I have vowed to go on until I have exhausted the possibilities of my capsule and I think there are at least another three outfits to come.
I spent the weekend checking out everyone's fabulous collections and I am in the process of writing a round-up feature for this weekend.
I will also be naming the two prize winners.
I will choose the one challenger who has inspired me the most.
And a second random selection from all who took part.
Finally, thank you so much to everyone who took part - it was so much bigger than last time with almost 40 people participating.
And before I sign off today to attend an event for International Women's Day I would like to announce an even more important event taking place today - my son Joe will be 15.
I haven't posted a photo of Joe to share as he is a little shy.
Joe was born as he continues to live his life - in the fast lane.
One Wednesday evening after reading a bedtime story to my then three-year-old I went into labour during Coronation Street (7.30pm) and by the 9 O'Clock News Joe was enjoying his first feed.
Joe is a talented footballer and once had trials for Liverpool FC.
He is also very clever (taking three GCSE's a year early this year) and a complete chocoholic.
This weekend I helped my youngest son Ben (who wants to be a chef) create a huge chocolate cake as a birthday surprise.
Happy Birthday Joe!
I wore:
Boots - Tesco
Dress - FCUK
Necklace - Top Shop
Slip showing underneath
lovely dress!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing great guns! Plus Happy Birthday to Joe x
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Joe!
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit... and you still have three more to go... you are awesome. xoxo
Great dress! I can't believe this is stilll from your capsule wardrobe - you are so creative!
ReplyDeleteI've just discovered your blog and have been finding this challenge in particular so inspiring - am going to have to force myself to do some creative wardrobe remixing, methinks!
ReplyDeleteCan I just ask, though - where did you manage find a dark brown slip? I could really do with one, but finding a plainish slip that's not black, white or nude seems bizarrely tricky!
Such a fabulously arty silhouette! And I love dusty purple with browns and tans.
ReplyDeleteJane, I know I'm a bit late but I wanted to post a link to my 5 day challenge roundup. Bella alerted us at http://www.youlookfab.com about the challenge. Here's a roundup of my outfits: http://s273.photobucket.com/albums/jj209/vmmpics/ylfmar2010/Mar01-Mar05/

Thank you so much for such a fun challenge!
Love that you're continuing the challenge! yay for birthdays and chocolate cake!
ReplyDeleteYou look great! Keep remixing like a champion! Must be nice to have an aspiring chef in the family, that cake looks tempting.
ReplyDeleteDo I need to send you photos from my challenge or do you just take them from my blog?
Well done to everyone on the challenge and a Happy Birthday to your son too!
ReplyDeleteI adore those boots. Fabulous look. And happy bday to your lil' man!
ReplyDeleteAnother great outfit! And a very (slightly belated) happy birthday to your boy!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Jo! Hope you had a great day. Love the cake, Ben. My birthday will be soon, can I one like that as well please? Ciao, Jane. A.
ReplyDeleteI applaud your remixing abilities!
ReplyDelete11 outfits out of 15 pieces is fantastic.
Next time I'll plan to go longer, I definitely believe that I can.
And happy birthday Joe!
Happy Birthday, Joe!!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I love that you're keeping with the challenge. This one looks great!
You are truly unstoppable with your capsule wardrobe combinations. Jane, can I borrow you to create a capsule for me next time I'm packing for a vacation? ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your son! That looks like an absolutely delicious cake for a chocolate nut. I hope that you're enjoying your family celebration.
(In answer to your question, he had to pick a classic novel to read for an assignment and correctly thought that he'd win points with me by selecting a Jane Austen novel. I was very amused!)
This is a great look, love the dress. I'm trying to wean myself off of black, black, black and this inspires me.

Love the way the cardigan is in the first picture best. I love to see the way you put these looks together.
