Capsule progress

I have survived the initial steps. I now have some items still hanging in the closet and am preparing my first capsule, the Spring wardrobe!  As I stated before, my plan is to have seasonal fixes, shop my seasonal clothing, and then buy additional pieces in the store. No more online shopping because too often they are mistakes and I don't have time for that. Just as an aside, with this new strategy I have really had no desire to search sales and scroll through websites looking at deals. Score!

So, for this fix I fired my last stylist and requested a new one. My specific requests were for tops, Spring season, new stylist, and I mentioned that I wanted something sexy for my anniversary.
Here are the items I received

                                      

Market & Spruce Kristah Ruffle Knit Blazer- see the ruffle in the back- I love that detail. 

41Hawthorn Moni Geo Print & Camisole Blouse- I think of this as a score because the camisole can be worn separately. 

Bay to Baubles Astoria Crystal Spear Necklace-Meh, but if I don't take it I lose the 25% discount- sold!

Le Lis Daria Textured Envelope Skirt- like the texture, like the front slit, not sure if I like the overall fit but I will play with it. 

And finally, Daniel Rainn Ardenia Zipper Front Blouse- love the bold color, the material is cool and I like the zipper even though it is hidden. 

I kept all the items. Nothing seemed sexy to me but my stylist recommended the skirt and blouse for my anniversary. 

Next, I will sort out my 37 items. I probably will do this on Sunday because I have been so busy lately. The plan is for nine shoes, nine bottoms, 15 tops, and 4 dresses/jackets but this could change. Apparently, 37 is some arbitrary number so if it works out, great but if not, I am not afraid to challenge this number. 

I changed my previously mentioned budget of $540 to $400 for the season. With that, let's see this capsule unfold...
