I was jumping between this and finishing some school assignments that have/had to be in tonight at midnight.

Our internet company was in our building today to replace some equipment (which probably explains the internet issues for a few weeks), and because of this, the wifi was down intermittently today.

Which caused some problems getting stuff done since everything I need is accessed online.

So now I really had to push it tonight. Thankfully I managed to complete and submit my larger assignments earlier this week which left me with a few assignments that were worth significantly less.

But like I said last week, Yikes, why did I do this to myself?

Anyway, I posted a Romantic fall capsule wardrobe last night which had me reflecting that I may be drawn to that style more than I originally thought.

More of a 1930s/40s romantic vibe though.

And in my search yesterday I found these boots. How fabulous are they? They come in white and brown as well.

They are meant as stage costuming but seriously, on the right person they would be amazing.

  1. I’ve said it before, but I simply love all of your capsule ideas. I must be truly eclectic as I own many similar pieces in most all of the capsules! I have bought pieces using your links to expand my choices and make my basics much more interesting. I have always veered towards putting somewhat unexpected elements together and you give me even more exciting ideas!

    I read the article you linked about Legos to my husband. We both loved it (we were children of the 60s and 70s raised by liberal parents). He reminded me that Lego was originally a European company, so they were possibly more progressive than many American toy manufacturers at that time. My son (I homeschooled all my kids at some point) once said as a 5 y/o, “Mom, you can never have too many Legos or too many books.”

    Have a lovely weekend!

    • Thanks Holly,

      I totally agree that Lego was very progressive for its time. I’ve always loved that about them. I also agree with your son, you can never have too many Legos or books.
      As for eclectic wardrobes, the word unexpected is one that I love to use because it makes even the most basic outfit interesting.
