Autumn Capsule '17 | The Outfits

Saturday, January 06, 2018

Once again my capsule started out looking very different to how it ended. I swapped a number of maternity items for normal clothes, and swapped a few other items, adding some new colourful purchases made in November and early December.

My green skirt got a lot of wear in the autumn. Mild weather in early October allowed me to stick with bare legs for a few weeks, before layers and boots took over.

And I love how it worked with layers. It's by far my favourite purchase of 2017, and worth every penny of it's rather reasonable £25.60 price tag.


The addition of colour really cheered me up. I've hardly stopped wearing the new items since they arrived - a sign of a good purchase I think.



The original capsule had 36 items.


The final edit had just 30, but it was more than enough to see me through.

The green skirt remains in my winter capsule, along with a lot of the items purchased recently, and a leather jacket I found hanging in the cupboard under the stairs that I'd completely forgotten about. I love how discovering an old favourite, and a few new items can rejuvenate your wardrobe. I feel like I've got so many new outfit combinations, I particularly love my new pink jumper worn with my old khaki mini skirt.

I've found wearing colour to be a fabulous antidote to the January blues. I hope 2018 is treating you well so far.

  1. Your green skirt has definitely been a good buy and it's something that you can wear the whole year round, I can see it making it into your spring capsule too.

    1. I think it will too. The material is reasonably thick which means it works in cooler weather, but it's voluminous enough not to be hot in warmer months.

  2. Surely, you've worn your green skirt more than 30 times by now! I'm amazed by its versatility and all the combinations you've worn it in, my favourite being the one with the pink jumper! I'm also loving that green jumper very much! xxx

    1. Definitely. This will be an item that's worn until it falls apart. I like it with the pink jumper - it has to be my most colourful outfit combination. The green jumper is nice, isn't it? Not the right shade to be worn with the green skirt, but that's probably a good thing!

  3. I really like the items AND the outfits you created with this capsule and actually they have brightened my day too. The hot pink jumper is fab and so striking. For some reason I didn't notice your bag had a Yes AND No side! X

    1. Thank you, I think the colour is set to stay! Sadly the pink jumper is showing signs of wear already so I don't know how long it'll last.
      The bag is great isn't it? x
