A Colorful Moon by Alain Paillou – Revisiting for Spring 2018

April 11, 2018
 
She’s always loved the moon… And found this unexpectedly colorful photograph to be the perfect inspiration for her wardrobe:

She was bowled over when she was told she needed to travel to the capital because of an issue with Probate Court! But when she received the expense check to cover her travel (and a bit of shopping), she was prepared to make some smart choices. This is what she packed for that most life-changing adventure:

travel capsule wardrobe in ivory, apricot and blue

ivory sweater – Pringle of Scotland; moonstone pendant – Emma Chapman Jewels; moonstone earrings – Temple St. Clair; flower earrings – Temple St. Clair; ring – Alethia & Phos; scarf – Max Mara; apricot sweater – Humanoid; blue sweater – Stella McCartney; watch – Movado; skirt – Pringle of Scotland; clutch – Jimmy Choo; silk skirt – Forte Forte; pants – Joseph; rectangle scarf – Caslon; blue socks – Free Press; gold loafers – Vionic; copper flats – Vince Camuto; ivory flats – Trotters; handbag – The Row

She’s still getting used to the idea of being able to retire… She just worked the last day of her 4 week notice to her employers, and she’s heading away for a couple of days, to a city in Mexico of which she has heard a great deal…

jacket – Eileen Fisher; earrings – APC Monaco; tee shirt – Eileen Fisher; scarf – Eileen Fisher;  handbag – The Row;  watch – Movado;  gold loafers – Vionic; pants – Eileen Fisher; duffel – Bric’s

She’s not meeting a realtor; she just want to BE there for a day or two, to see how it feels. She’s certain that she will know if she wants to move there for a while, within just a few hours…

Tote Bag Travel capsule wardrobe in chambray, apricot and ivory

shirtdress – Lands’ End; earrings – Marco Bicego; ring – Marco Bicego; necklace – Marco Bicego; scarf – David & Young; ivory tee – Lands End; crossbody bag – See by Chloe; floral tee – Uniqlo; linen pants – Eileen Fisher; sandals – Isola

She didn’t want to take much with her – her new jewelry HAD to go with her, but otherwise she just wanted to have… enough…

She’s only there for a long weekend, so it’s not as if she needs to bring steamer trunks full of stuff!

Just a peaceful town – that’s all she wants. Someplace where she can study Spanish, and read, cook and see the moon at night…

love,
Janice

    How evocative are those words then? Just as evocative as the gorgeous clothes she has chosen :-)

    This is so beautiful, I love this color scheme. Now I feel like wearing my coral scarf today, thank you!

    Beautiful — but I would advise against traveling with such lovely, expensive jewelry, even if she can afford to replace it!
