2. The black dress is for afternoons.
3. The fuchsia-red jacket. With all the black dresses it can be nice with some colour for change.
4. The navy blue ski-pants should be made of water-proofed gabardine with a jacket in the same fabric or in poplin in a "natural" colour.

3. The navy blue suit should be simple and strict.
4. The afternoon dress in red looks good both with white ann blue.
5. The summer wardrobe can be topped off with a combined housedress/beachdress in a nice cotton fabric.
