Capsule Wardrobe Challenge: Day 2 - Monotone and Polka Dots

As it is probably becoming evident, my capsule challenge is capturing a Spring trend every day while staying within the allowed limits and making them work appropriate.



First day was all about color block and the rising black&white trend. In the second day, I tried to capture monotones and longer hemlines with the addition of one of Spring's favorite patterns, polka dots, in a trendy color. I went between a striped top and a solid blue top in thinking for this outfit and decided on a monotonic look just to keep it as a blank display for the cardigan and the chunky beads.



I used the same booties both days first with pants and then with a skirt. I feel like I'm missing an extra accessory this time, but this is all I am allowed to.



How did I do so far?

Oooh, like the colors, like the spring-iness of it, and the polka-dot is so subtle I would have missed it had you not pointed it out. Nice!

Gorgeous colors, and I especially love that the yellow is a soft pastel color that really makes the darker colors look more "spring-y". That chunky necklace is very cool - I love how the beads would coordinate with so many colors. Very versatile, isn't it?

Thanks! I glad you liked it.

Kari: This is indeed a versatile necklace. I like it best with the grey and coral red.
