September 20, 2013 Ah, these color names are always good for a laugh. This is sort of orange, to me. Maybe goldfish. But under any name, this is a radiant color that is PERFECT for autumn and winter...

Capsule Wardrobe Fall Accent Color: Deep Lichen Green
September 14, 2013 This is another Pantone seasonal color that feels a lot like a neutral to me - and a beautiful neutral! There are lots of items available in this color; if you aren't comfortable wearing this near your face, there are still a lot of options for shoes and pants...

Capsule Wardrobe Fall Accent 2013: Vivacious

There are at least a dozen MORE outfits that I haven't shown here...

Integrating a scarf into A Common Capsule Wardrobe: Hermes Coup de Fouet
June 11, 2013 So one of you recently purchased a very beautiful scarf, and now you're feeling.... stuck? unsure? It's a common situation, and one that's pretty simple to remedy.
This is the lovely object in question, entitled "Crack of the Whip". Striking graphics, and an unexpected juxtaposition of yellow in the middle of the purples and blues - those Hermes people are good... First thing you have to isolate is what color or colors drew you into this scarf? If it was the turquoise, for example, you might find that you already own the following items, to complement your scarf.
Further, let's assume that you own some version of The Common Wardrobe, a couple of simple dresses, and a ... View the Post

Part 2, Accessories Step by Step: Khaki and Green

Bandanna - Jacob Cohen, watch - Wewood, star scarf - Dianora Salviati, green earrings- Nan Fusco, bracelet - Chan Luu, striped scarf - Faliero Sarti, necklace - Seta di Jaipur
Picking patterned scarves is exponentially more difficult than working with solid scarves, but for this wardrobe I've stuck with the simplest solution - scarves that combine the two or three main colors of the wardrobe. As a reminder, the adjectives I was keeping in mind while searching for accessories included natural, organic, lineny, matte textured, and relaxed.
A bandanna seems obvious, but this one, ... View the Post

Black, White and Pink – expanding on a core wardrobe
May 24, 2013
Let's go back and visit our friend who loves black, white and pink. She has a black suit - remember? and I suspect that she has a simple black sweater to wear with her black cardigan. And she wouldn't be a real lover of pink if she doesn't have a pretty pink blouse. Since she owns black pants, a pair of black loafers would certainly be included. So she has a core of items looking kind of like this:
White cardigan - Rag & Bone, black blazer, skirt and pants - Mango, pink cardigan - J. Crew, black cardigan - J. Crew, black sleeveless sweater - J. Crew, sunglasses - Ray-Bans, pink silk blouse - J. Crew, ring - Baccarat, black ... View the Post

A Common Capsule Wardrobe: A variation of the standard, in navy and pink
May 17, 2013
Sometime back, someone asked me if it would be possible to put together a Common Capsule Wardrobe that would include neither black nor white.
Of course! Pretty much anything is possible with clothing - my first idea was to work with simple navy and pink garments, while keeping a bit of grey and khaki. While you couldn't wear every last possible sort of accessory with these colors, you would still have a great many options...
Shall I build some variations with accessories? Let me know; this could be a lot of fun!
