Imaginary Shopping for a Capsule Wardrobe “must-have” color: Burgundy

There are, in fact, FOUR colors being promoted as "the must-have" colors... I'm going to look at all four of them in the next few days.

Silk top – Max Mara, cardigan – Trine Vestergaard, ballet flats – French Sole, earrings – Tarina Tarantino  

I'll try these items with the Common Wardrobe.  

 

 

 And let's see what I could do with my core of black winter clothes.

 

 

None of this makes me want to race out and shop, but then I'm leaving for Paris in 3 days... ... View the Post

The Six Pack! – in camel & blue

September 21, 2012   I've been thinking a lot about the idea of having a target number of garments to pack.  The clarity and focus that this lends to the packing process is interesting, and can be useful if you're the kind of person who wants to toss their entire closet into the suitcase...  Today, I'm over at Tish's, exploring the possibilities.  

love,

Janice

A Common Capsule Wardrobe, with purple

If you have brown eyes with a purple ring around the iris, you're a witch.  Or at least that's what they believed in the village in which she was raised.  So, she decided to run with it...

bracelet – Amanda Rudey, belt – Romwe, cashmere scarf – Faliero Sarti, square scarf – Hermès, ballet flats – J. Crew, bag –

A Common Capsule Wardrobe, with hot pink

It's been her favorite color since she was three years old, and she sees NO reason to give it up as an adult...

 

  So are we weary of this idea?  Frankly, I know many people who dress exactly like this, and I have at least six or seven more iterations of the theme available, if you're interested in seeing them...

A Common Capsule Wardrobe

September 5, 2012

 

I used to work in advertising, and thus I have hung around with some of the most eccentric, exotic and extraordinary people imaginable.

Flash back to a large conference room in a major European city (this happened at LEAST three times...). The room is full - a couple of hundred advertising professionals from around the world. There are amazing haircuts, astonishing eyeglasses, jewelry you've never seen before or since, scarves of every possible description, tied in every way you could envision. Shoes? The mind reels just at the memory. And the socks were a thing of beauty...
