Remember her? Of course you do – we first saw her as the inspiration for this six-pack capsule wardrobe in black and blue.
The CEO Travels
When she left her reunion, this was her travel capsule wardrobe:
She knows that in about 6 days, she’s leaving for a 10-day trip to meet potential investors. She was pretty happy with what she had packed for the reunion, but realizes that she’s going to need a few more business/dressy ensembles. Her agenda is going to be full of meetings and meals with these… people… so dressy but completely covered-up and professional are key.And she doesn’t want to pack a pile of shoes; black shoes are the only color in this bag!
She’d much rather dine alone…
The chosen garments fit very nicely into the 4 by 4 template, so she’s comfortable knowing that she will have a wide variety of outfits possible.
She’s set for everything from serious financial meetings to leisurely walks in whatever parks she can find during her travels:
If she finds like-minded investors, great! If the people with whom she meets don’t understand her business and her goals, they they shouldn’t be part of her success…
love,
Janice

Looks great! That double-breasted jacket calls out for a belt, IMHO. Especially with the skirt. I like the way some women put a random leather belt around a blazer. And it's still serious.
Oooh I really like where you took this with the addition of that beautiful cocoa brown.
Janice, your blag has had the strangest effect on me..I read it, and want to shop..but I don't buy! I wait for the perfect item. ( very unlike my past habits)

Thank you for revisiting this woman and giving her the lovely warm brown of her hair. I am also struck by the boxy double breasted jacket. I have seen some others like that in local fashion shows. It takes me back to my work wardrobe of the 80,s I think. I am so glad that I don't have to go along anymore with fashion anymore as that style is very unflattering on me and always was!!

I love the brown as the other accent color! So pretty! I haven't seen a long double breasted jacket in some time! Not sure about that……..I used to wear them years ago. That tweed skirt has me longing for cooler temperatures! I wonder if I could find similar tweed pants? Never wear skirts. I'm so glad to re-visit our homecoming ladies!
mmm, tweed! That black and brown looks so polished together, and the blue is handy to add a punch. I love that you included a white blouse; this painting seemed to call out for that. – nancyo
Janice,
I would love to meet this lady — Classic, conservative, and yet oh so subtly elegant !
Beautiful! That shade of blue looks wonderful with the brown, perfect for this time of year.
She will look elegant in these clothes. The cool blue and warm brown work beautifully with her colouring and with the black. It's a very collected wardrobe, like the lady's own demeanour. Nicely done!
