Yes, you CAN combine “warm” and “cool” colors. If Mondrian can do it, any of us can!

Sometimes I get a glimpse of how your mind works: you see something beautiful (the Mondrian) and then you construct this beautifully constructed assemblage. I remain in awe.
ergh–sorry about the bad writing! I'm a bit stressed as I wait for the hurricane to make its full appearance.
Never would I have put rust and grey together, but it seems to work.
I need those gray Soft Style pumps (they are great shoes, Soft Style). I love so many of these combinations. So many excellent seasonal and year round combinations. sigh.
I love grey and rust together but I just don't find that baby blue, especially paired with pink, to have a richness associated with a chic dresser. Even pink with grey jeans and pink shoes kinda weirds me out. It looks cheap to me. Sorry to be so blunt:/
I do get the concept, though. Carry on. :)
Try to catch Christine Lagarde in one of here icy pinks and blues some time. It changed my mind…
What can you do with Kandinsky? :-)
I am in love with the baby blue trench. I know I don't *need* it (I have a spectacular Burberry, bought a million years ago in London). But, oh, I'd be lying if having a colored trench wouldn't be tempting. Janice, you're my 'paring down' guru, but I'm now I'm lusting for more. *wink*
And these outfits haven't even been accessorized yet. That would really pull them together even more. And I like all of them, maybe except for the pink and blue together. I would have possibly preferred pink top and faded blue denim. In any case, I would love a "Mondrian" scarf. His art would lend itself well to a wearable silk version, no?
I would love to see what you come up with for Marc Chagall’s stained glass windows or maybe some stained glass from the Tiffany workshop. Also, have you ever considered thinking about line and proportion in terms of architecture. Chicago offers some interesting options in Brutalist and Prairie Style work.
