If you want to know, here are some details on the capsule pieces I chose and my rationale for them.
Previous:
All of these looks below are based around one piece in the original capsule list with 18 pieces!
….& 3 pairs of shoes
…featuring this gorgeous wool J. Crew tipped shirtdress. It is no longer available, but there is a J. Crew navy button-up cap sleeve midi dress or there is also this great J. Crew denim shirtdress that could work as a substitute. This Joan Voss navy shirtdress isn’t tipped in white, but looks similar, as does this See by Chloe dress and this COS cotton-lyocell shirtdress.

Don’t always wear the original belt
The original belt actually isn’t so terrible with this dress. Normally, I toss these belts in the garbage, or keep them for arts & crafts projects because they tend to be HORRIBLE.
This belt however, works well, looks cute, and isn’t a bad belt at all.
The second outfit, shows how a pop of colour from a skinny belt can help change the look, and the third one, is a darker, double-wrapped style leather belt that blends in a bit more.
Double-up on belts
I do this with an obi belt and then a skinny one over it. This bright pink with red, is a perfect blend because it isn’t too loud at all in my opinion.
With and without pants
I tried the mix of dresses over each other, and I tried it with pants underneath, but much prefer it with no pants at all, and the striped dress completely buttoned up underneath.
It looks sleek and chic and is instantly one of my favourites now.
Play with the belt tied over a topper or underneath
That belt? It can go over the topper or underneath, depending on what look you’re going for.
You can also try it with different belts obviously, and it looks slightly different.
Liked this? Let me know! I can do more if there is an interest.
