I made last Friday the final official day of my spring capsule. I made it through two months with 37 pieces but was too bored to make it the last 21 days til summer. So this is the last outfit of the capsule and completely unplanned. It was not on the list I made but a last minute decision. I still have outfits I can create and wear with those 37 pieces but I was itching to wear some other items.

 

This is just a simple black and white scheme. I don't think it needs any other explanation.

I was staring blankly at the screen trying to come up with something to say. I searched for something about this outfit that I liked and came up with chandelier earrings. You have seen this particular pair many times. I love this style of earring. With my hair longer, I'm beginning to need to wear larger earrings or else they are not even seen. What's your favorite style of earring? Hoop, chandelier, stud?

Bangs and bobby pins

I got aggravated with my bangs (or that section that used to be but has grown out now) hanging in my face at work so I dug around in  my purse and found a bobby pin. I pulled them back, over, twisted a little and inserted the bobby pin. What's your favorite way to pin bangs?

 

This is another version of what I've worn before, replacing  the cardigan with a blazer. Not very creative, but I was dressed for the day.

Print skirt and VCRs

This morning the radio announcer asked if anyone still had a VCR and VHS tapes. He asked if anyone still watched those VHS tapes. Why yes, we do have a VCR, and for a good while, it was the way our whole system was routed through to make the surround sound and such work. Repair men, and especially the alarm guy who also does sound systems, would come in our home, look at my husband, and say "Sir is that a VCR?" As if it were a dinosaur or something.

I am happy to report we got Uverse a few months ago and we don't use the VCR. We didn't watch VHS tapes either, but like some callers on the radio, I think we have a few for sentimental value. SO, do you still have a VCR?

I last wore this skirt with a patterned top, but I wanted to get another wearing in while I was still inside my self imposed spring capsule. I paired it with the pale yellow button up. This outfit was so simple I almost felt like I wasn't dressed, but I was definitely cooler without a blazer.

A personal challenge

I got these shorts on clearance at the end of last summer. I wore them once with a blue and grey graphic tee. I pulled them back out recently to take inventory for this summer. All I could think of for ways to wear them was with blue, grey or white. So I challenged myself to come up with something different. Lime green tee! Paired with the necklace, I think it ties together well. Now I think I could pair these with any bright color- coral, red, hot pink...what do you think?

 

Also, wearing the tall wedges with shorts is first for me too. Hey, where did I get those legs? I think they make me look taller and like I have long legs. I'm still not sure if I'm really comfortable with it. I've always stayed on the safe side with lower heels or flats with shorts, especially shorter ones. These are 5 inch inseams and about my limit on the short side. After all, I am over 40.

 

Hope you had a great weekend!
