Wardrobe Capsule--Day 5

Can I just say FINALLY!!!!! I'm so glad this is over...
I literally wanted to give up many times over, but I stuck with it. Not sure if I'll do it again, but it was a good experience.

pants--Gap (remix)
vest--Merona (remix)
shirt-The Limited (remix)
shoes--Xileration (remix)
jacket--Old Navy (remix)

Wardrobe Capsule--Day 4

As much as I love the experience, I can't wait until this is over, I really do like my shoes and I enjoy wearing a different pair every day, so sticking to two pairs is actually depressing me...LOL.

I was told I look very christmassy--that's what happens when you can only wear a few items...LOL
Happy blogging all!

shoes--BCBG paris (remix)

sweater--Mossimo (remix)
Belt--Mossimo (remix)

Wardrobe Capsule--Day 3

Doing this wardrobe challenge proves to me that I don't need anymore clothes. Its seems I can go a week with the same 2 pants, 1 dress, 2 shirts, 1 vest, 1 sweater and 1 jacket plus 2 shoes and 5 accessories. I'm pretty amazed at myself that I could do this, because its a lot easier than I thought.

Dress-Tommy Bahama (remix)
tights--Simply Vera by Vera Wang
shoes--BCBC Paris (remix)
sweater--Mossimo (remix)
scarf--via Loemann's (remix)
necklace--fresh water pearls (remix)
earrings--onyx

So far I have two takers on my challenge-giveaway let me know if you want to participate too! Thanks again for stopping by :)

Wardrobe Capsule--Day 2

I really do believe mixing and matching is an art, something I'm not really good at yet...but I'm really impressed by the ladies that can mix in more color and print...simply amazing.

pants--Ann Taylor (remix)
Shoes--BCBC paris (remix)
vest--Merona (remix)
shirt--Banana Republic (remix)
jacket--Old Navy (remix)

wardrobe capsule--Day 1

So today is my first day of the wardrobe capsule, I rolled up the sleeves and put on some pattern tights for some interest. I wish I added a bit of color, but hopefully next time.

Stripe shirt--The limited
black sheath dress--Tommy Bahama (remix)
belt--Calvin Klein (remix)
earrings--black onyx (remix)
shoes--xileration (remix)

I'm crossing my fingers or at least hoping stocking/tights are considered undergarments. If not, then I already lost...LOL

My first capsule collection

Thank you The small fabric of my life for starting up this challenge. This is my first capsule and it made me realize a few things:

1) I noticed none of my items that I picked are designer, which leads me to believe that I don't have to spend a lot of money to have a week's worth of clothes.
2) This will cut down on the amount of items I pack when I travel for a business trip.
3) Its seems all the items I own are work outfits.
4) I have a lot of black...LOL

I have few trips coming up that I will be gone for a whole week, I'm very excited to see how well this works out. The weather report says its going to be 56-65 degrees which in So. Cal its on the cold side, plus its going to rain on Thursday and possibly Wednesday, so wish me luck I'll be warm enough.

So here is my capsule collection:

1. jacket--Old Navy (remix)
2. pink long sleeve shirt--Banana Republic (remix)
3. black striped long sleeve shirt--The Limited
4. black sheath dress--Tommy Bahama (remix)
5. green wrap sweater--Mossimo (remix)
6. checker vest--Merona (remix)
7. gray pants--Ann Taylor (remix)
8. black pinstripe pants-- Banana Republic (remix)
9. black booties--BCBG Paris (remix)
10. black Mary Jane pumps--Xileration (remix)
