I'm not going to share with you what I wore last week, because with the exception of two days in the office, I wore flannel pajamas. Constantly. For five days, while I recovered from a stomach virus of Olympic strength. Instead, I've aggregated all of the accessories that I wore during January, for our consideration.Bear in mind that the REAL Project 333 starts with 33 items of clothing AND ACCESSORIES for three months, and that there are lots of people making that work beautifully. I'm currently doing the sissies version of 333, which has 33 items of clothing and unlimited accessories.
First up are my shoes - only seven pair, including two pair (the black & white, and the gold) which many people ... View the Post
She's an art director. Well, she's a color savant - she can identify a Pantone shade at 20 paces... and when she gets dressed, she doesn't want to even THINK about colors!

The series is going to wind down at the end of the week, as I move on the start planning for my trip to Paris (2 weeks from today!). But the Common Wardrobe will reappear maybe once a week for a while, until I feel I've exhausted my creativity in this framework. ... View the Post
12 more garments, also from L.L.Bean. And then, I thought I would show all of the possible outfits... When I got up to 48 outfits, I threw in the towel. And these outfits were assembled BEFORE I ever started using the navy corduroy pants, or the navy tee shirt, or the striped oxford shirt, or the blue jeans... So okay, this wardrobe doesn't include any lime green. No orange. No abstract prints. No platform pumps... Some of us are fine without those things.

This is the last iteration of the original "honeymoon" packing theme that I started over a week ago. But in the next few days, I'm going to do some imaginary shopping, I've got a chic sighting to share, and then I'm going to tackle a "second honeymoon in Paris" theme, which will have a slightly greater focus on neutral colors and modest silhouettes!

Still evolving the same packing which started with my honeymoon, I'm now thinking of a trip where you're leaving a cooler climate (maybe early autumn in northern climes) and heading south. Brown keeps your grounded in the September or October mood, but still lots of soft coral colors to enjoy your vacation destination!Tomorrow is the last installment of this particular theme and variations; I'll be using the color of the year - tangerine!!! (the identifying of annual colors always makes me laugh...)

The wardrobes just keep getting harder! The request for this wardrobe was: "I am a short, graying brunette in her early 60’s woman who lives in the South (think 4 seasons with an emphasis on hot & humid but occasional snow/ice). I think Katherine Hepburn with more colors would be my inspiration. Casual, few skirts/dressy itesm, but chic. I love the colors of the sunset and sky plus silver/pewter jewelry with black, charcoal or dark jeans as the ... View the Post
