I’m pretty sure that this summer’s capsule was a precursor to my decision to not shop for a year.
I was craving simplicity in my life even then when I chose a capsule full of easy separates.
And I haven’t regretted it.
But easy separates doesn’t have to equate to boring!
I love pieces like this tee and these pants… they’re basic and easy, but they bring a little pizzazz to my wardrobe.
Why?
Because of the graphics on my tee and the silhouette of the pants.
They’re basic… but they’re not.
I’m realizing more and more how important it is to have a wardrobe that does double duty.
It makes an outfit as easy as this, look instantly pulled together.

Hi Karen, I have been following your blog since last spring. I love it! The way you think and write, the way you try to be conscious about your choices, it all appeals to me. I do have a few items that make me feel comfy and dressed at the same time, like my navy blue bodywarmer. I live in the Netherlands, su summer is not always a guarantee for warm weather. With a longsleeve and a bodywarmer I feel warm and immediately!
Thank you Manon! That makes me so happy to hear! I love a good piece that’s easy to throw on and add some quick warmth to an outfit. ?
I seem to own a lot of stripes. And mostly blue and white ones. I’m not exactly sure why, except that being on the water or near water is my favorite place. Since I live in the concrete jungle of London, I guess it’s just my way of pretending I’m near the sea!
That makes total sense Andrea! I think I sometimes compensate for my location as well. ?
I’ve really been enjoying neck scarves similar to this, too. It seems to make any outfit extra chic. 🙂
Me too! They’re one of my favorite accessories!
I love a simple piece that goes with so many different items…so easy!
Same here!
I love that shirt! Graphic tees are my jam right now.
xoxo, Jenny
Thanks Jenny!
