Capsule wardrobe: Day 23

September 23rd, 2010 by Penny Golightly

Deay 23 in the Big Brother wurdrobe, and Penny is getting sick of khaki…

The outfit:

Red dress, black waistcoat, black trainers.

Also added:

  • Heavy rib black long sleeve t-shirt
  • Heavy rib black tights

I love this outfit, nice and cheery on a cold, grey day. Also warm and toasty.

What do you think? Are you doing a capsule wardrobe yourself?

Capsule wardrobe: Day 21 and 22

September 22nd, 2010 by Penny Golightly

Today I was at the Designer Jumble Sale, which was a bit like a sample sale but with mostly second hand and vintage clothes. I wore something I could quickly throw clothes on over, or under, so I didn’t have to queue for the changing cubicles.

Here’s the outfit:

Green and purple dress, brown shoes, green bag.

Also added:

  • Khaki opaque tights

Yesterday I had meetings in town and needed to look vaguely presentable and ladylike. Vaguely, anyway.

The outfit:

Grey and cream stripe top, khaki skirt, brown shoes.

Tomorrow I need to have a khaki-less 24 hours. Am all khaki’d out…

Capsule wardrobe: Day 20

September 20th, 2010 by Penny Golightly

A quick outfit for a busy Monday.

Here’s what I wore:

Waterfall cardigan (done up as a draped crossover top), khaki trousers, tan belt, brown shoes.

Also added:

  • tan coloured t-shirt under the top

Would probably not have worn something like this if I’d been left to my own devices, but did really like it once it was on.  It’s quite handy to have cardigans that can be done up to wear as tops or dresses, or shirts that can be worn open as jackets – gives you a few more options.

Capsule wardrobe: Day 18 and 19

September 19th, 2010 by Penny Golightly

Saturday was a writing-shopping-dinner-and-a-movie kind of day.

Here’s the outfit:

Long-line cardigan (worn done up as a jumper dress), black boots.

Also added:

  • Long black t-shirt
  • Grey leggings

Not bad, trust me when I say that this combination looks better on.

On Sunday I had to run out for groceries, had a recce round the nearest Poundland (details coming soon), went for a walk, and got some cooking and gardening done. Also finally got around to watching Paranormal Activity on DVD. We can safely say that Sunday was not the most glamorous day of the week, but here’s what I wore:

Grey and silver top, orange scarf, black skirt, grey baseball boots, tan bag.

Also added:

  • Grey chevron tights

No idea what I’m going to wear tomorrow because most things are in the wash.

Are you wearing a capsule wardrobe? Do you find it easy to work with?
