Capsule win


Slightly puzzled by all the snow:
drape cardi - Jigsaw
long tshirt - Levis, gift from friend
starry scarf  -  Whistles
skinny jeans - Topshop
boots - Camper
Have been away on a work trip this wek. The event was only a short train-ride from my Mum's house so I stayed over last night and took the day off work today -  a very good idea. It was a restful and fun stay. These pictures were expertly taken by my Mum earlier today, in her garden.

colours more true in this one - though
scarf is actually bottle green
I put together the most successful capsule for the (short) trip - I didn't get the chance to photograph it like this, but it was made up of:

*long draped grey cardi (as above)
*screen-print long top (as above - has a drapey/strappy bit at the back)
*blue-green tshirt
*bottle green star scarf (as above)
*silk paint-daubs scarf
*woollen dress (link)
*skinny jeans (as above)
*purple ankle boots (as above)
*purple tights & thermals - leggings & top (worn as base layers)

For a work day Tuesday I wore: cardi + star scarf + tshirt 1 + jeans + boots
For Tuesday eve casual work dinner: long top (backless) + jeans + boots
For Wednesday smart event: woollen dress + silk scarf + tights + boots
For Weds eve / Thurs: as pictured - cardi + long top + star scarf + jeans + boots

Worked beautifully. I went a bit more casual, as everyone is dressing down a bit with the snow (the UK is panicking!). Note that thermals were worn throughout :-)

Ah, the weekend approaches ... am looking forward to catching up with blogs, after one more day of travelling about tomorrow.

  1. Sounds like a good capsule's worth of items for your travels!! I adore your starry scarf and I wish I had more long cardis like that! You must be getting our snow, it's super cold here, but has barely snowed!

  2. You are GOOD at this capsule malarkey! I am a bit rubbish, I either under or over-pack. You look lovely in your mum's snowy garden. Those jeans make your legs look soooo long - or have you got taller this week?! xxx

  4. What a beautiful place for such a cute look! Sounds like a good capsule to me. I'm sure if I traveled more I'd figure out how to remix with less stuff. I need to practice more this year.

  6. Mom did great! The dotty scarf is my fave. I have been checking out Camper boots. They're a bit spendy, and you never see them in the GoodWill :( Ratz!
