Day 5 Capsule Wardrobe

Well today is the last day of the capsule wardrobe challenge and I'm showing you what I will be wearing tonight to the Vauxhall Scout Fashion party. In fact I realised that unbeknownst to Mr Marc Jacobs I'm his secret muse. I've been wearing his A/W11 collection before he's even shown at NYFW. Of course Mr Jacobs and I have been lovers of polka dots for years so perhaps it is no wonder we collided.

Isabella Oliver pencil skirt worn with Zara polka dot top, Untold polka dot tights and the Zara sale shoes.

Here are the tights in better details, it is as if I'm almost straight of the Marc Jacobs catwalk (not!)

I realised my capsule wardrobe this time was really versatile so I quickly did some other combinations of polka dot top and jeans with shoes. The dress with cardigan and the belt. Then the H&M blouse with pencil skirt et al.




It goes to show what is important in your wardrobe is a few key pieces that can be mixed and match as fall back when you utter or even think those immortal words 'I've got nothing to wear!'

What has been your favourite capsule wardrobe combination?

    Wow, I really like that last outfit with the blouse and skirt. Definitely goes to show the wisdom of having good basics like that lovely pencil skirt.

    Those are some great versatile pieces! I tend to shy away from prints, thinking they'll be difficult to coordinate, but polka dots are almost a neutral, aren't they?

    Think I'd plump for the double polkadots, too, but you chose some good 'uns this time round! Preferred your picks to last time, I think. You do ladylike beautifully. have fun tonight! Xx
