No, I cant believe it either.

Everything goes with everything. I can have funky combinations, go from day to evening, dress up, dress down.

Add accessories, take 'em away. Gok Wan would be sooo proud.

I want to clothes peg it up.

thats what careful copious shopping and ruthless chucking out does for you

I love wardrobe culling - don't understand people who keep stuff they don't wear.

And don't bother thinking it will come back into fashion - it never does.

thatsnotmymonkey · 19/05/2010 20:43

Phew!!

OK, tell me, just how much money do I have to spend on capsule?

cyb · 19/05/2010 20:45

I never buy expensive stuff. I've got most of this over the past 6 months or so, and having birthday money to spend

a few hundred quid. But I reckon buying in dribs and drabs better

That's brilliant. My wardrobe is also a mess. Though in an attempt at a streamlined wardrobe the past two months I bought three new lovely pairs of dark jeans and then found a nice tunic shirt type thing, and bought it in five colours. Then I got lots of long necklaces. And now I just wear jeans, a shirt and a necklace every day. But I do look a bit samey . Must branch out a bit more really.

Navy is also my favorite clothes colour at the mo.

thatsnotmymonkey · 19/05/2010 20:57

OK, I am going to squirrel away lots and lots of money to start my capsule.

BoldChislers · 19/05/2010 21:38

I tried to get in to navy for a while but it's much harder than black. So many different shades of navy. And navy doesn't look good with black.

so now i'm back to black. (basics)

I so over navy. I tried it. Trop francais pour moi.

noddyholder · 19/05/2010 21:40

I am too fickle for capsule one minute lauren hutton the next yeah but no but

traceybath · 19/05/2010 21:51

I love navy - much kinder to face than black for me.

Black and navy can look very chic together.

squeaver · 19/05/2010 21:53

yy I love navy too. And I wear it with black.

Tch. Dress like you're middle aged if you want to. I'll stick with my leather trousers and 25-year-old velvet bits, thanks.
