My wardrobe is kind of boring though, but I am builiding it up from the bottom and I love it more and more for everyday! I think I found my way!

Yay Ditte, it's so cool to see the exchange here.
Flowerchild: LOVE Your new stuff! The shoes are so nice.

With a little help from Ditte I was able to pick up the sweaters my wardrobe was sorely missing:

This sweater but in black. I think it looks sooo much better in black, but I can't find a picture of it anywhere.
