Covered Perfectly Final Offerings

Hi Susan. I hope you are well. It might amuse you to hear that I’ve spent a very happy afternoon “shopping my closet” and building outfits starting with just black jeans (casual) or trousers (dressy) and a black scoop neck long-sleeved top. I discovered your website a couple of weeks ago and have been an avid reader ever since, catching up on the back catalogue of posts. I have learned so much! I was inspired to go out and comb the local charity/thrift shops (where I like to shop for environmental and financial reasons) for classic items you’ve suggested that I could see would go with my existing wardrobe. Sadly, the UK has now gone into a second lockdown for a month, so I thought I would challenge myself to see how many outfits I could make based on those black basics and items I already own. Just adding grey, red and cream pieces, I easily made 10 very different outfits in less than an hour! I’m completely sure I could have made more. As you suggested, I took photos of each (without my head! Especially as my hair is not in the best shape at the moment) and am keeping them in a file on my PC to refer to for inspiration. Is there any way I could send the photos to you? They would make you feel very proud. I love animal prints and indeed had a couple of scarves in them, but never wore them because they are brown/tan and I am a cool bright like you, but I managed to incorporate even those into the outfits. So exciting! I know now that I can do exactly the same based on different coloured basics underneath in navy, grey or white. Never mind the alternative of making dark/light/bright combos. You are an extremely generous genius – thank you so much for giving me a great project that will last me through lockdown and beyond.
