WCC Year 3, Spring: Day 5

I fussed with the cardigan and scarf all day long. I must have tried four or five different combinations. I buttoned and unbuttoned the cardigan. I tied the scarf in back, I wrapped it over the cardi, I looped it around my neck. Finally, I found a configuration I liked.

Dress, thrifted, vintage, and shortened. Pearl-button cardigan, Moda International. Scarf, swap from Italy. Striped tights, Apostrophe. Purple tights (underneath), We Love Colors. Shabooties, Madden Girl.

The “not pictured” tote bag makes an appearance at last:

WCC Year 3, Spring: Day 4

By now you may have noticed a subtle color palette to the capsule. I incorporated pale spring shades (cream, light gray, aqua, soft coral, pale green, lavender, chambray blue), grounded by navy.

Pearl-button cardigan, Moda International. Knit shell, Cherokee. Chambray dress, Walmart. Slippers, gift.


I stayed home sick today, which explains the slippers. If I had gone to work, I planned to wear the pumps from Tuesday. Instead, I spent an accessory allotment on fuzzy slippers.

Today, I’m wearing yesterday’s knit shell.

I have one accessory left for tomorrow and no more clothing items. That could make for an interesting outfit.

Softly Now

The warm, humid air always feels softer to me somehow. The moisture seems to take the edge of things. Similarly, pastels, feathers, chiffon, and an airy knit soften the harsh look of graphic black and white.

Dress, Sele. Cardigan, To the Max. Belt, H&M. Headband, Urban Outfitters. Peeptoes, Bitten. Ring, Target.


A watercolor treatment of this photo makes it softer still.
