinating. Thanks for both of the videos, always enjoy the fashion ones. Will have to dive into the rest later
