Favorite wardrobe items? (Capsule wardrobe related)

I agree with Annabella. I search on Pinterest by pant color for inspiration and then adjust according to what I have in my wardrobe.
I do think it is important to wear the right shoes and be aware of silhouette when substituting different lengths.

I have a pair of boyfriend style, cuffed to be just above ankle length NYMJs that I wear all the time. I can dress them up or down. I don't do the capsule wardrobe thing, but I find that when I go places, I ALWAYS pack these because they are so versatile. 

I don't wear shorts very often because while it is hot outside, Florida business tend to make up for it by making it almost cold enough to snow inside so shorts just aren't a good idea unless you are going to be outside the whole time. These jeans are perfect for me.

I used to look at outfits/ capsule wardrobe inspiration when I first started doing Project 333, but I realized that I don't dress like imaginary wardrobe builders. I don't own anything white or any collared blouses. I like to wear dresses. I hate accessories. I love wearing aqua and hot pink, sometimes together. I don't work in an air conditioned office, so I can't wear an extra layer in summer, and I walk/bus a lot so I need real outdoor weather winter clothes, not cute "looks." I swear that everyone who posts packing lists/wardrobes online lives in fantasy land where you can wear a tank top one day and a scarf and long sleeved shirt the next, like the weather is irrelevant. Also, I'm trying to reduce my wardrobe, not buy new things, so all this inspiration took me in the wrong direction, mentally.

Which is to say, I now focus on what I have and what I like to wear, fashion be damned, and then I figure out my 33-ish items from there.

There are some good blogs though - www.puttingmetogether.com/ into-mind.com/ www.wardrobeoxygen.com/ come to mind, and others I found through Project 333, that focus on wardrobes that are a little closer to what real people wear day to day. Wardrobe Oxygen has a great post about how anyone who wants to wear shorts can find a pair that fits and flatters - she has specific advice for people who can't or don't want to wear short-shorts but who get hot in the summer. I finally found some cute shorts based on her advice. I'm not sure if any of those blogs have capri specific advice, but hopefully they'll help in some way.

A capsule wardrobe takes the idea of cleaning out your closet of the 90% of the clothes you don't wear and concentrate on the 10% you do wear. You build a basic wardrobe of flexible pieces (black pants, white shirt, etc.) with a few seasonal pieces & colors for variety. It is a minimalist approach to your closet.

shescrafty I live in capris year round and look for ideas for tops and accessories. This is one for a summer trip - I like the tops (except the long sleeved denim) and would wear them with the capris. 

I went to a capsule wardrobe almost a year ago, and I love it. Easy to manage and maintain, less expensive overall, clothes that fit and are comfortable, everything coordinates, and I truly have never gotten more compliments on how I dress. Wear what you like. Nothing is ever "out" if you like it and it makes you happy.

These are capri pants. I think someone in this thread was right when they said it's out of style. This style is my favorite to wear to work in the summer, it's a nice business material but gives my legs a breeze. Now I only see ankle pants which I hate. As a tall gal, it's like wearing pants that are slightly too short for me.

I'm seeing a lot of these gaucho style pants, for dressier wear: www.neimanmarcus.com/ALC-Emily-Belted-Gaucho-Pants-Navy/prod188740145/p.prod?ecid=NMCS__P_pants

If you looked in my closet, you'd see 800 pairs of leggings and 563 cat t-shirts
