I received a very specific request for a travel plan that was mostly navy, but accented with hot pink, and which wasn’t “stodgy”. This plan built on a “core of four” in navy: pants, skirt, cardigan and tee, and tossed in a navy dress too. A white tee shirt, a bright cardigan, and a couple of whimsical tops negate any possible worries about being too mumsy… Some fun jewelry, and you’re away!

May 4, 2013 at 8:33 pmI think this is a wonderful capsule. I would substitute another navy and hot pink sweater for the sweater with the big heart, but the rest of your picks I love. I plan to send you information about several of my scarves and ask for capsules. You are a wonderful resource and a treasure on the internet. Thank you for ALL of your posts.
