L’Oiseau Forestier by Max Ernst
From this, she developed her style guidelines and color palette:
Back then, when she was going out of town to lead some negotiations, this
was her wardrobe – not what one might expect from someone who is
supposed to be hard-bitten with brass… knuckles…
necklace – Tulianna & Alejandra Garces; floral corsage – Armani Collezioni; talon earrings – Shaun Leane; angular earrings – Alexis Bittar; zigzag scarf – Missoni; square scarf – Bulgari; watch – Gomelsky; bracelet – Vita Fede; dress – Lands’ End; black v-neck sweater – L.L.Bean; white turtleneck – L.L.Bean; tweed skirt – Lands End; black skirt – Lands’ End; poison bottle clutch bag – Charlotte Olympia; red tote – Lodis; red pumps – Aquatalia; boots – Blondo
“She’s heading the overnight retreat? She’s such a prissy little mouse… would it kill her to wear some high heels?”
jacket – Eileen Fisher; talon earrings – Shaun Lean; scarf – Kate Spade New York; watch – Gomelsky; dress – Lands’ End; overnight bag – Prada; pumps – Amalfi; red tote – Lodis
“Have you ever seen her wear makeup? And she doesn’t even polish her nails… I don’t know HOW she can be so successful…”
red tee – Eileen Fisher; angular earrings – Alexis Bittar; necklace – Natasha; cardigan – Eileen Fisher; scarf – Kenzo; black silk top – Eileen Fisher; black skirt – Eileen Fisher; bracelet – Vita Fede; poison bottle clutch bag – Charlotte Olympia; mules – Vagabond
of course the men in their office wear neither makeup nor nail polish… their only real priority is winning negotiations….
“I don’t know WHAT she could possible tell anybody at this meeting…”
Well, she’s not going to give away all of her secrets! But the participants will find it worthwhile…
The first thing she might be able to teach someone is how to take your opposition by surprise…
love,
Janice

I really like the story line!!
And I love the way red power is worked into this wardrobe!
Janice,
I am loving the accessories for this story line ! Beaded dagger necklace, thorn earrings, poison bottle clutch bag, plus the power play with black and red !
Let me add that she is fully armed and raring to go !
I agree. The subtle "dangerous" theme speaks volumes about this woman's confidence. Definitely one of my favorite heroines.
What fun! And elegant clothing too. They'd better watch out.
Those slingback shoes are fabulous!! And the Lands End dress is really cute – sleeves!!!!! Yay! Keep warm – Chris from Indy
<3 that tote…
