She made a wardrobe based on Le grand bois painting. I disagree with her color choices.
To me, this is green and brown with golden accents. The main color (60%) is the forest greens, the 30% is the brown of the tree bark, and the accent is the golden yellow. Yes, there is a dash of blue, but it's more teal and purple. I am aware of the optical illusion that makes the painting appear more blue than it in reality is - it's framed by the orange/golden yellow colors that are the contrast color of blue. Nevertheless, in reality there isn't that much actual blue in the painting, and in my mind should be used as an additional color in prints and accessories
For example, I have here four scarves that would work beautifully with this color scheme.
It's two Hermes, Emily Carter's Tropical Toucans
and a generic green scarf sold on many sites under many names.
So, on with the wardrobe :-)
Now, Janice has created her wardrobe for a writer on a retreat, closed off the community, so no scarves, and just casual, comfortable clothes. I would skip the earrings, though :-D
Because of this, I don't think a silk scarf would work that well, let's give her a long winter scarf.
This whole pile of scarves would be nice :-D
I basically kept only the dark grey pants and those olive green boots - I love them. I replaced the blue with olive green and the greys with that taupe/cocoa brown. I chose a yellow scarf, hat, and gloves, and I love those yellow shoes. My pieces are a bit more feminine. I also chose a longer coat, so that she can wear it over the long cardigan.
