I hadn’t worn these pants yet which is why I included them in my first week of this capsule remix. Green and Navy is one of my favorite combos and the pops of bright yellow work so well with both colors. My big boy Gus was in my spot (probably more like I was in his) so he decided to stay in the picture. He is such a good dog, but getting slower each year. He gets these bursts of energy that are so fun to watch. And every day, two to three times a day, he patrols our fenceline. You never know what critter has come into the yard.

One good thing about working from home is that if I like something I wore, I can wear it again two days later. No one has seen me, and, if they have, they won’t see me the second day. Husband and The Boy are oblivious to what I wear as well.

The next 5 weeks are going to be super busy. To make at least getting dressed a no-brainer I’ve decided to do a mini-Remix each week. This will accomplish a few things. First, I only have 6-7 items to wear for the week. Second, I will force myself to include my new purchases from the last few weeks, bringing down the Cost-per-wear. Lastly, it will help me decide what else I need to purge from my closet.

With the help of my Stylebook App, I have created Looks for each week. In those Looks, I’ve pulled 6-7 items, not including shoes. I will try to use the same 2-3 pairs of shoes for the week. I even have a Black & White week set up with only one t-shirt included! I tend to buy Navy over Black clothing so that week will be interesting. The other thing is I’ve tried to incorporate something I’ll wear for the special event of that week. This way, I’m not deviating from my original choices.

Here are the items for this week. I would call this my Blue & White with a pop of color week.

And here is today’s look, the first day for this week. I purchased the Lidia Linen Polo during the Tory Burch Friends & Family. I just love the ruffle at the collar and button-placket! I could honestly wear these jeans every single day. I really really need to get another pair!

And a sneak peek for the next few weeks. Depending on how I feel this is going I may modify it some.

I’m excited to try this out, having been inspired recently by ABC. She just puts together outfits so well in her capsules (scroll down on the right-hand side of her page).

I was finally able to find my fit in the Seville Wedge Espadrille last year when J Crew started making these in half sizes, taking a 6 1/2. I bought them in Navy and and Chambray and wore them both quite a bit last year and already a few times this year. The new colors added this year are Citrus Lime and Vintage Surplus. I think the Sandstone may have been called Flax last year.

I had to get the Citrus Lime. The bright yellow was just calling out to me. That my store actually had this color was a sign they were meant to be added to my closet. Add the GOSHOP promo and home they came with me.

These are going to really stand out this Summer. I can’t wait to wear them but first I will treat them. Gigi uses Vectra Spray and I finally decided to give it a try. It  works well on repelling stains and liquid and you can use it on leather, satin, silk, etc.

Do you own the Seville Wedge Espadrilles? Do you like the new colors this year?

This outfit is actually a repeat from last year but I never published it anywhere. I wore this to what was to be the last Soccer playoff game of the season. The boys tried their best but we lost in the end. It was a great season and they should all be proud of their accomplishments and how far they did get in the playoffs!

The Aberra Tee from Tory Burch has been on my wishlist since it came out. It was never in my local store so I wasn’t able to try it on. I decided to wait to see if my size made it to sale and luckily enough it did. With beautiful warm sunny days and busy weekends it feels good to bring in Spring without sweaters and coats.

The Boy’s Varsity Soccer Team is rolling through playoffs so I’m off to another game tonight! Hopefully this one is a straight up win. The last two games have both gone to 2 overtimes and Penalty Kicks! Nail-biters for sure.
