Ahhh, by the time you’re reading this post, I’m in Paris celebrating our 10th anniversary with my most Belovedest. I frankly wasn’t convinced that marriage was right for me (yes, I had tried it before, and I was not very good at it….). This, however, has been the most uniformly delightful 10 years of my life, and pretty much more than any woman could hope to deserve.
This ensemble seemed perfect to revive for today, because I was married in a soft violet outfit (wisteria, to quote Eileen Fisher on the color). This would be delightful for a second honeymoon…The original post can be found on A Femme d’un Certain Age, where various combinations are shown.

Happy anniversary to you and your Belovedest. Loving these glimpses from the past. They are perfectly appropriate now as they were then. You have such great taste and eye for color. Hope you are having a marvelous time, and please bring us back the latest style trends, as I will be following you to Paris in May.

Happy Anniversary from me too. Just had to laugh today…shopping at TJMaxx and they had a whole rack of purses in yesterday's green and navy, and realize they also had a bunch of violet purses as well!

Hi Viviene:
I've been your fan for years. Yours is the only blog I read daily. Thank you for helping me focus my wardrobe choices. I'm happier than I have ever been with my wardrobe, thanks to your guidance.
You posted about how you create the illustrations you publish. I'd love to illustrate a packing strategy for my guests who vacation at our place in a similar fashion. I've tried in vain to find it via Google. Could you point me to it?
Thank you again.
Lynn
