Instruments de Musique by Picasso, Revisiting for Spring 2018

 
 
She still doesn’t really fit in… Back in January, when she went to visit a client with a number of co-workers, her uniqueness worked to her benefit… Maybe because she’s inspired by this Picasso painting, it’s not surprising that she’s a bit of a square peg!

This is what she packed for that very successful adventure:

concrete necklace – Studio Corebelle; square earrings – Zales; watch – Gomelsky; scarf – Olympia Le-Tan; gold earrings – Roberto Coin; pink necklace – Talbots; pendant – Zales; green earrings – Kate Spade New York; gray cardigan – L.L.Bean; green tee – Lands’ End; grey grid sweater – Banana Republic; pink tee – Lands’ End; orange handbag – Valextra; grey pants – Uniqlo; grid skirt – Banana Republic; blazer – Frenken; briefcase – Coach; pumps – Taryn Rose; loafers – Stuart Weitzman

Now, she’s been chosen to go meet the client with whom they have the most problems. Recurring, SERIOUS problems… She’s ready! For the first meeting, with management, she’s making things clear, in black and white!

After the first day, she’s going to tone it down a notch or two, and use a softer approach when she’s meeting with the staff.

necklace – Christina Greene; square earrings – Zale; green earrings – Jax Kelly; scarf – Ted Baker London; pink blouse – Equipment; cardigan – Eileen Fisher; green tee – L.L.Bean; skirt – BOSS; pendant – Zales; pants – J.Crew; pumps – Calvin Klein; handbag – Valextra; loafers – Donald Pliner

She knows that it’s breaking the rules to pack 5 pieces instead of 4 for a 2 day trip. Well, there aren’t really any rules…And she knows that packing clothes that don’t work terribly well with her travel outfit is ALSO breaking the rules. She just doesn’t care; doing her own thing has served her well, so far!

Her co-workers were stunned to see her with a floral scarf! They should look more closely… there are hard, cold, faceted gems included in the pattern… The Diamond Fist in the Floral Glove…

Janice

    Love the tangerine accents – and the suitcase! Fabulous!

    A nice juxtaposition of feminine shapes with angular patterns. Well done! Chris from Indy

    Seeing just the items themselves it all seemed rather basic. But then scroll down to the images of the pulled together outfits and what a pleasant surprise! The ensembles look so elegant and refined. A few carefully selected accessories really make all the difference. Kudos on another well done weekend travel packing plan.
