three days, two nights, and one carry-on...

have you ever been frustrated when packing for an upcoming trip, because there are lots of great activities planned, but you're on the way to packing your whole closet and it's only a three-day trip? jana's collection is all about creating wardrobe "capsules", where the pieces work so beautifully together it takes all the stress out of organizing yourself for a trip...

let's take one example so you can see how it works...(Now bear in mind that if the outfits we feature are not your particular color group, don't worry...the concept works throughout the color groups in each collection.)

our example..."paula professional" (portrayed by adena, as a stand-in model), is making a three-day trip to the napa valley for a business conference...the trip starts with the conference, then she's planning to meet a girlfriend for a couple of days of shopping and wine-tasting...

day one
the conference...paula looks put together in her stretch faille pantsuit with jungle print silk blouse...

evening ends with a business casual hospitality hour and dinner...paula removes her jacket and adds the perforated belt with studded brass buckle for an accent...

day two
one-half day of conference left...paula makes good use of the stretch faille pants from the day before, only today she wears the pleats cactus top with the studded belt...

now for an afternoon of shopping with girlfriends...paula switches out the pants for the skin print pants, and adds the jungle print silk blouse from the day before...

cotton blend skin print pant, silk blend jungle print blouse (a great example of mixing prints!)

take a closer look at these pants (what fun!)...



tonight, dinner at one of napa valley's great restaurants...paula can quickly get ready for dinner by switching the skin print pant for the jungle print silk-blend skirt...

day three
winery day...paula and her friend visit several of the wineries in the area...she's cool and comfortable in the jungle print silk-blend skirt, with her white t-shirt and flip flops...

oops! plans have changed...
they decide to stay for one more dinner...paula changes into the skin print pant, pleats top and studded belt, looking once again, put together as on day one...

cotton-blend skin print pant and pleats top, studded belt

while sometimes it is difficult for some of us to wear items more then once in a trip...when you need to pack light - this is an ideal space saver...

let me show you how this can work for you...
