Age/Style Question

You mention colors --
LL Bean is still tossing out all sorts of pastels and weak colors in their women's clothes. I'm a redhead with green eyes and would wear dark greens, golds, browns, oranges, purples and such all year round if I could find them!

I think of pastels as pink for some reason, and I hate the color pink. I don't fortunately see much pink in their catologues and I generally wear the following colors:

white, black, grey, blue, beige. On an odd day I might wear dark green, maroon, or brown.

One thing I like about LL Bean is that they have a lot of solids. I don't like stripes, paisleys, stitched stuff, flowers, tie die, or anything else that seems uselessly adorning. Putting this into words, I must sound like a really boring dresser, and I'm only 34.

But the truth is 90 percent of the time for work I am wearing their jeans (as dark blue as possible, I save faded ones for at home), black socks and shoes, and a solid shirt and/or fleece or sweater in one of the above colors. I want clothes that I don't have to think about, and these are what work for me...

When its free time, I wear synthetic clothes more appropriate to hiking or something outdoors because that is what I try to do with most of my free time. Zip off pants, and a mesh type shirt are perennial faves.

Now all that said, my favorite color for a cycling jersey? YELLOW! Preferably with some cool graphics to look at too!
