Perhaps that's why I don't own a trench. I have a terrific pair of ballet flats I bought a couple of years ago at a resale shop. They are fur flats by Ferragamo and are the most comfortable flats I own. Since I have a high arch, most flats don't work except for Birkenstocks which have a high arch and are very comfortable to me.</p> <p>I have many, many pairs of sandals and will probably be adding more after the weekend shopping trip.</p> I think you have the right idea in exercising your own fashion judgement.

I have many, many pairs of sandals and will probably be adding more after the weekend shopping trip.

But Alison has a cute one; she loves it. I have a couple of cute spring jackets that work - one is belted for a classy look. Not a big fan of the shirt dress (because of my aversion of buttons, which is a story for another time), but I do love a shift and, naturally, the little black dress.</p> <p>Not a big fan of dark jeans (if I'm going to dress up, then I don't wear jeans). I rarely change my purse - I know, boring, but it's a matter of practicality. Nor do I have ballet flats - they feel too juvenile to me (my daughters have them). I love boots, but my big passion is sandals - when you can wear them 10 months a year, you need several pair.</p> <p>But I am always, always up for new jewelry. I need to increase my bracelet collection.</p> <p>So, Tim Gunn, thanks for the suggestions.
