I have decided that I need to stop blogging about my clothes. There are TONS of reasons why, but I just don't have the energy to put into this right now. I need to focus on <a href="http://notsoprivateshuiheart.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">my other journey</a>.<br />
<br />
I am not going to give up on the capsule concept, I am just not going to blog about it anymore.adriannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11735637488168744236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18513327.post-74078284288879199332015-11-23T12:41:00.002-08:002015-11-23T12:41:35.469-08:00Fall 2015 Outfits 36 - 41<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It has been a busy few weeks. That combined with the fact that a lot of my outfits are repeating, I just didn't post much.<br />
<br />
If you can't tell it has been way too cold for dresses and skirts. I have been wearing a lot of jeans. I think this may be a new normal for me, so I plan to invest in a few nicer jackets and blouse type shirts for the winter capsule. I don't have a ton of upgrades in the casual wardrobe - maybe another casual sweater/sweatshirt thing, but really, I am pretty happy with that wardrobe.

And by modifications I mean that I made physical modifications to a couple of items.<br />
<br />
First up - the shoes in the first picture. I promise you that I didn't add a new pair of shoes to the capsule. I simply transformed my black booties into the gray ones I always wanted from the beginning. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There is this great leather paint (Angelus brand), and I have used it on several pairs of shoes. My purple heels from this capsule used to be black. I have a pair of green sandals that were the wrong color of green, but so comfy and cute; they are now gray. My black dansko clogs are now an awesome shade of blue. I am obsessed with taking shoes that I love, but have tired of and transforming them into something brand new. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also made a modification to the navy dress in the second picture. It had this weird sash across the front from one shoulder to the waist on the opposite side. It was supposed to give the dress a "wrap dress" feel, but it was always awkward. So I cut it off. :) It is a slightly different silhouette now, but I am ok with that. </div>

I am going to start writing that down in an effort to streamline the next capsule shopping and give me a place to "window shop" without actually shopping.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Sweaters!</li>
<li>New pencil skirt? Maybe one that I <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/460774605604960876/" target="_blank">make</a>?</li>
<li>New dress pants? Either retire the back ones for good and replace with a skirt or get new pants.</li>
<li>Dress shirts for work.</li>

Don't worry, I know it has been a very purple couple of days. I realized it when I got dressed this morning, but decided that I just didn't care. :) I have decided that shades of plum and mustard are my favorite color combo. Yellow is my favorite color, but it can be hard to wear. I find that wearing it in accessories or in combination with plum makes it more wearable for me. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My earring style has really evolved since I started the capsule. I was doing more statement earrings, and while I love them for the right outfit, I really am more of a delicate drop or large stud girl. (I actually only have one pair of large studs right now, so guess what is on my Christmas list?)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The second pair of earrings (and the long necklace) is part of a jewelry "subscription" box - the <a href="https://thedearlybox.cratejoy.com/" target="_blank">Dearly Box by Elisabeth Ashlie</a>. (I get nothing for linking that. I just like her stuff.) I only ordered one box, for now. I would love to get something each month, but I also know that new jewelry every month is a lot of new jewelry. If I could stretch out to every other month, I would jump on a subscription, but for now, I think I will order boxes when I need a little shake up. Or maybe get one for Christmas. ;) </div>

I was really trying to mix things up this week. I don't
know if I feel like I was totally successful, but it was good to try to
get out of my current feeling of blah.<br />

We have a costume contest in the office, so I had to come up with
something. All of this, except the red shirt and necklace, is from my
closet or Halloween stash. I had some purple and black striped tights
to go with this, but I think it might have been over the top. </div>

I don't expect to win the contest, like <a href="http://shuiheart.blogspot.com/2014/10/halloween.html" target="_blank">last year</a>, but it was still fun to pull this together. </div>

And they are not in the order in which they were worn. Oh well.<br />
<br />
Boot season is officially here. I am sad to put the Tieks on a lower rotation, but they are just not ideal for the rain. I will still wear them when I can though!<br />
<br />
I am really trying to mix things up and break against my own "uniform". I was starting to get bored, and there are still seven weeks in this capsule. That's not good. I also know I have several pieces that I haven't even worn yet. I need to break those suckers out to add a little more variety. adriannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11735637488168744236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18513327.post-13605983831655654242015-10-16T11:08:00.002-07:002015-10-16T11:08:42.979-07:00Fall 2015 Outfits 18 - 22And we get a whole week of outfits!

