A second look at this great painting – focusing on the left half of it, and picking up the lovely periwinkle/chambray blue details…
It is interesting that such a drizzly and cold painting lends itself so beautifully to hot-weather clothes.

Looking back:
2013 – We look at a whole bunch of ways to wear One Dress: Six Ways in Black, White and Pink
Yep. Sign me up for that version!
Me too ! Refined, subtle…I fall in love with this. Martine
Beautiful, beautiful.
Oh my. One of your most beautiful posts ever, Janice. I'm enthralled by the luminous sheen you've captured in these lovely fabrics.
I too prefer this 'side' of the painting to the other. It feels more cohesive. It could also be expanded with more pieces in denim or any of the darker neutrals.
I also noticed there wasn't a capsule image of all the pieces from yesterday.
I really love this one. Not only is it in tones I find flattering to me, but I just love the subtle, mysterious feel of the pieces you show. Isn't it fascinating to really focus on what one actually "sees"?
Really beautiful, I agree. And I love(d) those blue woven flats. Until I clicked on the link – ack. Too rich for my blood. But I know that the idea is to present… the idea. We take it from there, within our means and desires. Thanks for the inspiration – I've always loved that painting "live" and will look at it with different eyes on our next visit to Chicago. Long overdue anyway!

Loved this version – these quiet colors scream elegance. I don't like coral with black, so yesterday's version didn't resonate for me, but this…well!
The very day I met you I bought an eyeglass case with this design at the Art Institute. I keep my sunglasses in the Rainy Day in Paris case. My husband and I talk about how we need to get back to Chicago. It was a great trip and a highlight for me was having the pleasure of meeting you.
Lovely!
This was what I had in my mind's eye with yesterday's comment! This is perfect.
I liked yesterday's wardrobe but I think I prefer the more subdued blues and neutrals.
Really great capsule! I can easily see myself wearing these colors! Thanks for all your great ideas!!
