Just found your blog and loved it! Thank you for all the great ideas!
So you moved to Portugal? Where to? I am Portuguese, living in Cascais and if I can help you settle in, in any way, please don’t hesitate in contacting me. Anyway, I would love to meet you!
Take care, stay safe!
All the best!
Beatriz

Exactly why I like it too Gaylin!

Of course it will still take a bit of effort finding some of the pieces, but it all developed quite naturally from some of my first choices, like the gray and pink sweaters. It helps also if you can combine it with items already in your wardrobe (like my skinny pants).

How interesting that you chose the same favorites as Greetje Jill! Yes this could easily be applied to a summer wardrobe. Since the feedback on this challenge has been very positive I will try and do more of this at the start of other seasons!

Yes it took a bit of effort but it’s nice to get an overview on one page right? Will keep your preferences in mind when I see you in The Netherlands Greetje. Very much looking forward to it!

Thanks Aileen. It’s all about picking the right basics and choosing colors that mix well together. Then you just go out and play!

I’m usually no different and would normally not pack just one pair of shoes. But I had already tested these and trusted they would be fine (and they were). I also did not have any more winter shoes here and felt that if I really needed something I could buy it there. For The Netherlands I will have a variety of shoes though as all my winter shoes are already there. I’m looking forward to wearing my long boots!

Thanks Patti. Yes I’m getting better all the time and this has definitely been my favorite capsule yet!

I laughed when I got to your comments Greetje – I chose exactly the same pics as you as my favourites, before I read your comment! It is coming into summer here in South Australia so I’m thinking about your choices re light colours but with summery fabrics. Look forward to seeing your other seasonal capsules adapted from your winter base! Thanks again.

My favourites are: top row, fourth from the left (the jacket with the white shirt and the dark skinnies), Second row, second from left: (the grey asymmetric sweater on the longer white trousers) and the third row, second from left, (that gorgeous bit pinkish sweater, again with the longer white trousers).
