The lovely Kate asked for a wardrobe “rich medium brown, tan/caramel/cognac, and army green. For the colors any mix of light olive green, mustard yellow, orange, teal, plum, and terra cotta.”.  This one doesn’t include all of those, but it’s a start.  And there are more autumn hued wardrobes under construction, so stay tuned!  And thanks, so much, for your request.

    Wow, very nice! I've been on the hunt for that one Hermès scarf, "Soie du Gala," I think it is, but in the light olive/blue colorway.

    These are absolutely beautiful. They are so toally not my colors-couldn't wear any of them-but I love the way you have combined the browns and blues. And the scarves are lovely also.

    These are all so gorgeous! I fall into warm coloring and have limited myself to brown and cream – bleh. You've got me rethinking my wardrobe!! Thanks for creating these … they're really inspiring!

    Absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for taking my request! Like Lynda said, you've got me rethinking some of the colors I use. I tend to shy away from most blues, but these shades really work together!

    Although I don't have warm coloring, I can wear nearly all these colors – blues, teals, greens, browns except the beige. I have a lot of brown and khaki but have been getting bored with it, maybe I can try some of the teals to liven it up.

    I think I am a warm too. I was told long ago that olive green is a good color on me.

    That scarf in the first photo is divine – I think I am in love with it. Uh oh!

    Would you be able to tell me the name of that Max Mara winter coat? I am absolutely crushing on it ?. No surprise it’s no longer on the site, but maaaaaaaaybe I can (some day) find it second hand…???

    Thank you!

      After 10 years, I haven’t a clue; I suspect that contacting Max Mara might be your best option, if you can describe the coat and give them the year. I would keep an eye on all of the good resale sites like RealReal; they may get it in. And it’s always possible that MaxMara will re-do the style; some companies do!
      hugs,
