The hubby and I took a weekend getaway trip over Memorial Day weekend and this is what I wore for the first day of travel and sightseeing. I picked up this top at one of our local thrift stores and couldn't be happier with it. I love the pattern of colors and it's cool and comfortable.

The trench that I included in my capsule is finally making an appearance. When I decided that I had to have this piece, I went on an all out search and caved in and spent more than I would like to on one piece, even buying second hand on poshmark. I convinced myself it would be very versatile for work and lighter than a blazer when it got warmer, but then I didn't have the courage to wear it because it's so different for me. I'm sure it will gradually see more wear. I had fun wearing it.

I've gotten a lot of wear out of these white pants during this capsule. And I'm not going to stop wearing them when it's over. Speaking of ending, I'm going to stop this capsule at the end of this month. I know  I could make another three weeks worth of outfits, but I am so bored with this. I feel like they are just becoming a switch of a bottom or a switch of a top and not really a different outfit. Sometimes a simple switch of a piece is all it takes, but sometimes it's really boring. But there's always striped shoes to combat boredom!

I was rather into pattern mixing last week. I don't know what brought that about, but it is interesting how outfit ideas come to me. Sometimes I will flat out copy someone else, sometimes I take an inspiration and make it mine. Other times, like with this, it comes to me totally on my own accord. I was actually thinking about a prompt from another blog to wear a chambray shirt with a floral skirt and it got me to thinking about my floral skirts. Being that this one has black, the idea popped into my head to wear my black polka dot popover with it. And so another Sunday church outfit was created.
 
When I put it on, something was missing. Ah, necklace. I was running a bit behind so this was the best I could do. I'd like to have a statement necklace with  a bit more color to go with this, but mint worked.

Happy Memorial Day! Sorry I didn't bring you a red, white and blue bar-b-que outfit. I did bring a little white and blue to the blog. I was inspired the this lady to put these pieces together.
 
Hope you are having a fun relaxing day!
