Yes – ANOTHER SCARF GIVE-AWAY!
This lovely object is 36 inches square, and SO lovely… Leave a comment and it might be yours!
Creativity Requires Discipline
At least that’s what she believes. Years ago, when she committed to designing jewelry, she made the very startling choice to limit her work to silver, gold, black onyx and pearls. Well, she will use mother-of-pearl if it is truly ivory…
Over time, her wardrobe came to reflect the same colors that she cherished in her work…
When it’s time to go to the annual One of a Kind show in Chicago, she knows exactly how she will pack!
She deliberately packs a column of charcoal grey, as well as wears her black column. These small choices can make getting dressed so easy:
As she gets ready to pack, she realizes that her wardrobe does indeed look a great deal like her jewelry, when on display. She is completely delighted by this!
As she points out to her customers and friends, these four colors – in jewelry or in clothing – give you all of the options that you really need:
Why do I suspect that her closet at home might look quite a bit like this?
Wouldn’t you love to meet this designer? Imagine when she does a collection of her interpretation of the 4 Seasons, or of the 4 Elements, using just her 4 materials….
love,
Janice
p.s. Six years ago, our heroine was building her wardrobe around “Echo and Narcissus” by John William Waterhouse. Pre-Raphaelite painting is ALWAYS inspiring…
Heidi from Germany says
This scarf – and what you combine it with – so lovely!
Carol says
Classy comfort
Robinjay says
I almost put that scarf in my cart the last time I “monitor shopped” the Echo website! It’s gorgeous!
Norma says
Me, too
Donna says
Love everything about this post! The scarf is beautiful as are the pieces. I look forward to seeing all the possible combinations. Thank you!
Lise says
Ooh, this scarf will be wonderful with my new love of grey since I have let my natural hair grow into it’s silver colour. Thanks for the tombola Janice!
Kristina Sherwood says
Exactly the color pallet I am aiming for as I too go silver! Thank you for providing loveliness in my inbox – your emails are a joy.
TerriZ says
What a beautiful scarf and color palette — a permit combination for me! I always look forward to your Start with a Scarf posts.
SuzanneGabrielle says
The 4 colors in this palette are my absolute favorite and my go to combination when travel. You cannot go wrong and the scarf is beyond fabulous.
Kari Lanz says
This looks like the perfect winter travel wardrobe. The scarf is beautiful and will go with so many rhings!
Laura Ramirez says
Really appreciate all of the grey pieces and ideas for what to combine with them. That scarf is lovely and really a workhorse for a wardrobe in disguise. Laura
Mary says
This is such a peaceful combination, and makes my heart happy. Thank you for your regular inspiration, and all the lovely giveaways!
Jacqueline says
Beautiful! Your wardrobe examples are inspiring – thank you!
Arwen77 says
I love the story and the cohesiveness with the wardrobe is just genius! I especially like how the black works here as an accent color, what a punch!
Blessings to yall!
Bren says
These colors are elegant and timeless. Just what I want my wardrobe to be, and I’m getting there thanks to your help, Janice. Your posts are a bright point in my week. You bring joy to many, many people.
Sheila says
I love the look of calmness about all the outfits. I fear they would wash me out though. I am adding gray to my wardrobe (I’ve worn it on the bottom, just beginning to add tops) as I’ve turned gray, but I always want a bit of color near my face or I disappear. I think you used the same Fair Isle sweater from J. Crew on Monday? I am not finding that colorway when I look for it. Just a warmer brighter Cerise Peony and an Ivory Deep Blush – which is not what I’m seeing here? Looks more blue/gray? Anyway, thanks for these posts, always love Mon,Wed,Fri. Sometimes its all about figuring out what I would differently for my personal needs/colors.
Erica says
It feels like you stepped into my closet. I love all the gray and camel. This wardrobe makes it easy to throw in a color of choice like red or teal.
Diane Drouillard says
The scarf is simply stunning. the wardrobe is a perfect accompaniment.
Whomever wins the scarf is one lucky girl…
thanks for the chance…
Tina says
Great post with wonderful ideas for this beautiful scarf – love the colors! Other than the casual pieces shown in your post, I would wear the scarf with several black dresses and grey dresses that I own.
