Love this! I recently read this post (http://joannagoddard.blogspot.com/2009/01/how-to-dress-like-french-woman.html)via simple lovely (http://simplelovely.blogspot.com/)and realized that I really want to develop a style. A simple, straight forward style, not just a hodge podge of stuff in my closet. I'm excited to read more. Thanks for the comments!
This is a brilliant list! Or as Coco Chanel said "fashion fades, style is eternal"
