Sometimes you need a grab and go option for work that still looks professional and like you put some effort into it. That's when a matching suit comes in handy. I paired my black suit with the chartreuse top and leopard accents. I purposely put the matching suit in my capsule because I knew there would be days like this one where I didn't want to spend energy on creating an outfit. Fun accessories keep it from being boring.

I was allowed to dress down to business casual a few days last week while at a conference so I simply paired the black lace top and white pants. Easy.

Not much to say this morning. This is another take on the dot skirt. This time I paired it with the blush blouse. This skirt goes so well from season to season. I wore it with tights HERE for a winter look.

 

HERE are three more looks with the skirt and below is a comparison to the very last time I wore it.

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.

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.

I seem to be sticking with the black, white and pop of color formula. This time it's with green. I've had a similar outfit pinned for inspiration for a long time and finally got the chance to put this together after pulling these pieces into the capsule.

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.
