Shallow Deep by Wassily Kandinsky Revisited for Autumn 2018

October 12, 2018

Remember this heroine – the intrepid teacher who took 20 of her 6th grade students to New York City for a few days? She went back to NYC by herself in the spring (and spent quite a bit of time in The Met Shop…) During the summer she applied for, and was interviewed for, a position that would help organize field trips for students all over the state…

Her style inspiration is a whimsical, colorful painting:

So With Her New Job…

of course she got the position – who else could begin to understand these projects as well as she does?

She has to travel back and forth between the city where she lives (and where she has an desk in the local offices) and the state capital, where the State Board of Education is headquartered. Today’s her first trip since she took her new position!

yes, she did some shopping when she got her first check…

jacket – Eileen Fisher; earrings – The Met Store; scarf – The Met Store; pants – Eileen Fisher; sweater – Eileen Fisher; watch – Rosefield; GREEN boots – Black Suede Studio; bag – Brahmin

She can dash to the capital on the train in 2 hours, which is a good opportunity to get paperwork tidied up. Since she’s going to be making this trip every month, she’s going to try to really master the art of the “light pack.”

Today, these is what she brought with her:

Byzantine lapis earrings – The Met Store; tee – Eileen Fisher; Delacroix Basket of Flowers scarf – The Met Store; bracelet – Gorjana; yellow cardigan – J.Crew; baroque pearl earrings – The Met Store; pink cardigan – Caslon; rectangular scarf – Violeta by Mango; dress – Eileen Fisher; bag – Brahmin; slingback pumps – Bella Vita; suede flats – Bella Vita

As much as she enjoyed indulging in some luscious pine green velvet, she is working hard to stick with her navy wardrobe core. Before everything goes into the bag, she arrays her entire travel wardrobe to enjoy it!

She doesn’t think that she’s going to be caught unawares about what to wear when she’s there, but just in case, she mentally ticks off her outfit possibilities….

She’s dressing a little bit more formally than she used to, but she’s clinging tightly to her fondness for bright colors and a touch of fun…

love,

Janice

    Another favorite color combination except for that warm yellow and scarf. They seem like outliers on my monitor. Maybe the yellow would work for me grayed and cooled down.

    I like the teal and navy, it looks so elegant, but the yellow is too bright and the pink is too peachy. I would have preferred an ochre shade of yellow and the dusty rose pink which I see in the painting. Sorry, but not my favourite, although her job does sound exciting!

    I love the yellow … but couldn’t wear it close to my face. Unless part of a check – you guys call that a plaid? Or accessories …

    Love this site, Janice, and currently working my way through the archives. Such a delight.

    I really love these colors – especially with the navy base. The yellow is such a happy color, and I love the pine green and the peacock scarf – they add serious depth to the wardrobe!

    This is one of my favorite color combos that you’ve put together. Like other readers, I would like to see how these seasonal wardrobes work together with the previous ones. Are there gaps? Can we make pieces from one work well with the others? I feel like this is how we build a wardrobe in real life.

      Oh, you took the words right out of my mouth. Ditto to every thing she said!

    Janice, Would you do a post that shows our intrepid teacher’s complete wardrobe. I’m enjoying mentally creating outfits that combine items from the different posts. It would be great to see what outfits you would create!
