12 more garments, also from L.L.Bean. And then, I thought I would show all of the possible outfits... When I got up to 48 outfits, I threw in the towel. And these outfits were assembled BEFORE I ever started using the navy corduroy pants, or the navy tee shirt, or the striped oxford shirt, or the blue jeans... So okay, this wardrobe doesn't include any lime green. No orange. No abstract prints. No platform pumps... Some of us are fine without those things.
Scarf – Missoni, scarf – Marc Jacobs, grey boots – Pas de Rouge, grey flats - Rochas

I know, everybody HATES L.L.Bean clothes, but their clothes are perfect for illustrating the concept of building a capsule wardrobe by fours. And frankly, there's a world full of women who would look better dressed in these simple garments, rather than the gaudy, poorly-made tat that they're wearing... (none of us, of course, but we all know people who might tone it down a notch or two...)Rather than using accessories from Bean, I've chosen a few things from the other end of the fashion scale - iconic scarves, fabulous shoes. That's the real beauty of simple, unadorned clothes in neutral colors - they serve as a perfect base for accessories that do the real "talking".
