Autumn is the best time for fashion—am I right? Layers are everything to me, and I took that into account when planning out my capsule wardrobe for the fall.
I stuck with the same basic, neutral color scheme as my summer capsule wardrobe and added little bits of color, primarily mustard and olive green. And lots of leather and knits for texture. As with my summer capsule, I have a few duplicate items not pictured such as a mustard colored long-sleeve tee, an army green button down, and a basic black cardigan, and there are also three dresses that I couldn't fit into the collage (plain black short-sleeve jersey dress, a 3/4-sleeve dress with a navy and tan print, and a black and gray striped jersey dress, if you're curious). I know it's neutral and boring to some, but the ease is part of the appeal of capsule wardrobes to me. Simple, casual clothes for a simple, casual gal.
Since we're traveling Europe the last two weeks of September, I anticipate that packing will be so much easier now that I'm fully embracing the capsule wardrobe concept.
Let me know if you have any questions about specific items or capsule wardrobes in general! The only item I don't actually own is the slate Frye Veronica shortie boots in the lower right corner—does anyone want to be my benefactor?! ;)
Side note: As with the last capsule wardrobe I shared, this collage is meant to be representative of the clothes already in my closet, which is why I haven't listed sources for each item (I just Google image searched for "black flats," "khaki anorak," etc). But if you are particularly curious about any of the items pictured, you can leave me a comment and I'll try to help you out.
Where are the sneakers from?
ReplyDeleteSteve Alan Keds. Vans has some similar shoes; that's what I personally own.
DeleteLove! I think I could just copy your choices exactly. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this collage you've put together. This is my first season trying a capsule wardrobe, so I am reading all the posts I can on this concept and it's really helpful for me to see how others are doing it. I'm part nervous/part excited to see how it goes. I'm planning to post about my shopping list tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I'm glad you're giving it a try. I think it's great because I don't like thinking about what to wear so it really works for me, but I'm sure some people might feel restricted. I'll be looking forward to hearing how it works out for you!
DeleteLove it! Where is the 2nd grey top at the top from and the mustard knit scarf? Just my style!
ReplyDeleteThe gray dolman top I have is from Forever21 that I got for $3 at Goodwill :) I *think* the one shown here is ASOS? I've seen similar ones at Kohl's.
DeleteThe mustard scarf I got at H&M last year. The one in the image above is from Sparrow: http://www.shopsparrow.net/product/cable-knit-infinity-scarf-in-mustard
Where's the bag from? Too cute!
ReplyDeleteI have been looking for something exactly like the black skirt- where is that from please?!
