If you’d like to flash back to the lovely trip that our heroine was taking with this travel capsule wardrobe, you can find her here.
And a couple of days later our heroine decided to start building a larger wardrobe around the same color scheme; this was what she found and how it worked out…
Through the end of the summer, I’m going to “flash back” twice a week (I’m targeting Tuesdays and Thursdays…) I hope that this isn’t an inconvenience for any of you; I have a couple of trips coming up (of COURSE I do…) and I find that I need a bit of time to get things sorted out chez nous.
love,
Janice

Hey keep posting such good and meaningful articles.
I am very new to your blog so revisiting some former pages is great- it is all new to me!
Janice,
You have done so many fabulous posts that revisiting a few is like seeing them new all over again ! Call me a slow learner, but I often find myself gleaning another aspect that I missed the first time around ! That Chi Chi dress has me swooning ! Enjoy your travels !
I'm working my way through your blog archives anyway, so this is welcome!
I agree. These posts seem new again! This o e is especially lovely – the core, the femininity! Just. Beautiful. Janice Collins, Washington DC
Flashbacks are most welcome! Often I dig into the archives or Pinterest to revisit previous posts. Happy Travels!
I hope your travel is to fabulous destinations! Thank you for providing some updated similar items for this classic post. Taupe is such a versatile color, but not it really can be hard to find. – nancyo
This is lovely! Janice, if one of your trips is to Ireland I'd love to take you out for a coffee or a cocktail…… or both!
I'm loving the softer, lighter palettes this week. Thank you!
I do remember this one, loved the heroine and I always love your stories. Doing the reruns is a good way to plug in during busy times. Thanks for the tip, the garden's taking up a lot of my time right now and reruns seem a nicer approach than going MIA for days, which is what I tend to do!
Did anyone else see this article? Can't help but think of all of the lessons I've learned from the Vivienne Files… 🙂
