Revisiting the Red Tulip Scarf, and some Unpredictable Navy

February 22, 2018
You might remember a travel capsule wardrobe for a brave (some might say daring) heroine a couple of months ago…This was her inspirational scarf, her style guidelines, and her color palette:

A Conference, Alone….

After the lecture that she attended before the holidays, she joined a group that did a lot of research in the subject that she found so fascinating. So now, they’re getting together for a weekend conference to discuss their finding and their next steps. She’s VERY excited…

scarf – KathKath; earrings – Aurelie Biderman; cardigan – L.L.Bean; tee shirt – Lands’ End; watch – Fossil; suitcase – Bric’s; pants – Lands’ End; backpack – Longchamp; mules – Tory Burch

It’s just a couple of days, so she won’t need a lot of things. Mostly they’ll be sitting around a conference table talking, taking notes and sharing ideas… There’s 1 nice dinner planned, and as usual she’s going to take advantage of breakfast served in her hotel room!

She’s growing in confidence with her packing – when she looks at these pieces available for getting dressed through the weekend, she’s not at all worried….

But she walks through a few outfits, just to be sure!

She likes the balance of the predictable yellow “twinset” with the whimsy of a printed tee shirt; finding “her” color palette has made it easier for her to branch out into some more unpredictable purchases!

love,
Janice

    It's funny but I was quite frightened by the first shot of scarf and colour palette, yet the wardrobe was really easy on the eye. Perhaps if more red had been picked out in the clothing, I wouldn't have felt quite the same.
    So, having said that, maybe it's time to test out our grit by introducing a few red pieces for her next meet up with the research buddies! Hugs, x.

      Agreed. Not my color scheme, but it would be great to see how 3 accent colors can be used to expand a wardrobe.

    Janice, It's as though you looked through my closet and pulled out these pieces. I just received the LLBean cardi in persimmons last week. You have given me many different ways to put my navy and persimmons pieces together
    Thank you so much! Amy

    This a a beautiful, lively scarf. Not my colors, but pretty. I do love the KathKath Vintage Rose design. I always seem to feel overwhelmed in a scarf. I buy light weight gauzy ones. Anyone have advice on the best shape/size for petites?

    I love this scarf, though I do not have a navy core of garments, I have the basic four pieces and would love to wear this. The yellow is such a pretty tint of yellow, pleasant and easy to live with. I also love the navy and red sweater to wear with the dress…so unusual and totally different from the the yellow outfits. As usual you found the perfect tee. Flowers to match your flower theme. I loved this post!Even the earrings are flowers. Such attention to detail is pleasing to read! best wishes for a fast recovery…
