Hello … can you believe January is almost over? I really don’t know where the time goes … I’m already starting to think about spring … wishful thinking maybe, but hey, it’s really not that far off! It’s also a great time to share some news on upcoming capsule wardrobes!
I know many of you try to escape the harsh winter climate by scheduling vacations and beach getaways during the winter months, and packing for those can be tricky … you want to pack light, but nothing is worse than getting to your destination and not having the things you need, or wishing you’d packed more. Well, the trick is not to pack more, but to pack smart … so, next week I’ll share a Beach Getaway Capsule, which will include all the essentials for a week-long beach vacay. Like the Essential 25, it’ll be full of versatile, timeless classics that you can mix and match to create a variety of looks (and that you can fit in your suitcase without issue).
I’m also putting together a Spring Capsule Collection with a selection of seasonal “extras” … I’m hoping to get that to you in early-March!
But on to today’s look … one of my favorites … every single piece in this look is a timeless classic, and paired together, it’s comfortable yet incredibly polished. But it’s also versatile. The jacket and scarf let you take it almost anywhere, but shed the jacket, throw the scarf on your bag or around a ponytail and you’ve got the epitome of casual: jeans and a tee. I would argue this look is actually about five looks in one:
- As presented, jacket buttoned and scarf around your neck.
- Keep the jacket, but leave it open, tuck the tee, and use the scarf as a belt.
- Lose the jacket, half-tuck the shirt, tie the scarf around your neck in a french knot.
- Lose the jacket, fully tuck in the shirt, wrap the scarf around your ponytail or a bun.
- Lose the jacket, side-knot the tee at your waist, tie the scarf on your bag.
As always the look can be switched up for a whole different vibe with a few strategic swaps. Above I swapped out the blazer for a cozy sweater, perfect for errand running or just lounging around the house. Or take things up a notch by going for a classic french girl vibe … trade in the studs for some vintage-inspired earrings and the classic, iconic Chanel cap-toe pump. Yes, these are an investment, but a worthy one if you’re willing to save up for it. I also linked to a pair that give you the exact same look for a fraction of the price! And a red lip doesn’t hurt. Below I included a few additional swaps, mostly accessories, which though small, are mighty and can change this look’s entire vibe:
I wish you all a great rest of the week … stay warm … and keep a look out for my Beach Getaway Capsule, coming soon!
