    This is beautiful indeed, and one of the few 'new' colors I can wear. I still have an EF linen cardigan in this shade and I happily wear it nine months out of the year, because it truly looks good with all my neutrals. The Hermes scarf is gorgeous. And I agree, rest and get well.

    Poppy red makes my heart sing and, as a redhead with green eyes and freckles, is one of the few reds I can wear. Off to John Lewis to order that T-shirt now! I love your inclusion of the warm wardrobe. In a retail world where everything is black/grey/navy it switches your work from inspirational to personally relevant.

    I'm hopeful you're feeling better! This has been a nasty virus season.

    I have to say, however, that your illness did not effect your work. Janice, this is the best grouping yet! I especially enjoyed seeing how some if these pieces cut across the Common Wardrobes, making the pieces even a better investment,since they can move between weekend and workplace.

    I am a warm autumn redhead, with hazel eyes and fair skin with gold-not pink-undertones. Can I wear this color? And can you do the Monaco blue with the warm wardrobe sometime?

    Thank you–and get well!

    Really beautiful and vibrant color. I love all of the combinations but the red cardigan and the grey trousers…so simple but breathtaking–is my favorite.

    Alive! I love poppy red too. I was eating at a window table on a bitter winter's day last year and watching the people walk by outside. And I saw black coats. Then I saw more black coats. After that were more black coats with very few exceptions. Well, I was in the market for a new … black coat! Right then and there I decided – no black coat! (And I love black!) This year I walked into a store Labor Day weekend just as the new winter clothes were beginning to trickle in and there was a … poppy red coat! So if you are ever eating at a window seat on a blustery winter's day and see a happy, poppy red coat walk by – it might be me!

    Love you Janice! Linda

    PS Janice, I know you just bought a new black coat but you will never wear it in a dull way – you will always 'happy it up'!

    Every wardrobe needs a jolt of colour and mine is in red. One year a red coat, another year red boots – this year a red cardigan. The colour lifts the spirit on a misty west coast Sunday.
