September is here and so are my first looks for this month’s capsule wardrobe. The first look that I put together from my pieces was a look I really liked and wore to work. I’m not sure that I loved it but when I wore it I knew that it embodied a casual “me” style.
A denim vest is one of those pieces that can be a completer for a variety of looks. For this look the denim added blue to the green skirt and I adore that color combination. After work I decided to snap some pictures in the afternoon breeze and sunshine.
I think a goal of a capsule wardrobe is learn to remix your pieces and create new looks. While I had a couple of base pieces on I thought I would try at least one more completer piece and I came up with look as well.
When I first chose my pieces I hadn’t thought about this skirt with the kimono, so I was completely surprised to put it together and found it worked.
While I had the skirt and tank on I thought I would look for one more look to try. Typically, I don’t layer a button down over a tank but when I tried it I was surprised again. It turned out to be a cute look.
And then it got just a little breezy…which is always welcome during a hot afternoon in Texas.

These are the first looks I put together for this capsule wardrobe remix. Now it’s time for the confession. If you read my post on Monday {here} you might remember that I only had 27 pieces and said I might add one more. Well, I decided to add the white tank. How did I forget a white tank or tee in a capsule wardrobe anyway??? Now I’m at the 28 pieces total. But did you notice I’m wearing a chambray? Yep, that didn’t make the pictures on Monday. It was in my original pieces and pictures but for some reason I changed the collage and added a different button. I’m making my correction now. Here’s the original blouse that is being deleted {like it was supposed to be} and the chambray will be added. I hope that makes sense. Here’s the blouses.
One more thing, friends. Did you notice I’m still wearing the two pair of shoes that I have worn all summer. Both of these have been so versatile throughout the summer and will probably carry me through much of this month. A little bit of less is more in the shoe department.
Have you thought about trying a capsule wardrobe or a seasonal capsule wardrobe? Why not jump in and try it during the month of September? I’d love to have you join in. I’ll add a link up next week and right now you can post your looks on Instagram and use the hashtag #septembercapsule.
If you’re still not sure about limiting your pieces for a month why not try this? Head to your closet and choose a bottom and top {or a couple of tops} like in this post and see if you can create some looks just by changing out completer pieces {sweaters, jackets, vests, button-downs or scarves}. I’d love to hear about what you discovered right in your closet! And if you’re looking for a little more inspiration, stop by and see my friends Karen at She Thought She Could and Alex at Undergraduate Style with their capsule wardrobes for this month.
Hope y’all have a lovely day! Thanks so much for stopping by today.
