My Mom always joked about her "gypsy" clothes...she loved bright colors, and so do I! Sometimes hard to find 'em, though...
I like hot pink and bright turquoise, especially. And royal blue with bright colored flowers, which is what the dress is that I wore to her funeral. I love the colors.
I think that's great! Grama was the one who always got me bright colored clothes when I was growing up. Mama used to always say I looked like white trash when I came back from Grama's. My mom is one of those people that always gets comments of how "elegant" she looks. But, I just get so bored with all those muted colors! I guess "elegance" on her level is out of my reach, but I think I look rather good in those "white trash" bright colors! LOL (and I don't care what she thinks!)
OTOH my mom did teach me to dress for *any* occasion whatsoever and I can still pull off her "look" if it's appropriate, much to the shock of some folks. :-)
