Spring-summer capsule inspired by Angie's

I was inspired, like Sara, to create my own capsule after Angie's fantastic Summer Casual Wear Capsule post. The palette Angie used is very similar to the colors in my wardrobe and the casual, comfortable classic vibe is right up my alley.

I've been using the Stylebook App and have found it to be so much fun, but more importantly, it's making me realize that I HAVE PLENTY in my closet and it has kept me out of the stores!

9 tops
7 bottoms (includes 1 skirt and dressy joggers)
5 pairs of shoes
Handbag
Sunglasses
Scarf

I'm using this basic spring/summer capsule to help me pack for an upcoming 3 week trip...I will include everything here and will be adding pieces for some dressy evenings (it's a 2 week cruise with 3 formal nights with 1 week in London) and outer layers (cardigans, jacket, etc)

Thanks for reading along and any feedback is appreciated.

I'd like to see the picture too! I'd also like to join you on your trip;-)

Carole

That's odd, it's showing on my end...hmm let me try here...

And now they are both showing

I think this looks fantastic. Your colours are right up my alley. I hope you have a great trip!

I've also been playing with Stylebook to create capsules. Fun, isn't it! I tend to do them as packing lists, which works well, but it is nice to see it all laid out like this.

Thanks, Elizabeth! I haven't used the packing list feature yet and it sounds like I need to check that out.

Terrific capsule! You nailed it.

Great capsule! Wish I could add something, but it's perfect!

Great capsule! That looks perfect for a 3-week trip. I like the pop of color with the red. I found I could have kept adding to mine as well but decided to stop with it fairly close to Angie's size since I had no real purpose in mind for the capsule other than as an exercise in capsule creation.

Thanks, Kelly and Carter:)

Sara, thanks for inspiring me to post this morning...I've been working on this for awhile...the fact that I could keep adding to this is proof that I have plenty for spring and summer...no need to shop...darn!

What a great capsule; it looks quite cohesive and casual yet polished. And how nice to be able to create your packing list right in the app, along with the visuals; that sounds fun! Have a wonderful trip!

Angie, thank you...and thank you for the inspiration!
Susie, thanks:)

Summer

I've just spent an enjoyable few moments making outfits from your capsule, Carole - great fun! This is going to be a wonderful starting point for your travel capsule.

Why thank you very much, Summer:)

Terrific capsule! I'll have to do the same for an upcoming trip this summer.

Thanks, Jackie and Firecracker. Would love to see your travel capsule!

Oh, you have inspired me to try the Stylebook app! I love your capsule, it looks so wearable.

Good looking capsule! Looks like it's got a good variety that covers all bases.

Wow, just loving the colors and variety yet still all goes together. Is it warm enough? And what type of tote or messenger bag do you like to use--what is the balance between having something you can stuff with scarf, wrap, camera etc but not weigh you down? And style vs. function?

Chiara and Rachylou, thank you!

Unfrumped, I should edit to say this is a late spring , summer to early fall capsule because you are right, it isn't warm enough as is right now..although I have not included any toppers here...I will be adding a short jean jacket and several cardigans to round things out and keep me warm. For my trip I will carry a utilitarian black Bagalini cross body bag and the tote picture below, For long travel days I will use the tote and can keep the crossbody bag inside. I also have a new rain jacket on order from Eddie Bauer (pictured below) that is sure to be a workhorse for travel and for life here in the Pacific NW. I saw someone wearing this jacket at Costco and admired how fashionably functional it seemed and asked where she got it! The rest is history:)