Maureen says
Love the scarf and how it compliments the classic and casual wardrobe, warming up the black and grey.
Chris in Indy says
I love a neutral-heavy wardrobe at this point in my life, and the gold warms up the black and gray beautifully here. The scarf is beautiful!
Iea says
Oh, WOW! That scarf would fit perfect in the wardrobe I have planned for next season. So beautiful!
Mia says
I love this scarf!! It reminds me of pen and ink drawings. So simple yet so exquisite…
Siobhan says
Beautiful scarf. I’ve been changing my base from black to navy and grey. Haven’t thought of adding camel but I think it would go well with both colours.
Rhinda says
Beautiful scarf! What a fun read. I always enjoy your blog Janice…so creative and educational.
Janicia says
As always lovely combinations. Love the gray outfits.
Katherine Douglass says
This wardrobe is so simple and elegant. The scarf gives it just the right amount of embellishment.
Leslie says
Although subtle, this scarf is very striking. I love it especially with the columns of black and gray.
Nadia says
I have a new beige cardigan-blazer that would be perfectly complemented by this beautiful scarf. I love all the combinations you’ve put together. I get such good ideas from your posts.
Amy Christensen says
I love how you combined these colors for such an exquisite capsule wardrobe. So classic, fresh and very wearable in any situation. Thanks for the inspiration! – Amy
https://stylingrannymama.com/
Anna says
Wonderful neutrals. Totally classic. Scarf will go with my favorite strand of pearls!
Melissa says
Janice you have done it again! Love it all and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Melissa
Kari Lanz says
This looks like the perfect winter travel wardrobe. The scarf is beautiful and will go with so many rhings!
Linda Wilson says
This scarf would go beautifully with my neutral wardrobe, and carry me through the holidays in style!
Laura says
How lovely! Such a calm combination.
Noelle says
What a great scarf! It would bring so many items from my closet together into an elegant coordinated look. Great choice.
Lucy says
I like the neutral colors of this lovely scarf. While camel is not my color, the grays, ivories, and blacks would complement my gray hair. Thank you for your posts. I love the stories behind them.
Yvonne says
This scarf beautiful! It embodies what is mostly in my wardrobe!
eva says
I just put on my column for a long day at work–so easy! Thanks!
Beth True says
So Beautiful! Yes, please give me a chance at the scarf give-away,
lilbear says
Hurray for the OOK Show! I’ve been to every one since they started and am very excited that it’s back this year. This lady might consider some tshirts tho – it gets really warm in there! ?.
Sharon says
Lovely combination of warm and cool colours in this capsule which I do like, but as a ‘light/cool summer’, I think the scarf could adapt to a capsule with mid to light rose beige instead of the camel, dark charcoal or blackberry instead of black or dark brown and I would also change the mid grey to a taupe grey with one or two soft white pieces. My jewellery would also be silver with some polished stones that you would see on a beach.
LisaP says
Oooh this is just delightful! I really love everything about this. Oddly enough, I have versions of quite a few of these things already in my closet!
Jenny B says
So lovely! I like that this color palettes has a soothing sense to fit, and yet I can imagine making some dramatic statements wit it too.
Beth T says
Thanks for providing more mid-week inspiration. It’s a lovely scarf. I have debated over something similar but wondered if it would look too wan on me. It would work with all the grey I wear and my ash brown hair now has natural grey and white highlights at the side. My hairdresser tells me that it is still quite brown at the back.
I’ve not yet had the courage to put a grey jumper and taupe (my soft grey-brown) trousers together but this would bring it together nicely with an ivory top. Just the colour scheme for a grey day in the UK when wearing any accent colour just seems too much. Or for those days when you want to merge into the background. Though today is a lovely bright sunny day!
The look back from November 17 2015 is great too and if fellow readers wish to find the associated look back, it’s dated November 11 2015. There Janice has provided a detailed description of the steps to building a Whatever’s Clean wardrobe – such great analysis. Read the two together to see the difference between the light and dark wardrobes using the same scarf. Amazing.
.
Sheila says
Thank you Beth! Added to my pinterest board of (most) TVF!
