It's the red sweater again. This time as a layer over my polka dot popover. Below are three other ways I've worn this sweater. I always seem to wear it with black but I could just as easily create this same outfit and the one below with the  pencil skirt with identical pieces in navy. Or pair it with camel or khaki or tan or...well, you get the idea. I'd say it's a pretty versatile piece.

Have you ever participated in a capsule wardrobe? There's a great explain of capsule wardrobe HERE. I sort of did that after completing my 30x30 remix for the fall season but I could not commit to just 37 pieces or even 44 or any arbitrary number that included shoes. 30x30 was tough trying to include a work wardrobe and an off duty wardrobe. So I think I basically came up with 40-50 work wear pieces that I worked through and this red sweater was one of them. So was the polka dot popover and the cobalt pants that you've seen the last three months. I'm still creating outfits from that capsule. I just didn't put it out here that I was doing that because I knew I'd deviate from it some. Our weather is too crazy as well. I doubt I could commit to a "winter" wardrobe from Jan. to March. It was 70 degrees today and by March I may have shorts out. Who knows? I was surprised that I started needing the sweaters sooner than I thought in the Oct-Dec period. All that said, it did certainly stop the shopping the last couple of months and makes life much easier to have a list of outfits to go to when I'm ready to pick an outfit for the day. What are your thoughts on capsules or wardrobe planning?

One more thing....that fur collar sweater is for sale on Poshmark if you are interested.

I'm late posting today because I've been busy with a big personal project. I think I keep alluding to this and I promise I'll tell all as soon as I can. As for this outfit, I've seen this sweater and turtleneck on way too many bloggers so I caved back during Black Friday and ordered these pieces with some rewards. For the longest time, I did not need many sweaters but the past couple of winters, this one included, have seemed colder and I need sweaters! Maybe it's because I'm getting older.

 

I wore this to church Sunday. I didn't want to go in jeans (but sometimes do) so I thought denim trousers would be a slight step up. They have a subtle pinstripe in them so stripes and pinstripes it is.

I know that graphic sweaters and birds are not as popular as they used to be but I think they are still fun to wear. I've been waiting for an opportunity to pair mine with this plaid shirt. Saturday was that opportunity. I wore it with the jeans and my hiking shoes because I knew I would be on my feet for a few hours and needed comfort. Otherwise, booties would have been my footwear choice.

I pretty much copied this look from Lindsey at Thrift and Shout and that's what I meant to do when I pinned it. I went with a different necklace and my pants are different but still the same color family. I still get the most excited when I see something I can repeat from what's already in my closet. Seeing new stuff is great, but I like to use what I have.

 Here's a look back to how I wore these pants in the past.

I didn't get this post up this morning like I wanted to. I had issues with my computer. That should be remedied soon because I've got a new one. I've just got to learn it and get some of the contents of the old one transferred over. Anyone using Windows 8.1? I'm a little lost right now.

Hope you all had a good week. Mine has been exhausting but exciting things are in store for us, so hopefully the extra work will be worth it.

About these pants- they don't  have a bit of burgundy/red/oxblood in them but certainly pair well with this color. I got the idea straight from the Loft website.

Both the blazer and sweater are thrifted. I would have never thought to pair these two pieces and colors if it had not been for pinterest. How did we ever get dressed before its conception?

I just don't have much to say this morning. I'm running on fumes because I've been up late the past two nights working on a big project. I'll let you in on it soon.
