June 2019 -12 Months, 12 Outfits – based on 6 Hermes Scarves

June 3, 2019

I’m sitting in a kitchen in Washington DC right now, where it is HOT!!! Putting together outfits with summer dresses felt just right…

1. Hermes Rosace de Janos with color palette

scarf – Hermès

This just feels cool to look at, doesn’t it?

2. blue summer dress with accessories

scarf – Hermès; dress – Chinti & Parker; earrings – Lizzie Fortunato; bracelet – Argento Vivo; bag – Anya Hindmarch; sandals – Bernardo

I’m still smitten with this – maybe it’s all the stripes?

3. capsule wardrobe in black, white and shades of blue

While dresses aren’t as versatile as separates, there are still at least a few options with any dress…

4. 2 ways to wear a blue dress from a capsule wardrobe

Still loving this color scheme…

5. Hermes Appaloosa des Steppes with color palette

Technically, they call this a kaftan, but let’s not haggle over terminology…

6. lilac summer dress with accessories

scarf – Hermès; earrings – Noir; bracelet – Kohl’s; kaftan – Pippa Holt; tote – Baggu; sandals – Rebecca Minkoff

All looking good…

7. capsule wardrobe in navy, white, and shades of purple

One might wear this dress often in hot weather!

8. 2 ways to wear a lilac summer dress from a travel capsule wardrobe

I still find this palette intriguing. It’s not common, but it seems to work well!

9. Hermes Act III, Scene I with color palette

scarf – Hermes

Such a classic dress…

10. coral summer dress with accessories

scarf – Hermes; earrings – Nadri; bracelet – Auree Jewellery; dress – Lands’ End; bag – Esin Akan; sandals – Ecco

Even though this is an unusual palette, it hangs together nicely!

11. capsule wardrobe in grey, ivory and shades of apricot and coral

A simple dress like this can be worn in all kinds of ways. One could even put a sweater over it, and use it as a skirt and tank top…

12. 2 ways to wear a coral dress from capsule wardrobe

To me, this color palette feels traditional, although the image on the scarf is anything but…

13. Hermes Zouaves et Dragons with color palette

scarf – Hermes

I love the classic feel of this. I picture this heroine as having an important job, and lots of excellent leisure activities…

this dress comes in black… do I need another black dress?

14. navy summer dress with accessories

scarf – Hermes; earrings – Brooks Brothers; bracelet – Argento Vivo; dress – Lands’ End; bag – Holly & Tanager; sandals – Munro

One could do a lot of things with this wardrobe, small as it is:

15. capsule wardrobe in navy, beige, and wine

A classic dress is very versatile!

16. 2 ways to wear a navy dress from a capsule wardrobe

These colors are also really unexpected, but I’m happy with this heroine’s wardrobe…

17. Hermes Jeu de Soie with color palette

scarf – Hermes

Perfect for warm weather…

18. summer turquoise dress with accessories

scarf – Hermes; earrings – Carousel Jewels; bracelet – Ruddock Jewellery; dress – Eileen Fisher; bag – Little Liffner; sandals – Seychelles

These colors are so fun…

19. capsule wardrobe in brown, turquoise, red, and white

Another simple dress with lots of options!

20. 2 ways to wear a turquoise dress from a capsule wardrobe

I still adore this scarf!

21. Hermes Les Nouveaux Amoureux de Paris with color palette

scarf – Hermes

I need this dress too! (not really, but tempting…)

22. black summer dress with accessories

scarf – Hermes; earrings – Ruddock Jewellery; bracelet – The Met Store; dress – Eileen Fisher; bag – Bottega Veneta; sandals – Jeffrey Campbell

 

This month, I think this is my favorite wardrobe!

23. capsule wardrobe in black, ivory, and olive

It’s not at all surprising that a simple black dress has potential:

24. 2 ways to wear a black dress from a capsule wardrobe

Which appeals this month? Do you ever find that you want a particular garment from a different wardrobe than your favorite? (I still want some of the striped things from the first wardrobe…)

love,

Janice

    I’m still in love with the purple capsule wardrobe. I really like that purple kaftan but not the price! Really, all these wardrobes are pretty.

    Brown’s, the link for the caftan dress, is giving me a price of over $1, 100 (without shipping)! Pretty dress, but I just bought an appealing cotton summer dress for an eighth of the price (okay, on sale). Every woman has her price point, so for someone else a grand might be not much… but I work with a smaller budget when buying play/vacation clothes for our short summer season.

    So many good summer dresses—thanks! I’m still a fan of the blue-and-black wardrobe (although not so much of the scarf—is that weird?)

      Not weird at all – you would just want to find an scarf in a pattern that you love, in those colors. It’s tough sometimes, when you like one aspect of a scarf but not others. Happily, the world is full of scarves! (and jewelry, if you’re not a scarf person…)

    That blue woven leather bag is gorgeous. AND I’m thinking ECCO must be following your blog and designed those orange and silver sandals just for you. They are perfect.

    I am not a scarf person at all, so the scarves don’t affect my preference for any of the capsules. Actually, there is not one of the color schemes that appeal to me outright (I am a light summer with pale eyes, pale skin and white hair). Blues are my favorite, so some of the first capsule is fetching. However the style and feeling of the last capsule makes it my front-runner monthly. Well done!

      I think that the last capsule is the easiest to imagine in other colors.

    Beautiful outfit ideas…especially when it’s blazing hot outside! Thank you for all of your posts. I’m a style, scarf and art aficionado! I am always looking for new ways to pack and incorporate color palettes in my travel and home outfits. ?❤

    I Love the look of the turquoise dress with the dark brown acessories. Very eyecatching.

    They are all lovely. My favorites are the Appaloosa and Zouaves. In reality, I’m not disciplined enough to stay in 1 color family like the Appaloosa. Zouaves would be a more realistic option.

      It’s important, and very wise, to know what’s right for you. If you are more comfortable with a bigger color palette, then that’s what you should do!

    My preference seems to be the first collection in blue, white and black as I can see adding other colours like green, pink and purple in the future. I love dresses and colour so this month’s collection of dresses in those gorgeous colours really appeals to me.

    Unlike last year, there’s not one wardrobe that matches my own palette perfectly (it was pointbox). But in fact that makes the whole series more useful for me because I’m finding lessons and pieces that I love in many of the wardrobes. This month, my favorite is the peach and grey. I think the lesson for me here is how lovely light grey works with brights, which I can translate easily to my own wardrobe.

    I’m late with this, but I did finally get something for June!

    July will come from TNT (‘tried N true’) patterns that I won’t have to fit before sewing….
