Visible Monday - Shop in Your Closet

I am joining a new group on this Monday morning.

Visible Monday

A shopper I am not!  That being said, I did happen into a department store this past week and browsed their sales.

I found this cute little Alex Marie dress that I decided didn't need to remain in the store.

After getting it home, I realized I had a variety of little jackets that would take this little sheer dress into a Louisiana fall.

This little black jacket and chunky silver necklace bring out the darker tones in the pattern and dress it up a bit.

 I love the way this bright yellow shrug and gold jewel necklace, make the outfit more festive.

 This gray jacket adds a softer affect.  I combined it with
a necklace of pearls and silver.

 I have already found a couple more jackets that can change up this little dress.

Now, what do you think about adding these cute little yellow AK ballet flats?

Cute aren't they?  And a real deal from Macy's this spring.

Can you shop in your closet and come up with some new outfits too?

Have a great Monday.

Potpourri Friday - My Fall Wardrobe Capsule

Last week I was inspired by Kathy Sue at Good Life of Design when she posted her Color Scheme for the Fall and Winter.  Since I am a firm believer in Capsule Wardrobe Planning and try really hard to implement what I teach to others, I decided to post one of my capsules.

Joining up with Potpourri Friday 2805

 

Because my home-based business requires that I wear only dresses/skirts when representing my company (Mary Kay), I will show what I've put together for my Fall work capsule.

Remember, I am an Autumn so this is the color combination around which I have based this capsule:
Black

Brown

Purple

 Dresses

I also have suits that repeat these colors and an assortment of jackets can be used with each of these dresses.

Accessories

 I have become a scarf lover the past few years and think these would dress up or down the dresses so nicely.

As you can tell, many of these pieces of jewelry are interchangeable with all three dresses.  I always wear a bracelet.  A stylist taught me years ago to never leave the house without a bracelet.  So I try not to.

Shoes

 These are just four pairs of my favorites.  I also have brown, navy and black heels in case I need to change out of the comfortable flats.

Of course there are additional jackets and sweaters to throw on when I need a sleeve or occasion change.

Fall is right around the corner, so put together your own wardrobe capsule.  I would love to hear what colors you plan to dress in this fall.
