This is great, if I switch out the grey for taupe in my head, it looks an awful lot like the capsule I am contemplating for autumn/winter. I'm skipping summer, because it just won't get started here in Nnorthern Europe. :-(
The only good thing is the sales… Any tips on what to look out for?

Try to remember what you MOST wanted to buy for spring and summer, back in February. And then try to put yourself into NEXT summer's mindset, and try to figure out what you're going to want to wear next summer. THEN go shopping… Look for timeless, although we all know that summer clothes don't last all that long…
The perfect white linen trousers/pants… LOL.

Uhh, think about the southern and southwestern parts of the US. Compared to Chicago or northern Europe, it's summer here in Tucson at least 10 months of the year. And don't forget, based on 2012 estimates, 6 of the 11 most populous cities in the US are in the southwest or southern CA: Los Angeles (2), Houston (4), Phoenix (6), San Antonio (7), San Diego (8), Dallas (9), Austin (11). I added in Austin because it is growing so rapidly.
Neat idea. Not the colours for me, but as we say so often, that doesn't actualy matter – one just substitutes accordingly. Any chance of a similar post based on FreWille bangles? (I don't own any – just put my nose on the shop window and drool every time I pass ….. I especially like the Magic Sphynx White Pearl and the Gustav Klimt Nixe and Nixe Aqua…….)
P.S. Love those flats … off in search of French COnnection … they do them in Plum, too…….
I do like this type of jewelry, classy with some heft to it, and it goes with just about everything.
Wow – inspired!
Wonderful! I have jewelry that I love beyond words. I actually build some of my outfits around the jewelry. I loved seeing how you built a wardrobe around the same! Thank you!
I get it! We can use anything for inspiration for the colors in our capsule wardrobes – jewelry, scarves, art… A gifted artist has already done the work for us, we just need to draw the colors out. Well done! Linda
Love the bracelets. Love the capsule wardrobe. Love the entire thing. Now…this is one of those posts in which I wish I could enjoy every one of these items as my own. Love them! But, also love the accessories as capsule wardrobe inspiration. Great idea.
