Back to the roots of the Vivienne Files – part 4

the following is a direct quote from the original Je Ne Sais Quoi discussion group postings I made regarding my friend Vivienne:

Someone asked me what Vivienne thinks of my wardrobe – to put it mildly she thinks I’m 
crazy! Admittedly, she has never actually been in my apartment and seen the beautiful 
arrangement (by color) of my bounty, and I HAVE seen her apartment (but not her closet) 
but she assures me that she has about 4 linear feet of hanging space. (Well okay, slightly 
more than a meter)
 
But she thinks that I’m a genius packer – the last 2 trips I’ve made to Paris on business, she 
has come over to my hotel with me and hung out while I unpacked, pressed and otherwise 
got my act together. She describes her single-season work wardrobe as being very much 
like my 2 business weeks packing array – as follows:
 
2 pair black pants – one plain, one a relatively dressy (but still wearable for day) fabric
2 black skirts – same thing
1 black twinset
1 red twinset
1 black and cream tweed twinset (silk)
2 cashmere turtlenecks (maybe red and gray, or charcoal and b&w tweed)
black boiled wool jumper
2 cashmere crewnecks (turquoise and charcoal, usually)
 
I try to pack about 14 pieces of clothing for any trip that is two weeks or more.
