Pantone, bless their silly hearts, actually gave us TEN "new" colors for Spring and Summer 2013. Now we, as wise humans, understand that you can't invent a color, but we also appreciate that the Pantone nod of approval means that these colors will be available in stores. So if we're considering a new accent color for 2013, we are going to have choices...Dusk blue is pretty, versatile, flattering to most of us, and easy to mix with your current core wardrobe.

To great fanfare, 2013's "color of the year" has been announced, and it's the very easy-to-wear emerald! Emerald's particularly "neutral" to most capsule wardrobes, because it's a perfect balance of yellow and blue i.e. a perfect balance of warm and cool. This means, theoretically, that pretty much everybody should be able to wear it without looking ghastly...First off, let me make it perfectly clear that if you don't LIKE green (okay, LOVE it), you don't have to participate in this little marketing-driven pseudo-trend. Green becomes the color of the year when everybody is TOLD that it's the color of the year, and then they all buy it, and voila, the prediction comes true. Heaven knows that I didn't participate in ... View the Post

Originally, where I thought I was going with the idea of a common capsule wardrobe was to show that a wardrobe of 75% neutral, basic, "work horse" garments could be made unique and extremely versatile using 25% "signature" garments. We all got swept up in a tide of great accessories, and I lost track of where I was headed! But now I've returned to my original idea: the Common Capsule Wardrobe, with 4 "accent" garments, and some accent accessories...Does it go without saying that you could wear one of these outfits, pack the rest of the garments, and be in good shape for quite a long trip?
And muddle this over for a moment - project 333 could be 2 ... View the Post
Yes, I really don't like his skull things... but someone specifically asked me what to wear with the camouflage print in subtle beige, taupe, brown and a touch of peach; I couldn't resist these colors! This is all about soft, subtle, with unexpected mixes of cool and warm colors.
