Capsule Collection Winter 2013 – Hiatus

Okay, just to make things complicated, I have a wedding today. So I’m still going to wear my eight pieces over seven days – just not seven consecutive days. Forgive me please.

But I do want to share with you what I’m wearing to this wedding today; you should remember the dress because I wore to the last wedding I attended, which you can read about here and here.

In case you don’t care to read all that boring text, here’s what I wore to my cousin’s wedding in June:

June Wedding – or – my mom and I get sunburned

It was 90 degrees F then, and the weather today is quite a bit different; the forecast is 12 degrees F with a 30% chance of snow. 

I love this dress, and I’ve been planning on wearing it again since I was invited to this wedding! But I’m going to make a few wardrobe alterations to make it warmer and more seasonally appropriate. And a picked up a few new accessories to jazz it up.

The first thing I added was this set of opera-length suede gloves. I received them as a present a few years ago, and they are perfect for winter weddings. They are so warm! I’m also going to wear a pair of kitten-heel black pumps and a cute little black shrug I’m borrowing from my sister-in-law.

To brighten up all those dark colors, I picked up this silver clutch ($3!).

And I have always been a sucker for pearls, so I snagged these adorable earrings for $6. I love them and I can’t wait to wear them!! (Quick thrifting pro tip: always clean the posts on second-hand earrings with alcohol before wearing them.)

I will definitely post pictures afterwards of what I wore so you can see all the pieces together. I love the challenge of adapting clothes for different seasons, and I almost think that I’m going to love this winter ensemble better than the summer one. I can’t wait to share!

Have a great weekend everyone! Come back tomorrow to see outfit #3 from my capsule collection!

  1. love it! I bet you felt special in those gloves too! I’ve never worn them, but it might be fun!
    Love the clutch and it really does help brighten it up a bit!

    • The only annoying part about gloves are when you’re eating and going to the bathroom. :) Then they have to come off. The clutch was a perfect size for a camera, phone, and cash. I am going to keep it for a while – it’s pretty fun!
