Wardrobe Capsule Challenge - The Goods

checkitout

Tomorrow not only kicks off the month of March, but also the Wardrobe Capsule Challenge invented by Jane of The Small Fabric of My Life. Now for a gal like myself that enjoys an excessive amount of clothing and accessory choices this is a bit daunting. However, I gave it some thought and pulled together my 15 items for the next five days.

Collage

The items include:
1/ Black Long Sleeve Tee
2/ "Denim" Dress
3/ Black Dress
4/ Black/White Striped Turtleneck
5/ Long Gray Zippy Jacket
6/ Gold Cardigan
7/ Gray Pinstripe Blazer
8/ Black Heels
9/ Jeans
10/ Burgundy Heels

Accessories

For my five accessories I selected:
1/ Black Belt
2/ Vintage Yves Saint Laurent Scarf
3/ Purple/Blue/Gold Circle Scarf
4/ Dark Red Belt
5/ "Crystal" Necklace

It feels weird for it to be Sunday Evening and already have my outfits mapped out for the whole week. I don't usually plan more than a day or two in advance. I'm looking forward to it though, and I am pleased to challenge myself in this way.

Are you joining in for the challenge?

That blue dress is GORGEOUS!!! I can hardly wait to see your looks. Every week is wardrobe capsule challenge for me, as my closet is pretty small. Maybe next year!

Great collection. I really wanted more color, but I couldnt decide. Your colors are great!

Kari & Nina - I've added your blogs to my Google Reader so I can be sure to keep up on your outfits! Thanks for commenting.

Totally Inspired - I felt like color and pattern was really lacking, but was afraid if I selected such "wow" pieces they would stand out and be obvious repeats. So, I opted to stick with the color and pattern fro the accessories for the most part.

Thanks, ladies, this is definitely a "challenge" for me!

i will be participating, and geekily, i mapped out a whole plethora of ways my pieces could work together, at least in theory -- seeing if some of the combos work together in reality will be interesting!
