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.

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.

Blues and white

necklace- online boutique option
 
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.

Lavender for Easter



 
 
Shirt- Liz Claiborne/ JCPenney  option
skirt- old option  total splurge
clutch- thrifted   option  option
shoes- Unlisted/Belk  option

I wore this for Easter church services and everyone  said you look so "Eastery". Is that a word and does it mean I look like an egg? 
 
 These pieces are not part of my capsule. The capsule is work only so weekends and church are free range. I do have a matching jacket for this skirt that made it into the capsule. This set taunts me. It's old (10+ years) but I can still wear it and love it hanging in the closet. I just never know how to wear it other than as a set with a white blouse. Boring to repeat. So the skirt has been salvaged from going to Goodwill by pairing it with this plaid pastel blouse I picked up last year when I realized I didn't have very many pastel shades or "spring" colors in my closet.