I never updated on my <a href="http://shuiheart.blogspot.com/2015/09/2015-fall-capsule-planning-step-3.html" target="_blank">shopping for the Fall capsule</a>, so I am going to take the time to do that today.</div>

<ol>
<li>I bought the exact belt that I linked in my post. I haven't found the chance to wear it yet, but I have plans. </li>
<li>I did get a <a href="http://www.lucy.com/shop/tops/dashing-stripes-ls-112392?variationId=4BW" target="_blank">long sleeved t-shir</a>t to wear under my jersey and other things as needed. It hasn't been cool enough to really wear lots of layers yet, but it will be worn. (It is so soft!)</li>
<li>I never found the new sweater I was looking for. Everything that seemed to be big enough, was too thin. Everything that was bulkier, was too short. I will keep looking for this in the winter, but I don't have my heart set on it.</li>
<li>I did settle on a new casual sweatshirt (the one in the second picture above) and it has been a great piece. </li>
<li>I also got two new tops to wear under cardigans - the gray one in the third picture and the other one <a href="http://shuiheart.blogspot.com/2015/09/fall-2015-outfit-1.html" target="_blank">here</a></li>

<i>Apparently cranking the brightness up all the way on the pictures seems to fix the issue with the darkness, mostly. I feel like the colors are still in the "true" range, so I guess I will go with this for a while. </i><br />

I decided to post my work week, minus Friday this week because, well, Friday should look just like
<a href="http://shuiheart.blogspot.com/2015/09/fall-2015-outfit-4.html" target="_blank">this Friday</a>. I really want to focus on outfits and not "what I wore today." I am early enough in the capsule that I am posting lots of outfits, but the repeats will come.<br />
<br />
My favorite outfit this week is the last one. I love the jeans, the sweater, and the boots. I just feel cool and very, very me. It almost makes me want to get rid of my tall brown, flat boots. It might just be the weather (it isn't quite cool enough for tall boots and sweaters). It might be that I have fallen back in love with these boots now that I have the right skinny jeans. I will be curious to see what footwear distribution is this fall.<br />

Between Sam's game on Saturday and Sam and I going to a Sounders game today, it has been a soccer filled weekend.<br />
<br />
(What is with the randomly blurry photographs?)<br />
<br />
I have inspiration for a new background for my photos, which might help the issue of not being able to really see my bottom half. We'll see if it works.<br />
<br />
Ok, so you might notices that I am wearing the same shoes both days this weekend and I have worn these shoes a lot. There is a good reason for it. They are the most comfortable flats I have ever owned. In a fit of "I worked so many hours, I deserve something" shopping, I splurged on a pair of <a href="http://tieks.com/" target="_blank">Tieks</a>. Yes, they were expensive. Yes, they were worth every penny. <br />
<br />
I often have issues wearing flats because they don't provide the right support. They haven't been my choice of shoe when I know we'll do a lot of walking. Tieks changed that for me. There is something about they way they are made that makes my feet align correctly, without any additional support or inserts. My back never hurts even after wearing them to walk several miles. They are the best flat that I have found for my feet. I have my eye on several other colors, but I am waiting for a sale. <br />
<br />
I do have one minor complaint - they definitely show signs of wear at the back of the heel and the toe area, where the shoe is near the ground. You can't really see it when I wear them, but when I take them off, I can see it. I went to condition the leather today, I now believe that this wear might be a lot of road grime, so a good washing with leather cleaner might fix that for me. adriannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11735637488168744236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18513327.post-79222397059777581102015-10-02T09:44:00.003-07:002015-10-02T09:44:57.607-07:00Fall 2015 Outfits 10 and 11The rest of this work week.

