I'm still working through this capsule thing I asked about yesterday. I think I have decided to do a capsule from now until June 20. I have chosen 38 work wear pieces. I'm still coming up with casual items and what rules I will subject myself too. Are any you doing any challenges for Spring or even some Spring closet cleaning? Check out Merrick's closet clean out advice.

 

These are three more of the 38 items. I'll try to post the whole capsule of items in one post soon. Lemon yellow, or any form of yellow, is such a popular color this year. I'm glad I invested in this blouse last year. And I'm loving how it looks with grey and black.

Chartreuse and leopard

blouse- JCPenney  option

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?

We had a bit of a cold snap this weekend and I woke up to temperatures of 37 degrees Sunday morning. I know many of you have been suffering far worse than that, but for south Georgia, that's cold. It forced me to come up with one more winter outfit so the boots came out. I previously tried to pull off this shirt and scarf combination with a blazer and pants but I think this works much better this way. You need to see the stripes to appreciate the pattern mix.

Mint for business- two ways

 

scarf- Books a Million  option  option  option

shirt- Forever21 option  option  option

blazer / pants- Limited

shoes- Kenneth Cole Reaction via TJMaxx  option

worn March 27, 2015

 

I wore this to a work meeting on Friday. Since we were away from our normal work location, I thought I'd push the envelope a little with a more casual shirt and scarf and flats, but still manage to keep it in the business attire realm. I think it worked. Who says you can't have a little pattern mixing in your business attire? And yes, you read that correctly- the scarf came from Books A Million a few years back.

 

Here's a look back at the scarf with a mint blazer:

Change the top

top- Target  option  option

pants- Belk  option  option

shoes- Franco Sart/ thrifted  option  option

necklace- Coro/ thrifted  option

belt- thrifted

worn March 26, 2015

 

I didn't realize how many thrifted pieces I was wearing in one outfit until I listed it all out above. Maybe I should have made a title based on that fact. Instead, I  focused on the twist top. I have worn this jacket with either grey or black pants many times and it's amazing how just changing the top or color that I pair it with makes a whole new outfit.

 

Hope you have a great weekend!

Bright colors and I'm not ashamed

shoes- JCPenney

Worn- March 23, 2015

It's spring so I have pulled out the color, and have found a way to wear these pants other than pairing them with black and white. The last time I wore them I mused about how I had always paired them with black and white. And I'm not ashamed to say I flat out copied this look from Jessica at Here and Now. I just swapped the skirt from her look for pants. I'm also on the hunt for another cardigan in this color. This one has seen a lot of wear over several years and is fading.

Updated: I had a chance to come back and update links in this post. I'll also say that I love these new shoes. Once again I'm raving about Payless shoes. And kudos to me for wearing this denim jacket a little more. Maybe I'll finally reach a decent cost per wear with it. Now, if I could just find as much use for the white denim jacket I own.
