More Capsules

These Capsules are taken from the book Colour Me Beautiful: Looking Your Best which is from the early 90s I think so getting a little dated now.
However it does do a 12 piece wardrobe plan for each sub season. These don't quite follow any rules that I have managed to codify into a spreadsheet, and none of them quite works for me as is, but I thought it might be useful.

This is very interesting.I have been trying to get a capsule wardrobe together, but last winter I tried grey as a theme, and my DH thought it was very dull.He really hated my charcoal cardi and skirt combo. I think I'll use more purple and warm pink as toppers this time, or silver grey.

Oh yes those sound nice. And a funky necklace or pretty scarf will also add to plainer items.
