I think I am more partial to your slightly lighter shade of cobalt, too. I have a cardigan in this shade that I like to wear.

Joy, thank you!  I hope so, too. Cardiff girl, I appreciate your words.    I also can't wait for the life, including dressing, to become more normal.  I will try to post more outfits then. Katerina, SO lovely to see you here.  Thank you for the compliment, it seems that we share the love of blazers and cobalt.

Angie, you are very kind.  I don't have any outfits to post at the moment - I am in loungewear or athleisure all the time.  I think I have about one "real" outfit per month, if that.   I think my last one was from last month when I went to Baltimore for a check-up.  I will try to remember to recreate and post it tomorrow. Lisa, that is very nice of you.  I enjoy seeing your wonderful outfits on the forum.   I think I will try posting mine again once I am back to the office, and I hope that is sooner rather than later. UmmLila, thank you for the lovely words.   I will try to take a photo of  turquoise suit on me tomorrow and post it.  Dana on "My cobalt, white and black office wear capsule" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-cobalt-white-and-black-office-wear-capsule#post-2155131 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 18:49:32 +0000 Dana 2155131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh my goodness! Your capsule is amazing!!!! I own those Theory cobalt pants on the top row. I don't get the chance to wear them all that much as they're dressy and probably a little tight on my tummy right now, lol. I also have a cobalt cold shoulder dress. I've got blonde hair, too and feel like cobalt overpowers me sometimes. I think we're style twins!  UmmLila (Lisa) on "My cobalt, white and black office wear capsule" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-cobalt-white-and-black-office-wear-capsule#post-2155127 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 18:34:44 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2155127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is an amazing collection.

What a feast for the eyes! I am imagining the lace skirt with the sleeveless print silk blouse -- gorgeous! Tanya on "My cobalt, white and black office wear capsule" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-cobalt-white-and-black-office-wear-capsule#post-2155101 Fri, 20 Nov 2020 17:50:49 +0000 Tanya 2155101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have not posted anything in ages, but am always reading the blog and the forum and commenting from time to time.   Life is both busy and boring - lots of work from home (super-long hours), where I predominantly wear loungewear, then some cooking, reading and long walks.    Today's blog post inspired me to post my cobalt capsule, which is currently sitting in my closet and waiting for the return to the office. I wear cool tones, and have dark blond hair.  I love cobalt, and wear most shades , but I avoid wearing the brightest ones right next to my face as they tend to be a bit overwhelming.   Throughout the past couple of years I built an office wear capsule that is based on mixing and matching various black, white or b&w patterned pieces with cobalt.  There is also a lot of pattern mixing involved. The capsule is shown in finds, but I didn't include most of various solid black or white pieces that round it up (other then the last row).  There are some patterned b&w pieces in the two rows before the last that play major roles.   The heart of the capsule is Theory glen plaid suit from the first row, which has a touch if cobalt in the pattern.   I got the same pants in solid cobalt, too, however skipped the matching solid cobalt blazer which was too harsh on me.  There is a bunch of solid cobalt tops, and some patterned ones.  The two floral silk blouses were acquired specifically to mix the plaid suit.   I am Ok with bright cobalt tops as long as I have a neutral blazer over them.  The two b&w suits from the bottom don't have any cobalt in them, however I love to separate and mix pieces from all the three suits.  There are also two dresses and some accessories. There is a bunch of scarves I have not included.  A good number of pieces is pretty old, some are newer, and there are a couple bought during the crazy pandemic sales period (the windowpane suit, the long sleeved dress) that are yet to be worn. I am pretty happy with this capsule.  The only things I would like to add are a flowy midi cobalt skirt and a tweed blazer that has a good amount of cobalt in it, but I am very picky and am waiting for the perfect items.
