I just can't leave this brown/camel/turquoise combo without introducing one more optional piece. 

This is the sleeved, button-front shirt styling I mentioned last week.  Like the animal print, this fabric repeats all 3 core colors from the original grouping.

Below you'll see it work:

   *  as a shirt under the turq jacket, with any of the bottoms,  4 options.

   *  as a stand-alone top with any of the 4 bottoms,  4 options - or 12 options if you consider the choices to tuck it in, tie it at the waist or wear it un-tucked with a skinny belt.

   *  as a shirt-jacket over the shells and cami - brown, camel or turquoise -  with any of the 4 bottoms   12 options.   Those also could be tied or belted, of course ...

  * as a layering piece under the brown shell witheither of the brown bottoms,   2 options

 (I have to admit, I never would have thought of using the shell as a vest, but last month I was teaching a workshop on capsule wardrobing for a group of Texas image consultantsand  one of the participants put this look together.  We all loved it, provided, of course, that the wearer has slim hips!) 

   * layered under the camel shell with any of the brown or camel bottoms.   4 options

That's 26 ways to utilize this single garment ... truly indicative of the way this formula approach explodes with possibilities -- if we just keep our eyes open to see them.  Notice that the print garment becomes a link itself.  We've just finished each look with a simple brass earring to avoid looking cluttered.

Next week we'll introduce a new Core Four and you'll be amazed how many of the existing accent pieces will flow right into it.  See you then ...
