I always advocate people go with their instincts but also seek an expert’s advice so I decided to see what tips Jane might have for me.  In no time Jane gave me some fabulous ideas for putting together and accessorizing my wardrobe so it reflected my personality and made a strong statement about my own style.

Jane featured my experience in her Fall newsletter that was emailed today.  Thanks Jane!

In the red: apparently scarlet pieces are a sign of the recession

Question:

I read in last week’s Guardian that it’s necklines, not hemlines, that reflect the world’s economy. Are there any other fashion signs about global finances?

Yves Klein: The Artist at Work

Driving past hundreds of people gave me a sense of styles and colors but as my driver navigated the hundreds of cars, buses, mini cabs, moped riders and pedestrians in the streets it was impossible to get a picture that was in focus. Luckily when I walked about the grounds of the Tomb I was able to snap a few good shots.

These two young women happily posed to show off their saris. You can see my driver in the background. He is wearing a combination I saw on many men– classic colored slacks with a boldly colored shirts although the colors worn by the men in general are not as intense as those worn by the women.

Even young boys wore jeans or classic colored slacks with lots of color in their shirts or sweaters.

Two more young women who had seemed as interested in what I was wearing as I was in their wardrobe choices. Perhaps they were wondering why I had chosen navy blue and white.

Young and old alike gave me a show with their intensely colored saris.

I’m not sure why most of the local visitors to Humayun’s Tomb were women. Possibly they came with a group of men that were playing cricket in the field just outside the grounds.

I snapped my own shot of this group picture and my doing so seems to have distracted a few of the women in the top row.

Here two women have paired their traditional sari with denim jackets mixing the looks of east and west.
