Wonderful post, Jen! I love the idea that "The way we adorn ourselves should be purposeful, even if we lack resources." Several years ago, I learned my "style archetype" in order to edit my wardrobe and simplify the process of choosing what to wear. It's made things easier. Have a beautiful time in Italy!
Hi Jen, this is really thought provoking. I like your idea of monochrome instead of like a strict uniform which makes me think of Steve Jobs and Karl Lagerfeld - two ends of the fashion spectrum. Good luck in Italy, sounds like a blast.
"She wanted to keep her message clear and consistent, and her dress emphasized this intention." The person that brings this to mind for me is Rachel Maddow. I've wondered about that for a while: Whether she made the decision for a monochromatic appearance, or her handlers at MSNBC. Either way, it does exude equilibrium. I'm going to be curious to hear how it goes for you, Jen!

I'll have to look up this style archetype! Thank you so much - I can't wait.

Oh yes, the black turtleneck. I had to look up Lagerfeld ... it takes a special commitment to fashion to align one's self to the stiff collar.

Oh, great example! Somehow I think (hope) she makes this decision for herself. Thanks for reading, Nancy!
