    It is interesting how you represent an entirely neutral look, you incorporate a pastel look, you have a "bright" look you have work looks and you have casual looks. You are educating us … but in such en entertaining way. Susan in WA

    I really love this subtle and subdued palette. In a world of very brights, this shimmers like pearls. You always know how to take pastels and make them sophisticated, not sugary. Thanks once again.

    A few months back you actually used a few paintings to build collections/options around..I can see now how using just one piece like this lovely scarf allows you to build a skillfully crafted wardrobe of pieces that complement each other, builds off something you love and have invested in (Hermes) and suits a wide range of functions-from fun to elegant and even a playful mix. It does feel more like "design" than I realized. And suddenly (banging head with palm of hand)"story boards" make such sense! If you wouldn't pull together a hodgepodge in your living room and expect it to be welcoming and comfortable and last for years and reflect you/family—then why on earth not spend a bit of time to plan your clothes buying/wearing? It really isn't about quantity at all…oh my. I have so much to learn. Thank you again. Dorothy

    Beautiful! This is the pink and grey I've been craving, and working in the peach and beige is perfect! You are amazing.

    A lovely collection, Vivienne – I'm almost tempted to recast my entire wardrobe. It's such a fresh look and an interesting range of colours. How inventive you are!
