Color palette musings for the warm spring type

In my last post, I was waffling about how confused I got when I tried to find my color type - and my stunned face when I discovered that my current wardrobe is wrong, all wrong!! Ok, so off with the drama, and on with the action. I have spend a ridiculous amount of time on pinterest as well as various blogs ( hello, Vivienne Files! ) and I have come up with a plan. Looking closer at some of the things I currently own and some of the colors of the warm spring palette, I came up with a plan on how to build my new wardrobe, color-wise. It slowly feels as if I could write a doctoral thesis about my wardrobe as well once my actual one is done. I am right in the flow here, so why not, eh? Right, so here is the color scheme for warm spring again: From these colors, I love dark brown, teal, stone and rust. I also had a look at these color schemes I found on pinterest: Love the chocolate brown and rust in the upper picture, the jade and bright b...

Evaluating my warm spring type capsule wardrobe

A few days ago I looked up some things from my capsule wardrobe planning and realized that I bought and created the capsule in September. Time flies when you are having fun, huh? Or well, time flies when you are wrapping up a PhD thesis. Anyhow, we are now almost three months further and that to me means its time to evaluate. Cannot help it, I am a scientist. Need.to.evaluate.data.... Let me show you again what my current capsule wardrobe looks like: I went for a color scheme that was supposed to work well with a warm spring color type. My color choices were basics in navy and dark brown and accents in teal and marigold. I also had a few black pieces that were fairly new and wanted to "use them up". The whole wardrobe consists of 21 pieces, how is that for a minimalist approach? So, how did that go? Well, after a few weeks I had already picked my favourites. There were also a few pieces I was not so happy about. And this first impression did not change over the ...

My second and third trimester capsule wardrobe

As I am entering "countdown phase" - only a week until me due date - I thought it would be fun to share my capsule wardrobe during pregnancy with you. Note that I only have 16 pieces of clothing and three pairs of shoes. For more variation, I added jewelry. Depending on the occasion, I would use some nice and elegant pieces or bold statement / costume jewelry. First things first, you will notice that there is no first trimester capsule wardrobe over here. That is because I really did not need any other clothes during the first trimester. My fall / winter 2014/15 capsule was working just fine. If you want to see how that wardrobe looked like, click here . As for the second trimester, I first wore a lot of clothes handed down to me from a friend. The only new items I bought were the two cardigans you can see in the upper picture, the dusty pink blazer and the short black dress. Eventually I grew out of most of her hand me downs while at the same time the weather was gett...