You can't see the bottoms very well, but the ones on the left are my purple corduroy pants and the ones on the right are the new skinny jeans. I LOVE both pairs of pants, so you will see them often. Hopefully I can figure something out so that I can show more detail. And less toilet paper. ;) <br />

And because it is someone's birthday...<br />

Wow, I really don't know what happened to that last photo. It looked just fine on my phone. <br />
<br />
I don't have a ton to say about these outfits. I have noticed that the black pants are nearing the end of their lives. Considering they have been a wardrobe staple for 6 years and have been altered significantly over that time, I definitely got my moneys worth. I will trying to fix the issue (the zipper won't stay up) before I go get a new pair.adriannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11735637488168744236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18513327.post-90799155270558628862015-09-28T10:48:00.004-07:002015-11-23T12:43:12.943-08:00Fall 2015 Outfits<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I realized that my fall capsule is a lot of blue, cream, and gray with accents of green, yellow, and purple thrown in. I wonder if this will actually work for me in terms of having enough color.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today's topic - Jeans. Specifically how they look on my butt. So yes, be prepared for pictures of my butt. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(You were warned.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One day while browsing the internet, I was sucked in by a click bait link about someone that tried on 30 pairs of jeans in one day. Surprisingly, it was an interesting read. She talked a lot about how jeans should really fit, especially if you want to avoid the "mom jean" look. I was particularly surprised when she talked about the fit of <a href="http://www.graspingforobjectivity.com/2012/10/plus-sized-denim.html" target="_blank">plus size jeans </a>and mentioned one of the brands I thought looked good on me as causing "mom jean" butt. Being a skeptic, I filed the story in the back of my head for further research. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I went to buy my skinny jeans (I haven't actually worn those for the fall capsule yet), I decided to check out the article again and see if I could apply the principles in the article. I decided to look for jeans with pockets that continued to the curvature of my butt, with pockets that weren't too spread apart, and for jeans that avoided the "upside down heart" without being baggy. I also took pictures, in the dressing room. Yeah, that was awkward. The fitting room attendant even offered to take them for me. Awkward.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I did notice a difference when I got jeans that fit me right and loosely followed those tips. The skinny jeans looked less like I was trying to stuff a sausage into a casing. They actually enhanced my booty. And who doesn't want an awesome looking booty?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As much as I loved the effect, I wasn't ready to trash my other jeans and search for new ones. I had just bought the jeans I was wearing in the spring after wearing out a two pair and had spent some money on them. Plus the ones that ended up looking best on me (Seven7) aren't exactly cheap.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As I was shopping for the capsule, I happened across a sale that was offering $10 off for trying on pants and jeans and $25 off for buying them. They happened to have the right brand in the right size, so I bought them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And so you can see what I mean, I present pictures of my booty. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd2QgYZxeXbPE5Po0cbqM4Y1U4XNYm3pzyO29ma6JHAuq0KV5aOcqDK7yND_4qrVk4Dcd3HCfgBzyEPf93s5HyoLwdKfQojSDgA3tMLLM06D0liC4xpRZDXfWMEb3PyMM6EfOQ/s1600/collage-1443376203065.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd2QgYZxeXbPE5Po0cbqM4Y1U4XNYm3pzyO29ma6JHAuq0KV5aOcqDK7yND_4qrVk4Dcd3HCfgBzyEPf93s5HyoLwdKfQojSDgA3tMLLM06D0liC4xpRZDXfWMEb3PyMM6EfOQ/s640/collage-1443376203065.jpg" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The top picture is my original pair of boot cut jeans; the bottom picture is my new boot cut jeans. I prefer the look in the bottom picture, for sure. I do still have one pair of the old jeans, in a straight leg style. They fit a little better in the butt area, and frankly, I just didn't have the budget for a third pair of new jeans. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I work hard for this booty (well actually, I work hard to have strong glutes to support a healthy lower back, but a nice looking butt is a fringe benefit), so I want it to look the best it can in pants!</div>

