When I was 17 I read the book Outlander for the first time. Over the years I have read it many more, along with each and every book that followed in the series over the last 20+ years. When I heard they were making a television show out of it I was excited and scared. Too many times I have seen books ruined when put to tv or film and this is a series that could have been so easy to get wrong. They not only surpassed my expectations but seriously hit it out of the park. I think this is probably one of the best book to screen interpretations that I have seen, so I just wanted to say how excited I am that season 3 starts on Sunday. I have rewatched and am skimming/rereading the books in preparation. Is anyone else super stoked for Sunday?
I just had to get that out before continuing this post. Some like Game of Thrones but I prefer historical time travel 😉
On Wednesday I posted an interchangeable capsule wardrobe for when your work, and personal wardrobe are combined. It was requested with a specific style in mind; a “librarian who likes metal” with many pieces picked from both H&M and Zara which are her favourite places to shop. In this post I put together a month worth of outfits from the pieces in the original post. You can refer to the original to see all the pieces that were used to make these outfits but I will also give a general breakdown of what and/or why I chose them.
- Three t-shirts, (a black graphic tee, a band tee, and a plain white tee) t-shirts are good for layering or stand alone as a fun way to add some personality to an outfit.
- A classic white blouse for its versatility and a black blouse because I find black pieces are a quick and simple way dress up a look.
- A striped shirt. It is a classic piece that every wardrobe should have.
- Three sweaters and one cardigan. The sweaters should be in different colours, with or with prints. I chose a bigger fit grey pullover, a black fitted pullover with a small polka dot, and a bold striped pullover. The cardigan is an oversized fit in black and is easy to just toss over an outfit.
- One pair of dark denim, and one in a black ankle skimming style, a pair of black trousers, and a mid length, skirt in a brown check.
- Two dresses of different colours/style/prints. Both styles I chose are easy to dress up and down, and both are a mid length; one b+w polka dot, and a bolder red and black print.
- A blazer in a great print; this one is Jacquard but I also love floral, and one mid-length jacket* that I chose in a houndstooth print.
- A few scarves to change-up daily looks.
- Two purses in different colours like a standard black and fun red (one should be more structured).
- And finally 3 pairs of shoes. One should be a boot, one a flat, and the third in a fun colour or style.
I have provided enough outfits to get through 30 days but really there are many more that could be made.
*the list is for a woman in Los Angeles so if you are from a city that experiences all four season then your jacket and shoe choices might include something a bit more hardy 😉
Now off to my Outlander countdown.
