Spring Capsule Wardrobe Challenge Countdown


There are just four days to go until the Spring Capsule Wardrobe Challenge.
I have been thinking a lot about what I will wear between Monday and Friday next week.
I am so pleased that it looks like the biggest Capsule Wardrobe Challenge so far with more than 20 of you signed up.
But for anyone not too sure - there's still time.
For a rundown of the rules check out here.
And remember that for those of us in colder climes your are allowed a functional coat, weather-friendly shoes, warm hat, scarf and gloves which will not count as part of your ten items.
And for some more tips I would suggest having a look at the Capsule Round-Up of 2009 where you can see how other bloggers and Flickr fans worked their wardrobe.
As I completed my daily onlne news trawl this morning I noticed that the Daily Mail had an interesting article on stretching a wardrobe wiht some useful tips on layering.
Although I don't plan to use the shift dress I will be picking out a couple of dresses which suit my shape.
And before I sign off I would like to say thank you to everyone who left a comment or emailed me about my previous post.
I asked my husband to read your kinds words and he was overwhelmed.
Today I wore:
Boots - Tesco
Slip - Boden
Drress - FCUK

  2. Oh, that gives me an extra item! I was counting my boots as a thing, but I suppose they are weather friendly! I'm all planned and ready to go!

  5. i wasnt going to "count" my purse since i use it more for function than fashion (im not counting my work bag, for example since it was bought for function), but now im thinking thats not really fair. what do you think?

    i spend the evening picking out my items and starting to mentally plan. but i may redo my accessories to include a purse, so i dont feel like im cheating...

  9. I mostly lurk here (sorry!), but I'm thinking I might try this challenge. I'm nervous about finding the time to do the necessary photo-taking and posting, but I've got the wardrobe capsule assembled and ready to go.

  12. Hi Jane,

    Your idea inspired me so I gave you a shout out on my blog :-)
    I wasn't quite ready for this particular challenge this time, but maybe the next go round.
