So, I'm going to force myself to concentrate on adding these items to my stash. What about you?
I dont have a lot of tone on tone or solids either. But I don't really feel the need to add them. There are too many shades of colors. I find that I like big prints. And just prints in general :) So when I want a tone on tone to go with it I would rather buy however much I need of exactly the right color. With my like I would buy 10 shades of green and when I went to make something from my stash, I still wouldn't have the right shade of green. For me it works to just buy them as I go.
