The other half of Lavendar





Blazer- old   option   option   option
blouse- Loft via Poshmark  option     option
necklace- Banana Republic (old)  option   option
shoes- Banana Republic   option   option
 
This blazer is the other half of the matching suit set I talked about here. The one that taunts me. So I put the blazer in my spring capsule. It's my challenge piece. I like this pairing better than the last couple of times I tried to wear it. I've also cut off the inside buttons and tabs. It just didn't look good buttoned and the buttons/closures looked silly dangling unbuttoned.
 
The silver shoes were an impromptu add on. I had planned to wear nude shoes because of the pattern and all the colors here but I was in a hurry and found these first. I thought, lavender, blue, silver- that could work so on the feet they went and out the door I was.

Hot pink




Blazer- Banana Republic via Thred Up  option  option
blouse- JCPenney  option
pants-Loft  option
necklace- online boutique  option
shoes- JCPenney  option

I believe my formula for spring/summer is truly going to be black, white and a pop of color. At least for this capsule. It's been the formula for the week.

I scored this blazer on Thred Up for $25! I never saw it go below $70 when it was available on the Banana Republic site in my size. I was excited to find it because my hot pink blazer really needed to be replaced.

Black, white and a pop of color




Blazer- Forever 21  option  option  option
blouse- JCPenney
pants- Gap
shoes- Belk option
necklace- Lulu's  option
 
I love black and white with a pop of color. You've seen me use this formula many times and you will see it again.  The blouse is a recent purchase, prior to the capsule. But let me say, I'm not limiting shopping during the capsule. If I see something at a good deal that will work year round or going forward to summer, I'm purchasing it. In fact, I bought three more pairs of shoes lasts week. Oh my! Two of them are comfort flats for running through the airport. Yep, I'm on a work related trip and I'm not so airport savvy. I've also got a short time frame on arrival from the conference to the return take off, so I needed some comfortable flats that would pass as business casual. I may be in an all out sprint once I clear check in. Fingers crossed and lots of prayers please!
 
Back to the outfit- I promise this blazer is coral. The last couple of times I've photographed it, it appears more pink. But I promise there is an orange tint there. And I didn't do a good job of capturing the necklace, it's best seen here.

So the post title is a bit cheesy, but if you look through the list, you'll see that two of items came from Target. I'd almost bet you could create this whole outfit from Target items. Anyway, this floral top is perfect for spring. I got lots of compliments on my cardigan/top combo at work last week.

Blush and grey

If you notice something different here, I changed the blogger template. It seems my home page was not showing correctly. All the widgets were at the bottom instead of the side. Each post page showed correctly but the homepage was all jacked up. Changing the template did not fix it, but I finally found the issue. One post had images that was too wide, so it was pushing everything to the bottom. The weird things blogger does!
 
I love the pairing of blush and grey. Blush and white is also a great spring and summer color pairing. All of these pieces are in my capsule and should see a fair amount of rotation.

Three more pieces from my capsule. I think this is one of my favorite ways I've worn this white vest so far. It's in the capsule because it's a challenge to me. I love vests but freeze when it comes to styling them. Below are two other ways I've worn the vest.
