    I love how you've ended up with a really versatile, three-season wardrobe just from this one inspiration. And the vignette with the van Opstal scarf is just gorgeous! Thank you for another beautiful post.

    Janice, I love art. Such beauty and food for the eyes. I love your 'start with art' posts as well as the posts that start with a scarf for inspiration. You show that you can take anything that speaks to us and create a harmonious wardrobe or capsule. I love how you not only pull the colors but the very mood of a piece! You are teaching and we are learning.

    There's something that tugs at the heart about the pairing of earth brown and robin's egg blue–

    Ooh, nice! I love those soft grey colours! I was just out shopping this afternoon trying (and failing) to find a nice grey top.
