LOVE this. I particularly love the idea you have carried forward about finding the inspiration in a painting. I've been experimenting with coordinating greens or browns. It really helps! Thank you! Susan
Timely post! I had to laugh because I was outside a store dressing room waiting on my SIL when I clicked on your blog yesterday. We had just been discussing wearing different blues, so apparently you were reading our minds before we knew what we were thinking!
Janice, I've long thought that all blues go well together. I saw this concept many times on a colleague, who combined turquoise, navy, denim, etc. to beautiful effect. But your use of dark navy and cobalt is is a new spin.
Thank you,thank you,thank you !!! Blue is my best colour (even though red is my favourite ;-] ) and I am soooo inspired by these groupings. I'm even going to print these off for my Wish Wall.
This is so beautiful! Can you do other color with color wardrobes? Purples, reds?
Love all the colors – my favorites! Enjoy your blog. Loved your blogs for your Paris trip. Mary Wyatt
Ah, but I want that painting as my scarf to tie all these lovely blues together! Nan
That was my first thought too!
Check out the museum catalogs! I think I saw scarves with at least a similar palette in either the Met or Art Institute of Chicago catalogues.
I love when you do this! The teals in particular look great.
Beautiful color palette…I love it.
