Remember the author/art dealer from the class reunion?
earrings – Ippolita; ring – Geraldine Valluet; watch – Emporio Armani; blue sweater – Roberto Collina; necklace – Wild Lilies; earrings – Black; nail polish – Dior in “Junon”; blouse – Peter Cohen; marled sweater – M.I.h Jeans; cardigan – Lands’ End;scarf – Ralph Lauren; dress – Eleventy; clutch – Edie Parker; scarf – Nordstrom; jeans – Armani; tote – Under One Sky; pants – Fabiana Filippi; skirt – Lands’ End; ballet flats – Me Too; loafers – Steve Madden; boots – Madden-Girl
When she left the reunion, she had only a few days left to pack before she had to prepare for a big art show in Milan…
She’s devoted to beige and brown, and her blue eyes insist on blue accents. The show will be casual, dressy, classic, avant-garde, and everything in between. So she’s just going to dress like herself, and let everyone else do the posturing…
Leather jacket – Vince Camuto; necklace – Heidi Daus; color-blocked shirt – Dorothy Perkins; earrings – Heidi Daus; tee – J.Crew Factory; sweater – Autumn Cashmere; striped tee – A.P.C.; turtleneck – Veronica Beard; pumps – Andre Assous; pants – P.A.R.O.S.H.; scarf – Max Mara; suede skirt – Adam Lippes
The brocade shroud, the military uniform, the obsessive caressing of a VERY inappropriate pet are NOT for her…
Let them be all artsy and fey and distracted; she’s going to be meticulously organized, and single-minded in getting the work done.
Six months from now, her gallery will have exclusive rights with the hottest new artist in Europe, and everybody else from the art show won’t even remember meeting her…
love,
Janice

This is really one of my favorites. I could see an art dealer wearing the blue T-shirt with the blue skirt and the leather jacket over it. Kind of sweet-tough.
Love the tweed in both today and yesterday's blogs. Yes I see see myself looking out for something like this.
Janice,
This was my color scheme, done in a totally casual way for packing to accompany my husband on a long weekend fishing trip in Ontario, Canada , this past weekend. At one time I would have just thrown some random pieces together, but no more ! While I was fishing camp relaxed, casual, and appropriate, and the only woman there, other than the owner/cook, and the cleaning help, I still felt happily coordinated. Maybe it was silly to be so selective at such a place where it really didn't matter how I looked, but I cared, and it was great practice for packing ! I thought of you each time I looked at my selections !
"artsy, fey, and scattered" – Love and have never seen articulated so well . . . I may borrow :-) xoxox
If I have it, you can have it. No matter what!
hugs,
Janice
I **love** this – so chic! Thanks for your blog, Janice – you've changed the way I look at my wardrobe for the better!
So beautiful and chic! I love the new faux leather jacket!
Yes, all of this is wonderful and I would love to own this whole selection. Your story almost eclipses the wardrobe. Also, a thought. Some of us have very symmetrical faces and others have faces almost like the cubist painting. I am thinking that maybe our clothes could echo our unique type of symmetry???

Love the selection and the colors are definitely me. Thanks for the excellent ideas to always look put together. I do like the artsy, Fey and scattered comment. There are days I feel like that. ?
What a glorious and understated wardrobe!! Would love to find some of these treasures now… that leather jacket is gorgeous!
I think I would like to have a pair of faded denim jeans with these combos, in the same color as the rest of the blue items.