This is about to become my Friday uniform:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Everything in this outfit is new. The jersey, the jeans, the shoes, even the tank top. Surprisingly, it doesn't give me a ton of joy to wear the "new stuff", but maybe because these are things I had already worn before the capsule really started. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let's talk about the jersey in this post. I have plenty to say about the jeans and the shoes, but that will come in a later post. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Growing up, I wasn't a HUGE football fan. My dad watched most games, and many of my cousins are into football. I went to some high school football games, but that wasn't really what my social circle did. Then I went to a college that didn't even have a football team, so football kind of left my life. I still watched the Superbowl, like most other Americans. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then, about 2 years ago, Sam really, really, really got into football. Not just football, but really got into his hometown football team, the Seahawks. (Yes, the year leading up to when we won the Superbowl.) He is so into it that we redecorated his room with a Seahawks theme. Over the last couple of years, it has kind of become his and my thing. We watch football (and soccer - I really want Sounders season tickets for the 2 of us!) together. I love it. It is something that I am hoping will transcend those teenage angst years. We'll see though. Maybe football will become uncool to him. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Back to the jersey. I avoided getting a jersey just because Sam had one. They are expensive and frankly, I wasn't excited about sporting the Fan 12 jersey that a lot of people wear. I was contemplating getting the 24 (Lynch) or 25 (Sherman) jerseys because I like those players, but I never could convince myself to do it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then we traded for Jimmy Graham. And then Jimmy Graham chose number 88. That's when I knew I needed a jersey. Not because I have followed Jimmy Graham's career or have a particular liking of him, but because of the number. You see, when I was 8 years old, 88 was my nickname given to me by my cousins (some of those football loving cousins) and it has stuck with me through the years. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It all comes full circle, right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(And I really hope Graham does some great things this season!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(And apologies to abandoning the Green Bay Packers that my family loves so much. Seattle has become my hometown, so they are my team!)</div>

This isn't something I used to do, but I slipped into wearing more jeans to the office over the summer. I am really trying to break this habit, but when you are up for 6:30 am conference call, have all kid duties today, and feel like you are getting sick, something has to give. </div>

My final item count came to 40 items. I am waiting on one
shirt to be delivered and one pair of shoes needs to be fixed, but I
couldn't wait to start the fall capsule. I actually
wound up buying several new pieces this time around. Some things just
needed replacing. Some items, I just couldn't resist. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Today's
top is one of my new items. I really need to have a couple of work
shirts that I can wear under cardigans in each capsule. This one is a
houndstooth pattern, which I adore. </div>

<div dir="ltr">
The shoes are
"new to me" shoes. I had these amazingly comfy black heels tucked away
at work for a shoe emergency. I pulled them out to <strike>eat</strike> wear (note to self, please proofread all posts composed on the phone extra carefully) one day and
remembered how comfortable they are. However, I didn't need another
pair of black heels, so I fixed them up! They are now a purple gray
with gray hearts in the back. </div>

<br />
Step 3 for me is actually figuring out what I am going to wear. I managed to sneak in two chunks of time to work on this due to some odd shifts in our normal routine.<br />
<br />
The first day I sat down and made a list, without looking at what I have as a first cut. I do keep some items in mind as I make the list, but I also try to make it my "ideal" wardrobe and identify where there are gaps, etc.<br />
<br />

<br />
The second day, I took out everything from my closet and my storage box and threw it all on the bed. Then I started sorting my clothing into the categories I listed here. This is when I realized that I managed to forget an entire category - jackets. Oops. <br />
<br />
For each category, I tried to identify items that fit in. I had a lot of pieces I had put away last year that I had forgotten, so there were some nice surprises in there. I found a skirt that filled in the "skirt/dress" gap I had listed initially. I also found some more casual/weekend wear tops that are nice to have. Once I added in the jacket category, I realized that my item count is really closer to 40. As much as I would love to add some new flats in, I really don't need them, so I am not going to buy any. :)<br />
<br />
It looks like I am down to needing to shop for four to five things:<br />
<ol>
<li>A belt to wear with a tunic top I got. I am not entirely sure where I want to go with it, but we'll see what I can find. Maybe something like this:<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</li>
<li>A long sleeved shirt in either gray or white. I'd prefer a gray so I can wear it under some jackets and sweaters without worrying about the cuffs getting gross.</li>
<li>A new sweater. My inspiration is this outfit:<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</li>
<li>A new "nice but casual sweatshirt" because the one I have has seen many years and I think it needs to go. I am thinking something like one of these: </li>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<li>
A top or two to go under cardigans that can also serve as a warmer weather (hopeful for a warm October!) wear since my casual tops are mostly long sleeved. </li>
</ol>
Once I am done shopping (this Friday, most likely), I will finalize my item count. <br />

