I always love Mucha; what an idealistic view of women he had! And a master of colors…. sigh….
President of the Association, FINALLY
Brown top – Jil Sander; brown trousers – Armani Collezioni; purple cardigan – Bottega Veneta; earrings – Lord & Taylor; bracelet – Marie Helene de Taillac; wrap – Etro; loafers –Tod’s; duffel bag – Lotuff
So tomorrow you fly over to a couple of client meetings, and then a dinner with the other partners in your firm. Tomorrow you have the day off (to be spent at the spa in the hotel!!!) and tomorrow night is your investiture banquet…
Earrings – Effy; bracelet – Brooke Gregson; tunic – Missoni; brown earrings – Final Call; brown cardigan – Scoop; ivory silk blouse – Equipment; ivory tee –Alexander Wang; silk trousers – Rag and Bone; skirt – Akris Punto; brown pumps – Trotters; sandals – Seychelles
Your pretty and feminine choices evoke the spirit of the paining beautifully. Alas, I am very much at home in more tailored clothing, but that first frame, I would wear in a heartbeat.
I love the myth busting approach here! I'm ok with tailored jackets, but always wear trousers so appreciate the 'silk trousers' rather than the obvious LBD solution for the banquet. And I'd love a set of those plain tops and blouses, in various colours. It;s amazing what a difference notching up the fabric quality can make to an otherwise straight forward garment…..well I can dream (just checked the prices)!
How about pretending that this association is a non-profit? And that this person has decided to splurge by spending $1000 on this event, total? How would she do it using the same art but on that budget?
Love the purple and brown…I actually pinned the combo for Fall. And I also tend toward a more tailored style!
This is absolutely stunning! (and just my colors!!)
For the pale green, have you tried searching "celadon"?
Wow. This is a far cry from my normal denim and black, but, oh, it makes my heart sing!

Searched for "sage green" and found some nice options:

Hope this helps.
Mucha is always uplifting and inspiring; you can use his paintings as often as you like as far as I am concerned. You found the absolute best bracelet for this woman. It is delicate and strong and clear. I remember a style show on TV where the stylist always had women begin their style "overhaul" with one very perfect and luxurious accessory that exemplified their new "brand". This is IT for this woman.

Agree totally about that bracelet as the perfect identity piece for this woman.
…And thanks for sharing that tip about one way to begin a style overhaul!

I, too, missed the sage green. Very few neutrals look good on me, and sage is an "almost neutral" that I use as a neutral (along with peach). I'd love to see you explore sage green some more!

That stunning amethyst cardigan is the star of the show. What a perfect shade of purple!
Gorgeous!
Gorgeous!
The Etro wrap is absolutely stunning!
I love these colors, and I agree, that wrap is gorgeous!
Hi, Janice–Do you use an online program to generate the pie charts from the paintings? If so, which one? I'd like to try it at home with a few art postcards I have. Thanks!
Gosh, for a second there, I thought you meant president of your condominium association and wondered about the aspiration! Pairing lavender and brown is a great idea.
Found a page in LOFT.com that features all green clothes and thought it might be helpful to you. Hugs!

Amazing blog and very interesting stuff you got here! I definitely learned a lot from reading through some of your earlier posts as well and decided to drop a comment on this one!
