A Clothing Diary Week 6

March 16, 2015
 
Even though I worked every day on The Vivienne Files, I also spent quite a bit of time last week doing things with my relatives and my neighbors. I find my wardrobe to be so helpful to me when I’ve got so many other demands on my time; it’s easy to just reach into my closet and find something appropriate and comfortable without a lot of angst!

velvet shirt – J. Jill, earrings – similar here, jeans – Eileen Fisher, shoes – Munro

earrings – Majorica, scarf – Hermes, shirt – Lands’ End, cardigan – Lands’ End, jeans – Eileen Fisher, boots – Munro

striped shirt – St. James, earrings – Majorica, ballet flats – Chanel, slouch pants – Eileen Fisher

earrings – Rika, brooch – Tiffany, sweater – Eileen Fisher, jeans – Eileen Fisher, shoes – Munro

 
love,
Janice

    Thank you for another installment of your weekly wardrobe. I have been following this series closely and it is making a difference for me! I find myself looking for alternative ways to wear my basic wardrobe. Please keep going with this series!!

    Velvet for cleaning?! O.o
    If I did that, I would look like I had rolled around on the floor and used myself as a mop, in less than 5 minutes. Yes, my house is very dusty (remodelling + cats).

    I, love this series and appreciate the links. I, too, was struck by your doing your good deeds in a black velvet shirt! Well, that's why you and not I are the queen of clothes. :)

    I'm traveling to London for first time from June 6-17. I don't know how to pack for its summer and should I bring a trench? What would your travel wardrobe be for such a trip? And are you still available for a Saturday brunch or tea if we are ever in Chicago?

      I'd check the weather every day before you leave – the only think I know about the weather in London is that it's like Dublin (where I used to live) in that it can vary widely, and wildly. A trench is probably always worth having along, though.

      And yes, I'm always free for brunch or tea. That's a wide-open offer to ANYBODY coming to Chicago, just get in touch with me at theviviennefiles[email protected].

      warmest regards,
      Janice

    The romantic in me adores the references to you 'belovest'. Have a wonderful week!

    Would you consider doing a capsule based on Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose by John Singer Sargent? I am a "warm spring" and have always adored this painting (along with most of Sargent's work) http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Carnation_Lily_Lily_Rose_John_Singer_Sargent.jpg
    I also adore your work. Thanks for all you do. Carolyn