I have no idea when I am going to really have time for Stage 3 (looking at everything in my closet and seeing what I need to add to the wardrobe), but I will try.<br />
<br />
(Note to self - next year make the switch in August or October.)<br />
<br />
I spent about 30 minutes yesterday going through my "saved" clothes. These are things that I spent a lot of money on (How do I have so many cashmere sweaters?) or things that I will fit into "some day." I am proud to say that I am down to 1 box (from 2). Most of it is stuff that I am very close to wearing again. I only have a few "some day" pieces now.<br />
<br />
Next up is a lovely graphic:<br />

(yes I made a pie chart)<br />
<br />
Now that I am in the office 5 days a week, I needed to re-check my distribution of work/casual clothes. Turns out that since I change into lounge clothes or workout clothes most evenings that I also work, my casual wear and work wear hours per week are almost identical. Because lounge wear/sleep wear and exercise wear don't actually count toward my capsule, this means that I should have a pretty good balance between work outfits and casual outfits.<br />
<br />
No wonder I was really struggling this summer with not feeling like I had enough variety on the weekends. <br />

That's what this post is all about.<br />
<br />
<b>Lesson 1 - I really really really really really missed my pencil skirts. </b><br />
There is something about skirts that add so much versatility to a capsule wardrobe. Dresses, even the ones I can mix up with different cardigans, just don't work as well.<br />
<br />
<b> </b><br />
<b>Lesson 2 - Try on EVERYTHING that is going into the capsule</b><br />
I did a good job of really trying things on, but I also need to make sure that I plan a few outfits. I think this might help me with those "odd" pieces that I only wear once or twice.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Lesson 3 - Experiment with color</b><br />
I loved having color in my summer capsule, but I also know I need to remember to make sure all of the colors work together. <b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Lesson 4 - Kitten heels and flats</b><br />
Summer sandals just didn't do it for me. Neither did the heels I picked. I just couldn't deal with footwear. This fall will focus on kitten heels and flats. I still love to have tons of shoe options though. :) <b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Lesson 5 - Just because it was expensive doesn't mean I have to keep it</b><br />
This is going to be the hardest. I have been slowly weeding out things that I just don't love any more. It is hard. For example, I have an entire box of cycling clothing that I can't part with because I spent so much on it. I also have tons of clothes that will fit me "someday". Except, I don't know when that someday will be...<br />
<br />
<b>Lesson 6 - I need to allow myself some wiggle room. </b><br />
I am working on <a href="http://notsoprivateshuiheart.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">losing weight</a>. Yes, I said it. (I hate the word diet.) Since I am approaching this the slow way, I don't think I will outshrink anything over the next 3 months, but I do need to remove that mental block of not being able to replace things that don't fit. My three rules: 1) I only get to shop on the last day of the month 2) replace like with like and 3) one in one out.adriannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11735637488168744236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18513327.post-1446493144105870542015-09-04T14:23:00.001-07:002015-09-04T14:23:47.582-07:00Hello, Again I have a confession, perhaps I should call it a Capsule Confession.<br />
<br />
My summer capsule sucked.<br />
<br />
It didn't suck because of what I chose to include or the incredibly hot first two months of summer. It sucked because I was horrible at keeping to the capsule concept.<br />
<br />
It started innocently enough. It was too hot to wear the jean shorts, so I needed something else. I decided that high heels are just too hard for me to wear to the office, so I needed more flats. There was a party that was going to include dancing in 90 degree weather, so I clearly needed a fancy tank top. I got really busy at work and earned all this extra money, so I needed to reward myself with new shoes. <br />
<br />
So many of those "I needed" when really, I didn't. It just snowballed from there.<br />
<br />