Brenda K Benson says
Fabulous bit of color makes this elegant, timeless capsule refreshing and modern. The scarf is just outstanding! I appreciate the mix of textures too. Such a beautiful combination – thank you!
Mary E says
WOW! This wardrobe does appeal to me. It would get me through a gray winter.
Lori says
Another gorgeous combination! Grey has become my staple along with the ever trusty black. I love how the camel addition warms everything up. I need to add more of that to my wardrobe. Thank you for the opportunity to win the scarf. It’s stunning!
miss agnes says
This scarf is absolutely gorgeous, and it would go with a lot of my clothes.
Thanks for these wonderful giveaways.
Betsy P Cornell says
Do you know that I have a whole Pinterest file just on your posts? It’s a joy to read your vingettes and see what you’ve put together. I love this neutral look! Thanks for all you do to keep our email inboxes so happy!
Beth T says
So have I, divided into sections.
Jan Krass says
What a classic scarf–in color and pattern!
Nancy Lipham says
My favorite neutrals!! I have a bracelet that will be perfect with each piece.
Martine says
Very harmonious! A lovely capsule. Like some others readers, these days I crave neutrals to glue my wardrobe together.
MamaSquirrel says
Creativity and discipline: a beautiful way to demonstrate the two together!
vi herron says
i love this scarf too, i’m starting to lean towards those colors in my daily wardrobe.
i just also started a ‘show only’ wardrobe. to wear to artist receptions (i’m an artist) as i’m starting to get a bit of recognition for my work.
Nonchi says
Such a good idea to have figured out some outfits for these kinds of work events.
You can just turn up and be and not worry if you look ok / appropriate/ “selling yourself and brand” enough. Keeps the focus on your work which is where you want it to be.
Victoria Malsz says
This scarf and color combination makes me think about adding a touch of camel to my very black/grey/white wardrobe. As always, you inject thoughtful additions. Thank you for all you do for us.
Franki says
Smart wardrobe from head to toe, subtle, quiet and classy.
Julie Nelson says
Love the colors in this scarf from Echo, also look forward to all of your posts. Love the great ideas!
Laurie says
That scarf is gorgeous. I love how you have used it to bring this wardrobe together. It really is quite an elegant wardrobe. Personally I prefer more color and contrast, but I enjoy how this looks on the page.
Ezzy says
Totally agree! Very classy and elegant, and I enjoy how it looks on paper… but I feel like it would work for me for ~1 week. :) So beautiful to see though!!!
Chris Schwab says
So inspiring! I have struggled with gray combined with the golden color you demonstrate, but it works so well in this. Can’t wait to get home this evening and have another play with my wardrobe.
M. Moran says
Have only recently found TVF and check it out every chance I get, including past posts. The post today is so refined and polished. Though I am more of a navy than black girl, I did just order black jeans today as my “second neutral” in my wardrobe. Maybe I should have looked at camel…
Doroth says
As I debate the color pallet to move toward, I find these colors are very comfortable and do not make you wonder if your color combination makes you stand out. At this time in my life, I want to look “put together well” instead of making a statement. I love the hat!
Ann Schutt says
I’m always happy to realize it is Monday, Wednesday or Friday morning! The scarf is lovely and would go well with my favorite gray columns. I’ve learned so much from your work!
Jackie Katz says
This is a stunning scarf and wardrobe.
AK says
There is no such thing as too many scarves. I have an entire drawer full, some going back 35 years. I wear them all. This Echo scarf is the very definition of elegance.
Beth T says
Perhaps Janice should run a competition to see how many scarves we all have. I have enough to fill 2 or 3 large drawers. I swap them round every six months, keeping the rest in a large sack.
Mary Ann says
ABSOLUTELY love everything about this wardrobe.
Pam Tipton says
Love the column of gray as well as the column of black. So smart!
Cyd Jameson says
The scarf is absolutely stunning. The pieces and colours you chose to go with it are classy and elegant. I am looking to streamline my wardrobe with pieces that work together and are both comfortable and polished. You have given me some great ideas. Thank you.
Molly says
How would you dress an hourglass body?
