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!

Packing for a warm-weather vacation, in red & navy

May 13, 2013

This was an interesting question - how do you pack if you want to carry on your bag, and you're on one of those airlines with a really LOW, and really STRICT, weight limit? (At least the destination was a warm weather vacation spot...) My first advice was to get the lightest bag possible - nylon, with no structure at all. You should consider lining it with dry cleaning bags, or packing your clothes in plastic bags, because these bags are not waterproof. Beyond that, a very few items of clothing, in silk, linen or cotton. No jeans -they weight too much! The other aspect of this request that really piqued my interested was the desire to wear navy, red and white - a color combination ... View the Post

Navy and Hot Pink: A Capsule travel wardrobe based on 2 scarves

I received a very specific request for a travel plan that was mostly navy, but accented with hot pink, and which wasn't "stodgy". This plan built on a "core of four" in navy: pants, skirt, cardigan and tee, and tossed in a navy dress too. A white tee shirt, a bright cardigan, and a couple of whimsical tops negate any possible worries about being too mumsy... Some fun jewelry, and you're away!

How to wear a navy v-neck sweater

March 21, 2013 As before, you will see some familiar garments and accessories. To me, it is a delightful surprise to start preparing a post with a new color of sweater, readjust my aesthetic brain to that color, and then find that there a lot of flattering "common ground" with previous posts that I've done... Today I was particularly delighted to see how well yesterday's coral tee shirt and flats flattered the navy sweater and white jeans. Although I think green and navy might be a new favorite for me!
