    Hey, I used this artwork for my Facebook profile pic sometimes! I never thought about basing outfits on it though. Interesting!

    Really, really beautiful and so for the autumn season! Love this post. Good luck with the jet lag — for me it is always about one day for every hour of time difference…seems to get worse before it gets better. Thank you! Susan
