Build a Capsule Wardrobe by Starting with a scarf: Hermès Arbre de Vie
June 2, 2012
Yes, you are seeing LOTS of "what to wear with" - especially with scarves. You can't imagine how many requests I received... But I like these little vignettes; even if you don't want to buy or wear the scarf, the colors in the scarf can be a great springboard for a few well-coordinated outfits!
And for great scarf tying ideas, check my friend Mai Tai's site; she is the complete GENIUS of scarf tying...

Build a Capsule Wardrobe by Starting with a tote bag?

Build a Capsule Wardrobe by Starting with a scarf: Hermès Les Parisiens in black
Someone asked me to suggest a few outfits to go with the lovely Les Parisiens scarf. This particular coloring is a perfect opportunity to mix warm beiges or browns with black, so I took that as my motif.Please note that I'd be more than happy to suggest outfits to go with any scarf - it certainly doesn't have to be Hermes. Just post a comment with a link to a picture of your scarf, or email me a picture at [email protected], and I'll take a look!

Build a Capsule Wardrobe Starting with a scarf: Hermès Egypte in bright green
I received a question about what could be worn with a specific Hermes scarf - one with a lot of brown, beige and camel tones in the center, and a bright green border. My suggestions include all of the shades of brown, gold, white, and navy, which is always so nice with bright green...And a lot of these clothes come from J. Crew. I've been spending a LOT of time lately in the local J. Crew store, gift shopping, and I've found that they stock a large number of nice-quality basic garments. Maybe not to your taste, or your budget, but certainly they are good "thought-starters".
Have a lovely weekend!

A Travel Capsule Wardrobe – Packing in brown and turquoise
This is the last iteration of the original "honeymoon" packing theme that I started over a week ago. But in the next few days, I'm going to do some imaginary shopping, I've got a chic sighting to share, and then I'm going to tackle a "second honeymoon in Paris" theme, which will have a slightly greater focus on neutral colors and modest silhouettes!

A Travel Capsule Wardrobe – Packing in brown and TANGERINE!
It's the color of the year! But you can still wear it and look more elegant than trendy... And I know that I said today would be the last iteration of this travel package, but someone asked me to try on turquoise, so tomorrow is brown and turquoise. It's going to be beautiful!

A Travel Capsule Wardrobe – Packing in Brown and coral, for uncertain weather
Still evolving the same packing which started with my honeymoon, I'm now thinking of a trip where you're leaving a cooler climate (maybe early autumn in northern climes) and heading south. Brown keeps your grounded in the September or October mood, but still lots of soft coral colors to enjoy your vacation destination!Tomorrow is the last installment of this particular theme and variations; I'll be using the color of the year - tangerine!!! (the identifying of annual colors always makes me laugh...)

A Travel Capsule Wardrobe in soft, warm colors with green and beige
Someone suggested that I build a wardrobe based on my old blog photograph, of Melrose Abbey in Scotland. These are beautiful, subtle colors that combine in lovely ways, and I could have chosen a hundred different palettes, just based on this one photo! Build your own color-schemes, based on photos, here.
