I think finally, at age 40 I have finally got the holy grail...A CAPSULE WARDROBE

[cyb]

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 thought that marks dress was quite flatterin gon. Because of the drapiness the stripes don't run straight across the body. i didn't think it made me look wider and i have 32F norks, though i accpet i might be in denial .

LOL at tracey looking like a pop star

yeah, i always wear my aviator shades when i mumsnet

its very flattering and my arse is my widest part. Its too short really (my knees are slightly past heir best) but with skinnies its fine

ah you didnt admit you wore skinnies with it

ah a good fashion guru always moves the goalposts

rofl at cok

can you make up another capsule wardrobe then? One that doesn't include navy.

Yes okay

Copy and paste all items I wrote. Substitute NAVY for brown/black

there you go!

Might have to argue with the leopard ballets pumps. What do they go with?
Still, I suppose if you must have one silly indulgence....Just don't wear them with the stripey navy and white dress please. Or the patterned navy/red peasant top.

Tracey is a star.

I have the M&S dress too but have never worn it as I can't find any footwear in my collection that goes.

ha tiggy I wear them because they dont go. actually I dont wear them very often. grey shoe boots more often but now its 24 degrees.....

wotcha wearin' today, cyb?

Am I the only one wanting a little Cyb doll, with cut-out paper clothes of her capsyool wardrobe so I can dress her up every morning in a different combination?

God I used to kill for those when I was little. Used to make my own....we had to make our own entertainment in those days.

Tiggy, I would normally reply but I'm very busy cutting out my little paper navy striped M&S dress

cyb, what will happen when you get bored of navy?

wont get bored. An dI do have lots of other things in my wardrobe. these are just the bits I know I can grab

AND TODAY

stripe teeshirt
h and m under the knee jog pants
wedges

sounds awful looks ok

ooh oh have been taking my mate out to get HER capsule wardrobe. She spent £700
but bought THE best jacket form Jigsaw

i have navy on today.
in the middle of a VERY teachery bit kid shouted otu involuntarily

" oh miss, you are SO glamourous"

mind you 10 mins later she did shout

"BIRD"!

she got it in ....navy...

dont like the roll up bits

they are the best bits. very £££ though
but she only buys clothes twice a year.

no I cant beleive it either

I like the jacket

Has she got a capsule wardrobe tdf too now?

Is it another navy affair?

Three may have been a few navy touches here and there!
