Happy Memorial Day! Sorry I didn't bring you a red, white and blue bar-b-que outfit. I did bring a little white and blue to the blog. I was inspired the this lady to put these pieces together.

 

Hope you are having a fun relaxing day!

My favorite outfits so far from my capsule have been the ones with light pastel spring colors. Of course I still like bright colors, but this palette has been so refreshing and relaxing. This outfit was inspired by this one. 

 

Hope you are having a fabulous week.

A combination of chartreuse, navy, and white with a touch of leopard. Once again, this was inspired by an outfit I found on Pinterest.

 

I've touched on this before but I'd like some serious feedback. What do you think of 30x30 remixes or capsule wardrobes? My fall 30x30 got a good bit of response and interest, but I know some folks get bored with those sorts of things. I played with the idea of a winter capsule but didn't make a real commitment to it. I did create outfits from a core set of items through the winter but never listed them out or made a post of them. I think April would be a good month to do a Spring 30x30 but I have issues with just 30 items to take me through both work and casual weekend wear. I need a capsule of each type of clothing because my weekend wear can be so different from what's allowed at work. So I thought about just a 30 from 30 of work outfits, but that would take us through about 6 weeks. So then I decided that maybe I'd do a Spring Capsule April 1- June 20 that combines about 40-50 pieces of both casual and work wear. I said at the end of the 30x30 that I would not do this with any kind of commitment to a time frame, but I do like the challenge of coming up with new outfits. and I liked having them planned in advance. And I will not include shoes in my limited number of pieces. They are free range. My rules. What do you think? What would you like to see?

 

If I do this, then this is officially day 1 of my capsule because these pieces have made the list so far. And this is no April fool's joke. Seriously, what would you like to see here?

I loved how this outfit turned out. I'm not so in love with the photos. I was so tired last week and it shows so much in these photos. I didn't even take quality photos that day- they were way off focus and I just didn't feel like spending much time on them ( I take them myself with a tripod and remote). So you get a limited number of photos. I am happy to report that this Monday is starting off much better and I am feeling better.

 

Below are three other ways I've worn this top. Navy plays well with so many other colors.

Sometimes all you need are some simple black and white pieces to quickly put together an outfit. As much as I love bright colors, I will always love a black and white combo. What's your favorite color combination?

White blazer- just for summer?

Blazer- Ann Klein via Lord and Taylor (similar); blouse- TJMaxx (similar);

pants- JCPenney; shoes- Payless;

necklaces- vintage, ebay, Target

 I have shopped all summer for a white blazer. The last one I had was not really comfortable and it got a stain on it that I couldn't get out so I got rid of it. I was about to give up. All the blazers were either not the right fit or had three quarter or ruched sleeves. I wanted plain long sleeves. And then I found this one. And for just a little over $29! SOLD!

 

I put this outfit together based on this one I have pinned:

 

 

I created the necklace look with three chains I had on hand. One is doubled around my neck because it' super long.

 

I have lots of outfits I want to wear with a white blazer, but I some of them will have to wait until the other pieces get altered, like my red skirt- it's too big now.  And should I wait until next summer season? Most of the rules say you can wear white into the winter if you pair it with dark colors. Which "rule" do you adhere to?

Who knew white would be so hard to photograph? Who knew white on white would look so good? Not me. During that slump when I turned to Pinterest for inspiration, I found these looks which inspired my look above.

I haven't worn this white blazer nearly enough. You would think that a white blazer would be a must have item, yet I don't really reach for it much. Hmm... maybe I should work on that.
