That floral skirt jumped right off the page at me…love it!!
Your first statement is so very on target. This is a beautiful set!
I adore this collection and I really appreciate the step by step breakdown. I am taking lots of notes here and can't wait to see how my own wardrobe breaks out compared to this one.
I too thought that this looks like more than 33 garments and I adore that Jill Sander cardigan. Pure styling at its best.
I love the colour in section 6. What would you call it?
I found these garments searching the internet for "rust", but I think of it as sort of softer than rust… anybody have any good ideas?
Raw or burnt Sienna, perhaps. On my screen, they appear to be on the rosy side of that, so maybe Rose Sienna?
I am finding, in seeing your blog every day, that while I have a lot of variety in tops and dresses, I have very little variety in pants or skirts. I have a ton of black trousers. One or two off-white or brown, maybe a few grey ones.. and that is it (and they are all biz-casual trousers, too). I need to branch out there, for sure. I love that this is getting me to think about combinations.
Oooh! First timer here(via Trish's), will be back. Love, need, WANT blogs about process.
I'm a Janice, too, only J-a-n-i-s. I'm taken with your Janus logo and our two sides! Have you ever noticed that most of the Janices/Janises in literary or film fiction are either mean girls, unattractive girls or the girl who gets killed first. Or is it just me?
Will be back often!

Wow, you have created another perfect core with a totally achievable and wearable capsule. You are very talented and a jean-e-ous! :):)
Janice, this is delicious! You've created something varied, interesting, stylish and fun – who'd have thought, with such basic colours as camel and navy? There's nothing conservative-looking or safe about this one. And like Kasi, I'm benefitting from the step-by-step approach.
Also realising just how much work and time go into your blog. I've been trying your format to get my head around my summer wardrobe (I'm in Tasmania), and it's really fiddly work. But worth it! Thank you for all that you do for us!
Some of my favorite colors-camel, grey, black, and winter white. I love this collection.
