Everlane cashmere crew sweater, Karen Walker skirt, Everlane trench coat, Everlane twill zip tote, Valentino tango pumps It feels like it’s been a while since I posted anything that even closely resembles an outfit post – sorry! – so I thought I’d share this forgotten photo from my autumn capsule wardrobe. Even though I took this snap just a short few weeks ago, the idea of strutting out the house without a pair of tights on chills me to my core, and in all honesty, I feel like I’m been living in nothing but my Hope grand sweater – the…

The fluid capsule wardrobe

As much as I’ve loved – or should I say relished? – my capsule wardrobe experience, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about its longevity. Is this something I’m going to be doing forever?
