Beautiful, wearable, mindful, inspired. I've been struck, Janice, as I've paged my way through the mega-fashion magazines of September by how much more beautiful and useful your blog pages are than anything else!
I agree with you Gail. Much more useful than the current fashion mags
This is stunning. You find the most beautiful clothes and color combinations.
Beautiful painting and amazing interpretation of course! You astound me. :)
Perfect timing! My winter wardrobe colors are the gray and brown spectrum with the lighter blue, but I've been struggling with an accent color. This apricot/light terra cotta is perfect! I've always found the delicate colors of winter to be so beautiful and this painting captures that softness. (Why yes, I do actually like winter.)
it is always my favorite posts of yours when you start with art! Thanks Janice!
Every day you amaze me and free me from thinking that I have to purchase something. I already have so many unexpectedly lovely combinations in my closet. You inspire me to see the colours with a different,more subtle eye. That truly is art.
This one is beautiful–cools and warms.
I rarely comment – I don't know if I ever have actually. But this post is just amazing. I don't know how you do this. I really enjoy seeing all of the color combinations you put together and the clothes you find. Thank you so much for providing this for all of us.
So elegant! The deep charcoal grey is a wonderful base colour. I also love the apricot! In fact my wardrobe is slowly evolving into a grey/brown base plus as accents any colour in the spectrum between apricot and blue-greens (so yellows, greens, aqua green, etc). This is a post I will bookmark for future reference – many thanks for the continuing inspiration!

That is a truly beautiful painting and it's inspired some lovely combinations – very elegant! Your choices would work well on a cool blonde, I think.
A beautiful post. I love the subtle interplay of colour. Also wanted to thank you for sharing your thought process in many posts. I would never have thought of reflecting the pattern and flow of a scarf in my jewellery if not for you.
So, so beautiful. I love the painting and the clothes you've chosen to express it. This is inspiring my entire fall/winter wardrobe! Thank you, Janice.
Breath-taking. I imagined different scenarios I might encounter on my own trip next week and realized, you have it all covered beautifully!
