Once again my capsule started out looking very different to how it ended. I swapped a number of maternity items for normal clothes, and swapped a few other items, adding some new colourful purchases made in November and early December.

My green skirt got a lot of wear in the autumn. Mild weather in early October allowed me to stick with bare legs for a few weeks, before layers and boots took over.

And I love how it worked with layers. It's by far my favourite purchase of 2017, and worth every penny of it's rather reasonable £25.60 price tag.


The addition of colour really cheered me up. I've hardly stopped wearing the new items since they arrived - a sign of a good purchase I think.



The original capsule had 36 items.


The final edit had just 30, but it was more than enough to see me through.

The green skirt remains in my winter capsule, along with a lot of the items purchased recently, and a leather jacket I found hanging in the cupboard under the stairs that I'd completely forgotten about. I love how discovering an old favourite, and a few new items can rejuvenate your wardrobe. I feel like I've got so many new outfit combinations, I particularly love my new pink jumper worn with my old khaki mini skirt.

I've found wearing colour to be a fabulous antidote to the January blues. I hope 2018 is treating you well so far.