Beth T says
You can wear almost any style but everything has to be in proportion to balance your bust and hips – v-necks, peplums, wrap-styles, short jackets and tops that finish at or just below your waist, high-waisted and/or loose trousers. Wear fitted clothes that emphasise your waist. Wear a belt or have detail at the waist. Dresses should be fitted from bust to waist, at least. Hope that helps.
Rebecca B says
It is a beautiful scarf and I love the way you have combined it with warm and cool neutrals!
Mary says
All your wardrobes are wonderful. This one is especially calming to my eye. Thank you once again for all your hard work. I can’t even begin to express how much I have learned from reading TVF over the years.
Kimberly Davis says
I found the Vivienne Files fairly recently and I love your work! You make online shopping so much easier in these challenging times. I live in the Chicago suburbs so I wear a lot of black and gray during the winter but love a pop of color, especially around my face. I love scarves and this one would make a perfect addition to my wardrobe.
Leigh Cain says
It’s lovely, thank you for sharing.
Twylt3 says
Love these colors for travel especially. I actually have pondered about getting that scarf. Thanks for your wonderful posts I look forward to them every Monday Wednesday and Friday.
Debbie Horen says
Absolutely gorgeous! This is the main color palette I always use when traveling.
Jenifer Conkling says
This scarf is beautiful and I love black, tan, and ivory. I have a closet that proves this love.
beth byrd says
Oh what a gorgeous color palette! And that scarf!! Beautiful in every way.
Just for fun, I’d add a touch of bright coral — perhaps with the gloves or socks or bag — on those days when I need to shake things up.
Leslie says
Stunning and inspiring! Thank you for this!
Kathy Ruck says
Love this scarf – I like how it is complex and simple at the same time – like me :)
The design and colours are soothing to me. Would be a welcome addition to a neutral wardrobe.
Jeanne says
I think this may be my favorite combination. It’s amazing how you make this work. That scarf is all that.
Sharon Randall says
Swooning–my absolute favorite palette of colors for travel–love what you’ve done with the outfits!
ProfP says
A very elegant color scheme, so the heroine does not need to wear formal clothes to look put together.
Caryn says
Through your guidance, I’ve added leopard, red and brown to my black, beige and white/ivory wardrobe. This grouping has opened my eyes to gray, a color I haven’t considered and don’t have in my closet. Looks like there’s a gray French 5 in my future!
Shirley MacDonald says
This is a very rich looking color combination!
Melissa Rydjeski says
This is one of my favorite wardrobes. It is just my style!
Janet says
What a lovely wardrobe. I am soon to be returning to a workplace with a “dressy side of business casual” dress code and this could be a great starting point! I’ve spent the last five years in jeans, tee shirts and sweatshirts so I need to start over.
Valla says
Beautiful as always! If I’m lucky enough to win the scarf, it might ? go to my daughter, whose neutral is gray.
Joen says
Such cozy colors for classic sophisticated style!
Rebecca Johnson says
Oh, my, this is a beautiful scarf! My fall/winter wardrobe is based on these colors and they compliment my silver hair. I love this capsule so much!
Lily says
Oooh! Pick me! Bookmarking this one. Also, I have to go to the One of a Kind Show! Thanks for the heads up.
Lisa V. says
This looks like my closet…or at least what I wish my closet looked like! Love that scarf!
Marlene Sullivan says
Scarf is lovely and what a great wardrobe for travel!
rebecca a says
I love the way this wardrobe looks so comfortable and elegant at the same time! I never felt comfortable wearing white; but I love the way ivory is used. More please!!
Sally in St Paul says
I would love to see this wardrobe accessorized with some mixed gold/silver pieces as it’s another warm + cool capsule…and yes, I just like the mixed metal look.
For myself, I would jettison the warm camel (though not the ivory) and substitute a semi-neutral/colored neutral like teal or burgundy. The way the capsule is built from neutral columns makes this kind of tweaking very easy!
Meg Bever says
I would love to meet this woman and I would buy her jewelry in a heartbeat! The scarf is beautiful and so it the whole wardrobe!
Peggy E. says
Beautiful use of soft grey with warmth. I wear a lot more of those colors as I’ve gone white. Some days it’s silver jewelry, sometimes gold. The scarf Is lovely!
