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:



Today, I’m wearing yesterday’s cardigan.

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.

WCC Year 3, Spring: Day 3

Although I’m wearing a capsule wardrobe this week, I don’t intend to abandon my New Year’s resolution of wearing something from a non-traditional retail source each day. On Monday, I wore a thrifted dress. On Tuesday, I wore a bracelet from a Wardrobe Swap Shop swap. Today, I’m wearing a brooch that I made.

Blazer, Forever 21. Knit shell, Cherokee. Skirt, Moda International. Tights, Stocking Diva. Shabooties, Madden Girl (Skout). Brooch, self-made.

Don’t be impressed at my jewelry making skills. All I did was hot-glue a couple of brooch fastenings to the back of an appliqué I bought at the fabric store.

Today, I’m wearing yesterday’s skirt.

Clothing Items (4 of 10)

WCC Year 3, Spring: Day 2

During the last wardrobe capsule challenge, I thought it would have been neat if I had repeated a major clothing item on consecutive days. There would be a sense of progression as the week unfolded. You’ll see me attempting that sort of styling this week.

Cardigan, The Limited. Blouse, Forever 21. Skirt, Moda International. Tights, We Love Colors. Heels, Oh Deer! Bracelet, swap.

Today, I’m wearing yesterday’s sweater.

WCC Year 3, Spring: Day 1

I’m half-assedly participating in Jane’s spring capsule wardrobe challenge. For the previous capsule wardrobes, I planned everything in advance. This time, I’m just flying by the seat of my pants (or skirt). Stay tuned to see if I can create a unique and work appropriate outfit each day while following the rules.

Cardigan, The Limited. Dress, vintage, thrifted, and shortened. Tights, We Love Colors. Shabooties, Madden Girl (Skout).

Clothing Items (3 of 10)

P.S. This is my marching band pose.

P.P.S. This is the sweater that totally blew my budget last month.
