If you want to know, here are some details on the capsule pieces I chose and my rationale for them.
Previous:
- 16-looks with the magenta skirt
- 19-looks with the dark charcoal wool pants
- 15-looks with the navy blue tipped wool dress
- 21-looks with the navy blue skinny slim fit trousers
- 15-looks with the striped trench dress
All of these looks below are based around one piece in the original capsule list with 18 pieces!

…featuring this MM Lafleur Soho Skirt:
Shown below: 12 looks
But I could have added another 8 more looks with some simple tops mixed with toppers or other styles you’ve seen earlier:

Belts can help block off an outfit
The outfit was okay before, but it looked very unfinished, until an obi belt was able to tie in the yellow & grey from the top, to tie it all together.
Use the dress as a top and as a topper
Have the skirt peek out from underneath the dress, as well as a top (button it up to the waist), and then use the belt to ground it and nip in the waist.
Try colour-blocking with a topper
The outfit (for me) looks great with the magenta skirt peeking out, but you can colour-block with another colour on top as well, to add even more of a pop.
Use a belt to add colour to a more neutral look
A belt can add interest to something.
Belt the topper!
It looked great open with pants, but looks much better belted when it is a skirt.
For reference here is that look with the same dress as a topper, and it looks much better open rather than belted:
Liked this? Let me know! I can do more if there is an interest.

P.S. All of my other capsule wardrobes (but none with real-life shots like this yet), are here.

I really love the looks where you are wearing the two skirts – but don’t they feel bulky?
Sherry of Save. Spend. Splurge.
I thought so too, but not at all! The bottom skirt is silky and thick, and the top is slimmer but tighter, and the two work together perfectly. It just feels like a really luxurious skirt.