Amy says
Dear Janice, The wardrobe is so beautiful, eventhough it’s not for my coloring. I do love camel with gold and pearls. The scarf is truly exquisite! I know a very special young lady with whom I could share it, should I be the lucky one. Thank you for all you do, have a wonderful day!
Margery says
It’s perfection. I’ve always loved the combination of grey with a twist of beige or camel tones.
Rosetta says
Lovely scarf! Would be a good accessory for my new neutral-based wardrobe.
Françoise says
Hello and thank you Janice, I would indeed love to meet this designer! I fine her selection very successful
And this scarf ….
Sharon Clark says
I could travel for weeks with this wardrobe. The colour palette is fabulous.
Cheryll says
Until I discovered your blog several years ago, I did not wear scarves, well except wooly ones wrapping my face in bitterly cold weather! Enter a trip to Paris then to Rome, and scarves in every stall along the Seine, a little shop in a village outside of Rome, well, let me just say a few beauties came home with me and I wear them all the time. This beauty caught my attention immediately. The colors, they are me. My wardrobe has evolved into mostly neutrals with a colorful pop now and then and it serves me well because I don’t fuss when dressing, everything (for the most part) will compliment the other. Quite frankly, that is thanks to you. I am eyeing the J. Crew camel sweater too, oh my!
MJ says
This scarf’s combo of black with white and cream is genius! Love the jacket with black shirt matching the boots!
Karen Weitzman says
I absolutely love this scarf. It would be such a great addition to my wardrobe.
Wendy says
I appreciate the story and how it explains the heroine’s wardrobe focus. This wardrobe strikes me as being quite rare here: it has four colours in equal proportions. Tricky but nicely done!
Sherry B says
I love the neutral palette of this scarf. Your collections are always beautiful, classic and timeless. I had never heard of a capsule wardrobe until I began to follow your blog. So many great ideas not just for travel, but for seasonal changes, holiday or special occasions and always lots of choices both high and mid priced. Thank you for the chance to win!
Trudy says
What a beautiful scarf!!! It would fit right in with my wardrobe.
Donna says
Love these combinations! All items, including the beautiful scarf, work for me as I’ve let my hair go silver.
Susan Rohricht says
Love it! I love how the camel warms up the cool colours. I’d wear that on top, closest to my face. Great accessory picks as well.
Shirla says
Love the scarf! Gray has always been my favorite neutral!
Tricia Bures says
This is the wardrobe combinations I’ve been working towards! My strawberry blonde hair is now silvery gray to white, and these colors really work for me. This scarf ties them all together beautifully. This has been a real learning process for me, and your help has been awesome! Thanks for making the process so much easier for this old lady.
Vivien says
Camel/tan a bit too warm toned for me but lovely! Would love to see some cool, “winter” pallet capsules with bright pure hues.
Beth says
Love this pallet! Fingers crossed for the scarf! Just wondering if anyone had purchased the J Crew cardigan Blazer in the walnut color? I’ve been eyeing it, but I saw a few customer reviews that say that walnut is more of a drab brown in person. Anyone able to shed some light?
Jo Ann Setliff says
great for cold weather
Danielle says
In theory, I love these combos of neutrals, but IRL I always find myself adding some color. And oh, those Splendid boots! If only they came in wide.
Linda E says
All your combos are spot on. Even if some aren’t in my color palette I usually get a tip or two to work into my own wardrobe! Thanks for everything!
Robyn says
I’m so very inspired by the places you use to set a wardrobe.
I am reluctantly slouching into my mid fifties, from decades of being the “hippie girl.”
My silhouette might look different from what you show (I love boho and A-line skirts, for example. Trousers are for work only), but your advice is keeping me from looking like Cruising Granny.
I am a put together Granny Woodstock instead. Maybe I can ride life out on this look. :)
Ingrid Abelen says
My favorite colours. My first capsule started with these colours. This scarf would be the cherry on the pie, so lovely
Cherry Cross says
I have just bought a pair of beige jeans in a sale. These with my black jumper and blazer would look stunning with this scarf or similar. Thank you Janice you always inspire. Xx
Barbara Evans says
That color combo is 100% me!
Stephanie Bailey says
Wow! So pretty! I often don’t think of combining gold tones with gray, love the warm/cool combination!
