The teal tee shirt and scarf will be easy to wear with either pair of trousers, with or without the cardigan, and with either pair of shoes. The shine of the silk tee will give you a bit of dressiness, if that turns out to be something that’s necessary.

As is pretty normal with these four packs, you have quite a few ways to wear the limited number of garments you have with you. A little bit of choice is always comforting!
For what it's worth, I see a bright pink, also. That Hermes scarf is a beauty. Love the taupe mixed with the soft green. Again, lots of good ideas. Why I ever thought that I needed 250 garments in my closet to dres well, I cannot recall. Have a wonderful weekend.
Good morning Cornelia! :-)
The hot pink is a trick your mind plays from the juxtapostion of the mauve and berry colours in the scarf, Janice. This is a lovely capsule. I find myself moving towards that navy blue- taupe/beige combination as I try to build a new work wardrobe. I love the connection between the scarf and the earrings. Everything is sooo well thought out with you.
Could someone help me?? I have lots of ankle boots. I want to wear them. I cannot see how to wear the ankle boots with that narrower ankle taupe trouser. Has anyone seen a photo that would show a similar shape pant with an ankle boot (flat or heeled or wedge – I have all types ;-) I'm ok with ankle boots and a casual rolled up pant or boyfriend jean. I'm ok with an ankle boot under a wider trouser (like the navy pant here) and am trying to get myself to wear them with knee length skirts or dresses (that's a style reach for me). Any links of photos to show how that narrow pant looks?
I've seen the pant hem being rolled to show a sliver of skin…
Hmm… I have several pairs of ankle boots and 'shooties' or shoe-booties. I wear them everything! I wear them quite happily with narrow cut work trousers and with skinny jeans in the weekend. I don't have any pics, sorry, but I'm sure the internet has many options to demonstrate how it can look.
I haven't been able to find anything on the internet other than rolled pants above an ankle boot or skirts with ankle boots. My google-fu has failed, which is why I asked for help. Are you doing that with your narrow trouser, or wearing the trouser outside the boot, or tucking in?
I do either, depending on how wide the leg of the pants are. If they tuck in side, I do so – pants like slouch pants from Eileen Fisher work pretty well because the fabric is knit and hangs really close to the ankle. Almost anything else goes over the outside of the pants. There's no really good rule – you just have to experiment to see what feel comfortable for you.
I have a multi-colored paisley scarf that I swear has purple in it. Except when I look really, really, closely, it doesn't. Lovely outfits.
I do own a couple of Missoni scarves. You have inspired me to dig them out.
Oooh, I love it all. I would wear every single thing (not in my real life right now, sahm to 3 kids who would destroy those beautiful garments in no time) but someday I want this exact wardrobe. I'll keep dreaming!
Slightly off topic… I love your pie charts and colors. They make color visualization of where you are headed so easy. I so want to do that when planning/using my own wardrobe. How do you do them? I tried once and failed dismally. Thanks PS love your blog – and amazed at the time and thought put into it!
Hi Jnaice- thanks to you, I think I found a lovely Missoni scarf for my "333" – and sure would be thrilled if you did a post around it.
