Capsule #2 / Outfit 57
Hey look! It’s another vest outfit! You know why I love this vest so much? Because it has those little drawstrings on the side, so you can cinch it up in the waist. Cinched waist = flattering fit.
And this dress … it was an MVP this Spring. I wore it so much more than I even thought I would when I bought it. Want to see more looks with this dress? Here you go.
And these shoes … well let’s just say they are coming with me to my summer capsule. And I’m pretty sure my Fall capsule, too.
Dress: J.Crew Factory
Vest: J.Crew
Necklace: Anthropologie (similar)
Bag: ONA
Shoes: Steve Madden

June 25, 2014 at 4:53 pmWhat are your thoughts on jean vests? Like the old school, jean-jacket-with-no-sleeves kind. I sort of “inherited” one from a co-worker, and I’m thinking they’ve been out of style so long it’s probably about time for a comeback. Donate or save for my fall capsule?

In this post you mention bringing your shoes into the summer capsule. Do you purchases 37 new items for each season’s capsule? Or do you purchase a few new items each season? If it’s the latter, do you replace older items so that you always have 37 pieces?

June 26, 2014 at 4:52 pmHi Ellynne! Each capsule is a blend of these three categories: (1) pieces I already owned that were in storage, (2) pieces that rolled over from the previous capsule, (3) new pieces I purchased. No matter what, I always have just 37 pieces in my wardrobe at any given time. :) xo Caroline
