I'm a bit behind with my posting on this and it is due to the tragic loss suffered by fellow blogger and friend Sister Wolf who eldest son passed away on Sunday. He had recently had more surgery after a long bout of previous surgery and recovery. She has made a brief statement. I have to confess to barely getting dressed on Monday although the house got really cleaned, the petit garcon was thoroughly spoiled and Mr MDS was greeted by the perfect housewife with a gin & tonic for him and supper on the table. Even if you don't know or read Sister Wolf a small moments thought of well wishing would be a lovely gesture.
My capsule 5 consists of 2 jumpsuits, 2 tops and a dress. It is nice and warm currently even though it is raining a lot. As long as the weather doesn't change I won't have to resort to a pashmina for warmth.
l to r: black Topshop jumpsuit, teal ASOS jumpsuit (both this season), grey Gap dress (4 yrs old) Hussain Chalayan tank (TK Maxx find) Reiss top (Sept 09).Yesterday I wore the dress on its own with flip flops and my WendyB Little Woolf necklace
Today I'm wearing the grey dress with Reiss top over it and have added a scarf and some wedges. The petit garcon made a last minute dash into the picture sporting an Iron Man mask and a Woody the cowboy hat. Oh and that is my suitcase and bag packed on standby for Belfast.
Lovely capsule and I wish your friend well. The thought of any mother losing a son is so desperateley sad.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful capsule wardrobe, I'd love every item in that collection.
ReplyDeleteAdore the petit garcon!
Much love to Sister Wolf.

LOL -- I was thinking, "What is that creature standing near her?"
ReplyDeleteSuch sad news re: sister wolf. Petite garcon looks fabulous, as do you!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about Sister Wolf - I hope she's okay.
ReplyDeleteThat mask is curiously scary...
Lovely note on Sister Wolf.
ReplyDeleteAnd you've now convinced me to go get a jumpsuit, and petit garcon - what an inspiration!
Yes, it's so very sad about Sister Wolf. I will make an extra effort to spend time with my son this week.
ReplyDeleteSummer wardrobe...not here in LA where it is fogy and gray outside.
I love all, but the skirt and the beautiful scarf are so precious :)))
ReplyDeleteah!
ReplyDeleteso sweet petit garçon!
I need to try the capsule wardrobe challenge, and I've earmarked my wardrobe for a revamp after reading one of your earlier posts!
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are with Sister Wolf, its very sad news.
your little chappie is so cute love it he had to get in the photo. I'm so sorry to hear about sister wolf's son. Too sad for words. My deepest sympathy x
ReplyDeleteIs accessorising with a mini Iron Man in the rules! I love how he paired it with the cowboy hat LOL!
ReplyDeleteKindest thoughts to Sister Wolf
WOW I love the items you picked for the challenge.
ReplyDeleteMakes me feel like a total loser as I just picked out 5 dresses. I feel I am cheating :(
I loved you picture specially with your petit garcon!
Oh wow, what an excellent idea! It would be great to do that every week for work (think how much hassle it would save).
ReplyDeleteNice outfit, the grey goes lovely with the bold scarf, and the wedges.
I was really sad to hear about Sister Wolf's son, I usually read her blog but have never commented. I hope she's bearing up as well as can be expected and surrounded by the people who love her.
Having those two tops in the mix make so many things possible: like how you put one over the dress to completely change the look! Well done!
ReplyDeleteLPG looks so cute!
I love this challenge...might have to take it up myself. =D
ReplyDeleteThe petit garcon is adorable. =)
And that was a lovely note about Sister Wolf. I absolutely adore her and this is so, so tragic.
This is a lovely tribute to SW make Do Kate. She has a lot of cyber support.
ReplyDeleteLove the Petit Garcon's cute outfit. xx
Nice capsule.
