The most beautiful color scheme, combining warm tobacco brown, black, and brilliant blue and golden yellow highlights… That Vermeer guy was good!
One nice warm outfit, for in transit, or for a sudden cold snap, and some beautiful silky solids…
A simple outfit, and a nice basic dress:
A much less basic dress, and a warm-weather outfit with an over-shirt for air conditioning.
And a few extra pieces, for versatility!
love,
Janice
Looking Back:
2012 – one of my readers had a piece of jewelry that she wanted to wear more, and so I suggested What to wear with a necklace: peacock.
2013, May 12th – Paris never ceases to amaze…
2013, May 13th – It’s always difficult to figure out how to pack when the airline limits are really tight, so I made some suggestions about Packing for a warm-weather vacation, in red & navy.

This is probably my favorite, and most flattering, color combination by far. Just for fun, that beautiful color on her lips, where would you use it? Since it's such a small part of the whole picture, I know it would only be an accent, but without it, the picture would lose some of it's vibrancy. Any thoughts???

Oooh, I looked long and hard at that color, and finally decided that it should be worn on the lips of each of us. Or maybe a lovely pedicure….

Knew when i saw the painting that this "collection" would be stunning – and it is. Some wonderful choices for all skin tones, too.

I'd love to see you take inspiration from that painting and create an outfit/wardrobe for each of the season types – most interested in soft autumn and soft summer. Thx!

Ooh, I do love those colours! So vibrant but so sophisticated. I think I could get away with the tobacco colour on my bottom half and in accessories. I love that colour in leather shoes.

Love love love this! I've never thought of putting black, brown, and blue together, but I realize now it's my favorite palette! I've been reading your blog for quite a while now but have never commented. Thank you, Janice, for your wonderful work. Your sense of both the practical and the beautiful is unmatched!

Interesting and beautiful! For one thing, this is one of my favorite paintings. For another, I find the same color scheme in the picture at the head of your blog!

Hi there, I'm seeking an accent scarf featuring the colours coral and strong, deep yellow. Has anyone got any suggestions?

If you're still not sure what kind of earrings to buy, the best thing to do is browse through your options. Fortunately, jewelry buyers no longer have to go to some store in the mall with limited choices and pushy salespeople. Quality emerald earrings

The “Girl with the Pearl Earring” is also a movie starring Scarlett Johansson. It is based on the book and follows the plot very closely. It is beautifully, artistically filmed. Just a delightful endeavour.
