Well this might sound odd, but i figured life is too short to compromise, and since I loathe current trends and have done for a while, I decided to try to opt out.
I love old stuff, Edwardian, 1920's looks, and a sort of sleek bohemian silhouette. I don't want anything uncomfy or frilly or complicated, but I hate synthetics and can never find anything i want anywhere, no matter the budget.
So this summer, I am going to have a few of my cotton and linen edwardian nighties altered to work as summer dresses. Paired with maybe a floaty gown or fine knit cotton cardi, or a lovely woven belt. Probably wear with brown sandals or lace up ankle boots. It doesn't look at all odd or old fashioned when done, as floaty linen stuff is current enough to adapt it to.
I have also cut down a massive amount, so have ery few clothes now, but those that I do have - I love.
The past 2 years taught me that I am not at all interested in trends or being immaculately current. I am not interested in looking wealthy or wacky or making a statement. I just want to wear what i always dreamed of, and make it work for me in the current era!
Through winter I have just cycled through some old cashmere, wool skirts and some baggy jeans with my long wool coats, flapping around like Withnail 
I don't work for an employer so can easily let my mind go a bit free here, to a point. I am utterly done with anything fitted, figure flattering or remotely conservative. I just can't stand 'dressy' although i adore dresses themselves. They just have to be an extension of my personality and effortlessly easy. I am difficult to please!
