Capsule Wardrobe Challenge: Day 1 - Colorblock

This was the first day of the capsule wardrobe challenge. I thought I'd start with a classic black&white and add the colors and patterns slowly throughout the week. The pants are classic cut straight leg 7 jeans. The versatile white tunic is a few years old and it was remixed in numerous outfit.

I tried to create some visual interest by adding the red silk scarf, colorblock patent belt with a bike buckle and graphic patterned leather hobo bag. My 2-years old son saw the scarf and said "That's Mickey's!" meaning Minnie Mouse. It made me laugh.

The photos were taken after a few meetings so the shirt looks already worn. I'll use it as a regular button down next time. Maybe I can get away with not washing and pressing it again.

Nice! Sometimes a b&w outfit with a great punch of one color is exactly what you need to wear. Love it!

Thank you! I need a little color in all outfits so the scarf was a way to get it in.Smiling
