I’ve paused my Capsule Remixes for a few weeks as I try to sort out my closet and decide what else needs to go. Add on getting The Boy set for College and I’m a mess. I’ve been very casual with my outfits but still nice enough to run errands to grab dinner with Husband.

I cannot love this Zara Linen Top enough. I could wear it every day. I wish they had come in more colors like Black and Navy. These Loft Gingham Pants are so comfortable on. I still can’t believe they are a 6 Petite and fit!

I ventured outside to take pics for a change of scenery. I love our big Oaks in the front. 

And of course, the deer waiting on my neighbor to feed them. The babies are getting so big. Soon their little white spots will be gone.

Husband bought me this Elephant Top on his vacation. I had to do a little altering on it as the part of the top had been stitched with the side seam. He was very happy to see I was wearing his gift.

Here are a few outfits from my Week 6 Capsule Remix. I loved the Photo Floral Tap Shorts and the Zara Blouse. I honestly cannot stop wanting to wear this blouse. It goes with everything!

This outfit looked good in my Stylebook App but these shorts are a hot mess. They are super-neon which is fine but the fit, though the exact shape as the Photo Floral in the above pictures, was off. I think it was the material. These were a very thin cotton compared to the ones above. They rode up and rolled up on the legs and at the waist. I was adjusting them every time I got up.

Last Friday night had me getting out of the house for a cousin’s birthday party. The theme was 70s and we were encouraged to dress up. Well, talk about a fashion conundrum! The 70s had so many styles from continuing the hippie trend from the 60s to jumpsuits to disco fashion (polyester!) to midi skirts to high-waisted shorts.

I went straight to my closet and found my Lucky Brand Legend High-Rise Trouser Jeans {polyvore}, my Nimbin Peasant Blouse and Nori Wedges. I parted my hair down the middle and straightened it.

It seems most people went the disco way a la John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever. There was even a “John McEnroe” complete with a curly wig and headband. Pretty clever!
My guys come home today! I am so excited and pray this day goes by fast. Of course, now that I’ve said that out loud it will be the slowest.day.ever. HAHA!
Have a Great Day!

I didn’t want to let the week end and not show you how I styled the rest of my “Old School Crew” items for my Week 5 Capsule Remix. By far, my favorite of the week was the Delfine Pencil Skirt.

I felt a little exposed in the Campo di Fiori Dress. I’m not sure my girls are meant for the top of this dress. Still, it’s a gorgeous print and I’m lucky to have found it. It does run small. I found it in a size 8 originally but was able to trade it for a 10 with the lovely JCA, JCrewJD. A brown belt and shoes finished the look.

Next time I would probably tie a Chambray Shirt at the Empire Waist. Cardigans are always an option too. I’d probably go with a cropped one since the waist is so high.

I found the Hugo Guinness Tee for $20, after discount. As you can see it’s very sheer. I have on a nude bra which shows right through. The Ischia Mini Skirt has so many colors to choose from, including a Chambray Top or the Linen Perfect Shirt in Lemon Pulp.

I’ve worn this pairing before {here}. The blues match just perfectly together. This is one of my favorite prints from J Crew. The blues and browns together are so pretty. It also looks great with White Denim.

So, that’s how I styled my “Old School Crew”. How do you style yours?

The following two outfits were from last week, both involving white bottoms. I had dinner with some friends downtown on Saturday and changed from my Delfine Pencil Skirt into this. I knew I’d be walking city streets and my feet were tired from wearing heels all day so I wore the Lucie Printed Flats. The Daisy Lace Top {pin} is from Talbots, found in the sale section. It’s a lovely shade of yellow and fits well in the size 8. There is a small button in the back and a side zip that goes down, not up. There’s a similar style in red, white and blue colors. The sleeve looks a little thinner and longer. The pants are my Tory Burch Cropped Skinny Jean in White. This was perfect and comfortable for a evening out.

This was my outfit from last Friday. I love both of these items. I felt so cool, casual and comfortable that day. I’m so glad I gave the Gabo Eyelet Tee a try-on. It’s fast becoming a favorite in my closet, as are the Linen Cargo Pants. These run generously big as I’m wearing a size 4. I bought them in both colors, Pesto and White. The sandals are also J Crew, the Malta Mirror Metallic Sandals. I think this would look better with the Burnt Sienna though.

It’s so easy to get dressed when I love my clothes. 
Have a Great Day!
