Happy Monday everyone! Hope your weekend was treating you well.
Outfit Details
Top: Vince sweater (old but love this similar one for for $60 or this for $89)| Bottom: J Brand Denim (love this style for $49)| Heels: Mode Collective| Bag: Bottega Venetta (love this style for $89): Earrings, Ring and Cuff: Wanderlust
First and foremost, apologies for the poor quality photos! We are still learning how to take photos at night or just photos for that matter. Last week I shared my Spring 2015 capsule collection with you and that I would mix and match my existing wardrobe and unveil one outfit each week for the next few months with this capsule collection. .
This is outfit number 2. I’m mixing the high waisted denim with my boatneck sweater for a night out with my family. The look was finished with beige calf pumps, chandelier earrings and a simple small cuff. I think this look is simple and easy to pull off. When tucking your top in this denim make sure the top is not too thick because it will create bulkiness around your waist, which is very unflattering. I recommend a thin sweater or silk blouse and layer it with a cropped blazer.
As much as I love my skinnies I think I can put a lot of mileage on these high waisted jeans. They are very comfortable and elegantly designed and worth the investment. So far, this process has taught me to refrain from impulse buying and I’m able to save that money for something else 🙂

Janise, I love the night shots with the glittering lights- so pretty. Sometimes the simplest outfits are the most sophisticated, especially with a touch of leopard. Love your look!

Thank you, Cherie!
I’ve always wanted a pair of J Brand’s! I love your look with the soft sweater and those stunning shoes. I love the photos especially the one with the fairy lights.
Thank you, Lorna!
I love my wide-legged jeans, and you are quite right about avoiding the bulk when tucking in. Looking gorgeous Janise! Thanks for linking up to #AllAboutYou
Thank you, Zaz! I love wearing them!!!
Oh soooo gorgeous!! Love the front tuck. Really looks great!
Still on the hunt for high rise wide/flare leg jeans. No one, so far, has a brand in a large enough sizes for me. (5’10 and size 14)
I really love your capsule! Tried capsule dressing last autumn. I flopped miserably. But I am planning to add a couple things to my closet for my Spring 2015 style. A lightweight S/S sweater is on the list!
Thank you for stopping by, Keturah! This is my first time doing a capsule collection and I’m really enjoying it. It’s been tough seeing all these major sales going on but do we really need all these things?
Oh, I have to agree. We don’t really need all of the things we see and that are on sale.
Glad you’re enjoying your capsule collection!! I think mine didn’t work because I wasn’t sure about my style and what I wanted. I may try it again.
Here’s to spring…its coming!
