Capsule wardrobe #15

Today's capsule pieces might look similar to you, I have worn this combination some time ago in spring..

For today's summery look, replacing the strong accents of orange and blue with light and soft shades. As with all capsule pieces, it does not really matter which colour they are, as long as they are neutral enough to make a canvas, or base. What pulls the look together, is the colour match of the tank top and scarf, in this case purple, but of course it would work equally well in many other colours too.

Capsules: taupe knitted vest, beige/purple tank top, white jeans
Shoes: silver Orans
Accessories: 'Belles de Mexique' PM mousseline, Lima ring and MT horn cuff
Scarf ring: MaiTai Collection (honey moyenne)
Scarf tying method: to come

  3. You're the only person I know, who can "glow" so much, while wearing cool colours! Have a great weekend, hugs, Macs

  4. Thank you, dearest Macs. The 'glow' though is due to the window I am standing next to, lol. Wishing you a wonderful weekend too, hugs.

  5. No reason to be modest - as I was talking about your inner shine/glow and so far I've never heard of a window, which can create that! :-))

  6. MaiTai, another wonderful look. I love the soft purple tones - so perfect for summer.

    Also, wanted to thank you for sharing the Pavlova recipe. Along with a little Champagne it will be just the thing for a belated but joyous Bastille Day Celebration this weekend.

    Bonne week-end!
