A French 5-Piece Wardrobe in Palace Blue (with grey and white)

March 6, 2018

Maybe she has grey hair and bright blue eyes?

A Common Wardrobe in grey and white for spring

stand-collar jacket – Eileen Fisher; white linen cardigan – Eileen Fisher; hooded cardigan – Eileen Fisher; tank – Eileen Fisher; short-sleeved tee – Lands’ End; striped top – Eileen Fisher; long-sleeved tee – Lands’ End; white linen capris – Eileen Fisher; grey pants – Eileen Fisher; white denim pants – Eileen Fisher

(Yes, white linen pants require “granny panties” in YOUR nude…)

She likes subtle, understated, and relaxed looks that flatter her hair…

12 outfits from a 10-piece Common Wardrobe in grey and white

But this spring, she decides that she’s going to be ALL ABOUT her blue eyes… Just for a bit of a change – why not?

cardigan – Lands’ End; scarf – Caslon; bag – Street Level; sleeveless sweater – Lands’ End; sneakers – Alice + Olivia

Now when she wants something bright, she has an abundance of choices! And she can still wear her subtle greys and whites when that’s the mood…

8 outfits in grey and white with Palace Blue accents

I’m going to revisit each of these Common Wardrobes, but I’m going to go rogue and abandon the Pantone colors (trust me, I can’t find the colors available to buy in any form I’d happy recommend to you!).

Instead of Pantone, I’m just going to show you colors (maybe starting with a scarf?) that have caught my eye this spring…

love,
Janice

    I love this color blue! I keep trying to make baby blue work for my mostly grey and navy wardrobe, but this is much more me.

    Interesting that you aren't seeing the Pantone colors in clothing you would recommend. Maybe that is why we all love LL Bean. They have nice colors in quality clothing that is comfortable to wear and fits well.