Hiluhilu says
Love that scarf! The colors are great together, and the combo of paisley and stripes gives a more contemporary look.
Christina McCallum says
I love the neutrals! So pretty and as always, inspiring.
Amelia in UK says
Long-time lurker, coming out of the woodwork here because that scarf could have been designed for my own favourite winter hat!! (It’s a very plain wool fedora: hatband is black, or rather what some hosiery companies would call “Nearly Black”; crown is ivory/cream; and brim (both upper- and under-side) is a medium charcoal-grey).
I love the hat in today’s wardrobe, though. Awfully tempting…
Elizabeth says
I love this scarf and this heroine. I believe a silk scarf is the traditional gift for the 48th wedding anniversary, which it is for me today!
Lorrie Orr says
That’s a gorgeous scarf! I would steer away from the camel colour for myself, but love this subtle wardrobe.
Please don’t include me in the giveaway, as I won a lovely KathKath scarf several years ago. I love wearing it!
Leslie Beaudette says
Beautiful scarf and wardrobe. The color scheme is right in my comfort zone
Beth McHugh says
Love this pallet! Fingers crossed on the scarf!
Kamilla says
The colours are stunning!
Linda says
Thanks for the opportunity! Love the wardrobe and scarf.
Julie says
Such a lovely effect with the four colors providing an intricate mosaic in the scarf. Your vision is always inspiring and I have followed TVF for years, albeit quietly. But the time has come to join the conversation with all the wonderful ideas that are shared. Thank you for all the beauty and helping us all find our own way to incorporate it into our everyday lives!
Cece says
Love this color combination. Versatile and simple elegance.
Margaret Louise Tylus says
Janice, Whar a great scarf, all neutral colors. This is a brilliant capsule. I could be very happy with this for a very long time. Accent colors would probably migrate in over time. Can’t think of any color that wouldn’t fit in. Another brilliant post!
V says
So elegant! I love seeing how this all comes together
Leslie says
It’s a fabulous scarf! love with black or camel
Krasna says
If I’d had this wardrobe when I was living and working in Chicago, I might not have left. Only if I had every single item–it’s perfect. How can neutrals become a statement? Like this.
Amy says
Love the One of a Kind Show— though as much as I love your blog! Thanks for the thoughtful attention to detail and bountiful inspiration. Here’s to making the most of the Chicago winter!
Amy says
*not as much as I love your blog. Whoops!
Michelle says
This wardrobe is lovely!
Cheryl says
Lovely scarf! I really enjoy your posts and anxiously await them. :)
Helen Flatley says
So inspiring. Reminds me that less can be more.
Jaimee says
This is beautiful! It’s exactly the right touch to draw together pretty much every clothing piece I own.
Elke says
What another stunning scarf. Love the colours.
Keli says
Wonderful post as always.
The scarf is gorgeous and the heroine’s wardrobe inspired. Thanks for hosting the giveaway.
Carina says
Love this scarf. It is very similar to a vintage scarf left to me by my great aunt. My scarf is now too fragile to wear so this would become a cherished replacement.
I am a long time lurker and this my first comment. Thank you for your time and effort week in and week out.
Michelle D says
Oh, this is beautiful, and those black boots! Perfect. Thank you for putting together another great combination Janice.
Mary G says
You always choose such exquisite scarves. This one is truly beautiful.
Teri says
I am so grateful for this blog and for this group! Today, I looked in the mirror and suddenly realized that several days this week I have felt like I looked pretty decent. I think reading this three times a week is really inspiring me to take better charge of myself. And the underlying message I am hearing is. “You can do this!” Repeated over and over again! Thank you all!
It’s really not a trivial thing to be helping each other to be ready and prepared to contribute to life, and bring more light, love, and order into the world! ? ?
Beata says
Beautiful colors. 4 neutral straight from my closet, since many years. I think they are equally great in winter and summer. And I think they look just as beautiful for women of all ages. After years of wearing mostly black now I prefer lighter colours but I wonder can we use sometimes black as an accent colour? I would love to see a more formal and “dressy” proposal in these colors. Janice, I read and love your heroines’ stories, since years. Now in distant Warsaw, in Poland, they are moments of retreat for me, as a doctor in pandemic times. And inspiration, such as this wonderful scarf. And pearls, for me it is “comfort” jewelry. I wear it always in difficult, demanding moments, for support.
