Building a Capsule Wardrobe by Starting with a Scarf: Hermes Reve de Corail
I get LOTS of questions about what to wear with scarves - many people seem to feel that they're not wearing their scarves as often as they should. So I'm going to walk you through what I think of, when I see a scarf for which someone wants suggestions.First, the obvious way to wear a scarf - match the colors! Wearing a scarf with two differently colored garments can make it clear that this ensemble wasn't an accident.

75/25: A Common Capsule Wardrobe, and Signature Red
November 29, 2012
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

Capsule Wardrobe Project 333: my clothes, step by step
I was not able to finish navy/grey last night, so I'm doing another step-by-step, this time using my own personal 333. This is a thought process that I can describe in great detail! Regarding the final number of tops, jackets, cardigans etc.: start with a general target number for your final wardrobe. I personally like to have 10 "bottoms" (i.e. skirts or pants), and I want 6 or 8 cardigans or blazers, because I wear them frequently. And I know going in that I want to include both a very basic black knit dress, and my road-warrior black velvet Eileen Fisher dress. First, I of course will start with black. I wear a lot of black, and I never get bored or tired of it. (lots of scarves ... View the Post

None of this makes me want to race out and shop, but then I'm leaving for Paris in 3 days... ... View the Post
