Capsule Wardrobe Challenge Day 3

My PC is still out of action so I have sneaked onto my son's laptop again.
I wanted to be more adventurous with a scarf today so decided to wear it belted to brighten up my dress.
It is the first day of Lent today and I have given up red wine.
Have you given anything up for Lent?

I wore:
Boots - Clarks (Wear 1)
Dress- Marks & Spencer (Wear 2)
Scarf - Covent Garden Market (Wear 1)

My Capsule Feb 14th - Feb 18th

And here we are again.
I know my wardrobe is not very imaginative this time but I plead academic woes.
This week I am not teaching but have to write up my research project as part of my PGCE studies.
For those who are interested, my project was to test the theory that an author visit can raise literacy skills equivalent to a term's work.
In order to do this I have had to mark two sets of papers - one before an author visit and one after.
I have also had to compile a literature review and some research stuff that I am still not too sure about.
It will mean lots of hot vimto, screwed up pieces of paper and night-time visits to the university library to get it done.
I need to be warm, comfortable and dressed quickly.

So here it is.
The capsule to get me through 5,000 words.
1. Shirt (Zara)
2. Tunic (Dorothy Perkins)
3. Blazer (Zara)
4. Cardigan (Tesco)
5. Martha Jeans (Top Shop)
6. Black Dress ( Marks and Spencer)
7. Black long sleeve t-shirt (Primark)
8. Black ankle boots (Clarks)
9. Black boots (Dorothy Perkins)
10. Black ballerina shoes (Clarks)

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
