Capsule Wardrobe – Black & White

September 6, 2020

I always ADORE black and white.  It always looks classy and chic … and is so easy and fun to mix and match!

Of course one cool thing about black and white is that if you’re craving some color, you can easily add a pop of color with a red bag … or a hot pink top … or  yellow shoes … well,you get the idea!!!

What is a capsule wardrobe?

A capsules wardrobe is just a group of pieces from your closet that you can mix and match together in many ways. Putting together a capsule wardrobe is a must for travel, but it’s also just a great way to work on a wearable wardrobe for your everyday life.

 A few details about the look …

This jacket is actually a vintage thrift find. It’s from the 80’s and I’m kinda in love with it.  But, I did find one very similar and on major sale, so be sure to check that out!  The pants are curvy fit from I.N.C. on sale right now too.  And of course you’ve seen these booties before. They were a part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale but are back to full price now … sorry.

Here’s another recent black and white outfit.  All these pieces could easily be added into this capsule as well!

    Hello there, I’m also a teacher in San Jose. Teach special education (K-2) so work attire is very casual, but love how you dress up for school. Also, welcome to the silver sister club, have had virgin hair for 6 years now, and love seeing how the gray changes as time goes on.

      Hi fellow teacher!!! Are you doing online teaching now? I used to dress up sometimes .. and sometimes go casual. I liked that I had the choice! Of course now it only matters what I’m wearing from the waist up! … I’m really looking forward to watching the gray come in! I’m glad I started transitioning now so I can see the changes as they happen! Thanks so much for stopping by and for commenting!
