Capsule Wardrobe

I loved this weekend’s WSJ article in the Off Duty section talking about creating a capsule wardrobe. For some of us having too many choices can be overwhelming. The idea behind the article is having a tightly edited closet with many go to basics. They selected 12 pieces and created an outfit for everyday of the week. I listed all the items below along with a couple of my picks.

  1. Nike Daybreak Sneaker
  2. Toteme Stripe Turtleneck Sweater love this look for less piece by Alex Mill that just dropped.
  3. Ralph Lauren Blue Button Down
  4. Charlotte Chesnais Mini Hoop Earrings look for less Mini Twisted Hoop.
  5. Levi 501 Skinny Jeans
  6. Celine Class Peacoat look for less J. Crew.
  7. Pearl and Gold Necklace Completed Works also like this minimalistic one from Sophie Buhai.
  8. Les Reveries Silk Floral Midi
  9. Entireworld Sweatshirt & Sweatpant
  10. Emme Parcons Julien Boot or for a more casual look Common Projects Chelsea Boot.
  11. APC Grace Crossbody Bag
  12. Tove Studio Alexa Silk Tie Detailed Top look for less Sezane Silk Suzane Blouse.

Boyfriend

I have been anxiously awaiting the opening of the new Everlane store on Abbot Kinney and stopped by yesterday. I was pressed for time so I didn’t get to dig deep into the inventory (I’ll be back soon). Just enough time to scoop up this Utility Jumpsuit and Button Down. The store is sleek, modern, and the sales associates are extremely helpful. Now on to the ever so trending boyfriend button down which I’ve been stocking up on lately.
