I had the perfect option for these shoes saved for you and they have sold out! I found a couple of other options for you. Oh the woes of fashion blogging, lol. And in other woes, I sometimes have no shade to take photos in at the time I need to take the photos. I guess I should start experimenting with full sun again. It can be done, but I so much prefer shade. So... sometimes you get peeks of the edge of the garage door.

Thanks for entertaining my menial complaints. There is so much more to life.

And just in case you are wondering, this isn't a capsule outfit. It's a Sunday outfit. I break from the capsule for casual and non business dress on the weekends. This outfit was inspired by this one. I made it a spring/summer version.

Repeating black and white. This time with the grid top and the vest. This was another comfortable outfit that still felt crisp and put together. Love those kinds of outfits.

A new favorite

This may just be a new favorite work outfit. It was comfortable, crisp and I felt professional but not stuffy or boring. Colors can still be professional even in a very conservative environment.

 

Just in case you are wondering, I did not wear mint two days in a row. But then again, what's wrong with that? Last Friday I posted the mint cardigan. My trip out of town has gotten my posts out of order because I was not able to take all of pics ahead of  time or during that week and still have a few things that have been worn that still need to be photographed. I also had some busy long days last week that didn't allow for pics but I managed to get this one in.

 

Here's a look back at the mint blazer worn last year with black and stripes:

 

 

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a great week.

A pencil skirt, cardigan and heels always looks business ready. It' such an easy formula to pull off. I decided to go a little monochrome on top with the blouse and cardigan. I would probably have never thought of this pairing if it had not been for isolating these pieces in my capsule.

I can't say enough about these shoes either. They are very affordable and most of all, COMFORTABLE. They are from the Payless comfort line. If you need a great shoe that goes with everything, don't think you have to spend a lot for it. These will be your go to. And if you're looking for a little more color, they are available in colors too! (And yes, that' an affiliate link up there. If you take my advice, I'll earn a little commission.)

Sometimes you need a grab and go option for work that still looks professional and like you put some effort into it. That's when a matching suit comes in handy. I paired my black suit with the chartreuse top and leopard accents. I purposely put the matching suit in my capsule because I knew there would be days like this one where I didn't want to spend energy on creating an outfit. Fun accessories keep it from being boring.

I was allowed to dress down to business casual a few days last week while at a conference so I simply paired the black lace top and white pants. Easy.

Not much to say this morning. This is another take on the dot skirt. This time I paired it with the blush blouse. This skirt goes so well from season to season. I wore it with tights HERE for a winter look.

 

HERE are three more looks with the skirt and below is a comparison to the very last time I wore it.

This blazer is the other half of the matching suit set I talked about here. The one that taunts me. So I put the blazer in my spring capsule. It's my challenge piece. I like this pairing better than the last couple of times I tried to wear it. I've also cut off the inside buttons and tabs. It just didn't look good buttoned and the buttons/closures looked silly dangling unbuttoned.

 

The silver shoes were an impromptu add on. I had planned to wear nude shoes because of the pattern and all the colors here but I was in a hurry and found these first. I thought, lavender, blue, silver- that could work so on the feet they went and out the door I was.

I believe my formula for spring/summer is truly going to be black, white and a pop of color. At least for this capsule. It's been the formula for the week.

I scored this blazer on Thred Up for $25! I never saw it go below $70 when it was available on the Banana Republic site in my size. I was excited to find it because my hot pink blazer really needed to be replaced.

I seem to be sticking with the black, white and pop of color formula. This time it's with green. I've had a similar outfit pinned for inspiration for a long time and finally got the chance to put this together after pulling these pieces into the capsule.
