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.

I finally got around to wearing the hot pink pencil skirt I put in my spring capsule. I can't believe how quickly a month went by! It's already May now and summer will be quickly approaching.  I guess this has become another little outfit formula for me- black/ white on top + a colorful bottom. You could use this with pants, casual shorts outfits, or any style of outfit.

Do you see the cute little peep toe pumps? A co-worker gave them to me! We wear the same size shoe and she brought me 7 pairs of shoes that she cannot wear because she really needs a narrow shoes and once she wears a pair twice she decides she can't wear them. Free shoes?! Yes please.

I last wore this top with black pants and a colorful blazer:

I try not to complain, especially not here, but life is raining on my parade right now. I'm not going into great detail but I'm beating myself up over something I feel like I could have done better last week. I know that the experience will ultimately be good and this is how we learn, but I'm having a frustrating and painful learning curve right now.

 

And it rained (literally) the first couple of days this week, but I didn't let it stop the outfit pics. I picked up my favorite butterfly umbrella that was a perfect backdrop to this butterfly top and went to work in the drizzle.  I threw this blazer in the mix of the capsule because I really needed to challenge myself to wear it in ways differently than I had been. I've always gone to brown with it, but I'm loving it with this top.

 

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

I had the perfect option for these shoes saved for you and they have sold out! I found a couple of other options for you. Oh the woes of fashion blogging, lol. And in other woes, I sometimes have no shade to take photos in at the time I need to take the photos. I guess I should start experimenting with full sun again. It can be done, but I so much prefer shade. So... sometimes you get peeks of the edge of the garage door.

Thanks for entertaining my menial complaints. There is so much more to life.

And just in case you are wondering, this isn't a capsule outfit. It's a Sunday outfit. I break from the capsule for casual and non business dress on the weekends. This outfit was inspired by this one. I made it a spring/summer version.

Repeating black and white. This time with the grid top and the vest. This was another comfortable outfit that still felt crisp and put together. Love those kinds of outfits.

This may just be a new favorite work outfit. It was comfortable, crisp and I felt professional but not stuffy or boring. Colors can still be professional even in a very conservative environment.

 

Just in case you are wondering, I did not wear mint two days in a row. But then again, what's wrong with that? Last Friday I posted the mint cardigan. My trip out of town has gotten my posts out of order because I was not able to take all of pics ahead of  time or during that week and still have a few things that have been worn that still need to be photographed. I also had some busy long days last week that didn't allow for pics but I managed to get this one in.

 

Here's a look back at the mint blazer worn last year with black and stripes:

 

 

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a great week.

A pencil skirt, cardigan and heels always looks business ready. It' such an easy formula to pull off. I decided to go a little monochrome on top with the blouse and cardigan. I would probably have never thought of this pairing if it had not been for isolating these pieces in my capsule.

I can't say enough about these shoes either. They are very affordable and most of all, COMFORTABLE. They are from the Payless comfort line. If you need a great shoe that goes with everything, don't think you have to spend a lot for it. These will be your go to. And if you're looking for a little more color, they are available in colors too! (And yes, that' an affiliate link up there. If you take my advice, I'll earn a little commission.)