Maren V. says
Love the scarf and the resulting wardrobe. This is a top 10!
Laurie Fite says
Although I am supposed to stay away from browns, this wardrobe looks like my closet colors with blue substitutes for the camel. Love it and the scarf is perfect! Thank you for doing so much shopping legwork for me!
Mary Antenore says
This scarf has all of my favorite colors. I’ve been debating about purchasing that fair isle sweater, I may finally pull the trigger now that I see it in this capsule.
Cammy says
Oooh–I LOVE that scarf! The outfits are delicious!
Merlin says
This scarf is so beautiful. I would wear it almost every day.
Cindylou says
This is one of your best posts. The combination of colors are so versatile. They’re neutral but not drab. My hair is silver now and this scarf would go perfectly with my black capsule and gray pieces. Bravo!
Judith T. says
Beautiful post and scarf. Thank you so much for the opportunity.
Wendy says
This color story speaks to me. I LOVE the cardigan! I think I’m going to pull the trigger and snag one.
Vicki says
That scarf is beautiful. ❤ The wardrobe is stunning. Off to check out a few pieces for myself. I do wish I could pack such a lovely suitcase.
Michelle says
This scarf will look amazing with all the clothes I have purchased after seeing your post
Kathryn Livermore says
Love the beautiful wardrobe and the scarf, which brightens up the neutrals.
cathy barker says
A beautiful and elegant colour combination.
Nancy Orlando says
Lovely scarf, beautiful palette.
Caragh says
Understated and elegant! Beautiful. All best wishes!
teri says
Love a great paisley! sometimes hard to find. this one is an accent AND a neutral.
Wendy says
Janice, this may be a strange request. You are extremely adept at shopping online.
What are your tricks? Do you search on certain sites? Do you search from Google?
I have no idea of how this is done but I feel I must begin.
If you’ve already blogged on this subject, could you please provide the link?
Many thanks!
Wendy
PS. My navy, teal and grey wardrobe has served me very well in Poland. Our trip is winding down. My only regret is that I should have brought a couple more long sleeved tees. Not bad! Your help made all the difference!
Teresa in Sac says
Beautiful capsule in near-perfect colors! Thanks for your good eye and interesting stories ?
Cindy D says
This is such a beautiful and balanced selection. Not colors that will work for me, but I can see my daughter and daughter-in-law shining in this palette.
I’ve been following TVF for a while now, studying the different approaches you take, learning & gleaning from your “Everything” snapshots. Slowly culling all those purchase mistakes… that just don’t have much mileage. AND, breathing a sigh of relief when yet another beautiful scarf or bracelet isn’t available in colors that work for me …. because then I keep focused on building the columns and core pieces. But, oh, I do have a weakness for scarves!!
Kathryn says
I didn’t enter for the last one, but this palette is more my speed. I have a lot that would go with this scarf…
Evaline says
I tend to gravitate towards jewel tones, but this wardrobe is so artistically put together…really lovely. And of course it includes a gorgeous scarf that I would love to wear.
Ann Hicks says
I am wearing those colors right now! Beautiful.
Kathleen Ognibene says
I love the colors and pattern of this scarf. Your choices of separates to pair with it is fully simpatico with my wardrobe, and perfect for winter travel.
nancyo says
my most common travel capsule is a higher contrast version of this: white, black, dark charcoal, and a deeper tan in the caramel-to-cognac range. Often with denim. This scarf could complement that wardrobe well. – nancyo
Irene says
I love these colors! I find it hard to put together a wardrobe that doesn’t include black!
Anne Coletta says
One of my favorite color combinations – simply, but beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Liz lively says
Lovely, just lovely. And in “my” colors
Dee says
This is one of my favorite color combinations. Now I’m going to look at Echo & Narcissus since I also adore the Pre-Raphaelites.
Can you do more of their works please?
Hannah says
That scarf is so pretty!
Kathleen Ognibene says
I love how this scarf combines with the choices you pulled together. My fall wardrobe includes many of these pieces. Thanks for the inspiration.