Maybe I just needed a break. Maybe I just lost my mojo. It wasn't my prettiest summer. <br />
<br />
(I mainly did stick to the core clothes I chose for the summer, but so many pieces went unworn. It was just a weird capsule.)<br />
<br />
As the fall capsule is only about 2 weeks away (I officially start planning on Tuesday!), I think it is time to return to the blog. Apparently I do need the accountability, even if no one reads it.<br />
<br />
I think I will start with some posts about my planning process, get myself back into the full groove. adriannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11735637488168744236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18513327.post-25939496605349953182015-06-23T09:59:00.000-07:002015-06-23T10:01:27.387-07:00Summer 2015 Outfit 1<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirAIhvDRJbqD2Kgayjamb76UsVpUZ7p5Bs67sBde2wDaQOYakzfV-G-WW1nBO-uEPrOksPFmXIppKERfErcD4G4X90z49nHFaIWRCdfo7ieS3LxxPQLgz5HM1G4tCmxtPdUZz-6A/s1600/_20150620_090640.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirAIhvDRJbqD2Kgayjamb76UsVpUZ7p5Bs67sBde2wDaQOYakzfV-G-WW1nBO-uEPrOksPFmXIppKERfErcD4G4X90z49nHFaIWRCdfo7ieS3LxxPQLgz5HM1G4tCmxtPdUZz-6A/s400/_20150620_090640.JPG" width="157" /> </a><br />
<br />
This was the start of the summer capsule! I finally got past my "meh" feelings and figured out what was bugging me. It was a three part problem:<br />
<ol>
<li>I have so much good stuff for summer, but not all of it fits the best</li>
<li>I love dresses, but I feel like they are hard to have in a capsule</li>
<li>I no longer want to buy cheap clothes, but I also still want a great deal</li>
</ol>
I got around all of these by stocking my work wardrobe with several dresses and an extra pair of pants, so I have some variety in my work wardrobe. I added in a couple of more casual dresses, but kept in some shorts and capris, just in case. I am betting on the fact that we'll have a really warm summer, so I have mostly tank tops in my casual wardrobe. I was super picky in what I bought this time (only 4 items!) and rejected so much that I would have settled for before, but I also spent under $100. It is a total mishmash, but I think it will work.<br />
<br />
And did I mention color? There is SO MUCH COLOR in this capsule. I love it. adriannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11735637488168744236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18513327.post-2276391278510287912015-06-18T11:37:00.001-07:002015-06-18T11:37:10.730-07:00Summer 2015 CapsuleI have one word to describe my capsule. Color.<br />
<br />
(Yes, that's just a tease.)<br />
<br />
Honestly, I just don't know if I want to keep up with the blog. I started it because I was afraid that if I wasn't accountable, I would slip into my old habits. Now that I have fallen completely in love with the capsule concept, I don't need that accountability.<br />
<br />
I am no fashion expert, so I don't know what my blog really offers.<br />
<br />
But the pictures are taken, so maybe I should post those. adriannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11735637488168744236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18513327.post-23958308633712681762015-06-09T10:14:00.002-07:002015-06-09T10:14:32.253-07:00Summer Capsule ThoughtsI am in the midst of planning the summer capsule and I have to admit, I am really struggling with this one.<br />
<br />
For some reason, I just don't want to spend any money. I am not sure if it is because I love my summer clothes or I just don't see the need to spend money on clothes I wear for 3 months of the year. Maybe it is because we have NO clue what this summer will be like. If the spring is any indication, it will be a hot one, but who knows around here, it could turn into a crappy summer at the drop of a hat. Maybe it is a combination of all of the above.<br />
<br />
I think part of the struggle is that I love dresses in the summer. It is just so easy. But, I don't have enough dresses to get me to a full wardrobe. And well, I don't want to buy any more if I am not going to wear them a lot. Plus, I do want to have the option to wear shorts and capris, and I need at least 1 pair of jeans. I think I just don't know what my summer style is. <br />
<br />
So, for the first time, I am taking some advice that my friend A gave me and I am not assuming that anything is staying. I am trying it all on and deciding if it really works for the summer. It is a much slower process this time. <br />
