I’ve thought about this a lot, and have written about it in the past. Maybe these posts will be helpful?

A Summer Common Wardrobe – a fairly casual warm-weather wardrobe in black and white
Start with a Bird: Northern Flicker – a Four by Four Wardrobe in black, beige, orange and green, including shorts and sleeveless tops.
Start with Art: “A Mysterious Hand Leads to Another Path” by Jan Toorop – a collection of warm-weather outfits in soft, powdery colors, that make a great-looking wardrobe when assembled together.
Four by Four: Summer at the Shore – khaki and white wardrobe, with a number of color accents. This would be a great starting point for someone with NOTHING to wear for warm weather.

I received a package from across the sea today–a beautiful scarf from Kathkath! It's even better in person–many, many thanks. I'm wearing it as I grade the last of my exams–a bit of beauty.

I'm not actually going anywhere warmer for the winter because warmer is apparently staying right here in Missouri. I have the window open and a fan blowing, now. The funny thing is that I laid in a supply of inexpensive v-neck, long sleeve tops to carry me through the winter, in colors I picked up from your accent color vignettes. I suspect I'll be layering and unlayering myself all season.
