Probably my favorite painting, if not necessarily my favorite wardrobe; my favorite wardrobe changes hourly!
She’s pretty well stocked with tops – basic and not!
And yes, she already has THREE dresses, as well as a matching blouse and skirt…
She has all of the best scarves, and I covet her earrings…
Her shoes and bags cover her needs pretty thoroughly…
But this is – hands down – the heroine with the dressiest life. And she’s facing a daunting onslaught of holiday activities, including quite a few that are work-related!
So she’s getting what she needs. A suit, two dressy tops, metallic flats, and festive jewelry! She’s going to sort out what she’s wearing for EACH event, and live with it through to the New Year… No second-guessing!
Snowflake earrings – Charter Club; embellished white shirt – J.Crew; black velvet blazer – J.Crew; brooch – Heidi Daus; embroidered blouse – NIZA; black velvet pants – J.Crew; ballet flats – Naturalizer
She’s clearly got a few outfits possible from JUST her new purchases, but let’s see what other options she has:
Does anybody else have absolutely jammed, dressy schedules coming up? Back in the 80s I felt like the entire decade was one long party, but these days my friends don’t splash out like this…

p.s. Ten years ago, I started with one of the most beautiful paintings I’ve ever shown on The Vivienne Files. I’m not convinced that it’s great for a wardrobe, but it’s so lovely…
Like this wardrobe? Save it to Pinterest!
I am just completely enamored of this pink and orange. I love that you’ve added in the grounding effect that black has too! As someone who just can’t wear an all white look, and only rarely wears white pants even in summer (German Shepherds’ feet prints happen in five minute), I truly appreciate subbing in the black.
I own last year’s version of the embellished J. Crew blouse and I can attest that it’s well made and surprisingly adaptable. Last year, I wore it with dark denim, a black sweater vest and a big, plaid shawl to a casual holiday gathering. It transforms more casual outfits!
Thank you, Janice. I hope you are starting to feel a bit better. Ribs just take FOREVER.
