Coming in about a week late with October’s Capsule Wardrobe post…
When we were in Montana we enjoyed the most divine fall weather… crisp and chilly mornings in the 30’s with afternoons that warmed up to a brisk 55 (I do realize that’s not cold for some, haha). Upon touching down back in LAX, it was 80 degrees… talk about a 180.
For those of us in Southern California, October means we’ve officially reached that time of the year where the mornings are chilly, but the afternoons are warm… so a sweatshirt and pants in the morning… but pants and a tank (or tee) by the afternoon. Given that, I’m hoping this capsule will cover most climates… some nice layers for fall combined with lighter-weight pieces if your climate is a bit more like mine. Similarly, like last month, if it’s warmer where you are and an outfit suggested has a long sleeve top inn it, you can always swap it out for the same color tank or tee… and if an outfit says OTS (over the shoulder) for a sweater, but your weather were require one, just toss it on. You should also be able to add and remove layers as necessary.
Every piece has been seen before, with the exception of this olive green quilted jacket. I’ve either brought pieces back from last year’s fall/spring capsule (this cardigan (20% off right now), long sleeve shirt (25% off right now), oversized white button down, and this long sleeve black maxi dress) or reused pieces from last month’s capsule (denim jacket, striped cotton sweater)… or they are items I’ve shared here before, just not in a capsule collection, but I’ve found myself gravitating towards them lately so I know they’ll be on repeat (oatmeal sweater (20% off right now)). I always like to note that you don’t have to own these exact pieces to create these outfits. Any similar items will work, and this collection can merely act as a guide. I’ve also included “alternatives” for almost every single piece below. I’ll have styled outfits up likely early next week….
With that, I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend ahead! After arriving home from Montana late Sunday night, and TJ heading out to Toronto Monday morning for several days, and the cold I ended up coming down with, I am ready for the weekend. We have a couple of soccer games Friday, but then we’re celebrating TJ’s birthday with family that evening and I’m looking forward to some QT with everyone (and the prime rib TJ is going to rotisserie!). Here’s to a couple of days without the 9-5 rush….
