Am finding that putting together a capsule wardrobe for spring is tougher than one might expect. Part of this is due to the fact that after a long winter of muddy greys and slushy whites, I am starving for colour and florals so
everything bright and frilly looks like an attractive option. I've spent a few lunch hours giddily trying on many new shapes (stronger shoulders, wider trouser legs), colours (cinnamon! saffron! salmon! kelly green!), and skirt lengths (swingy calf-length, snug calf-length, silky maxi).
While it has been fun, I find myself gravitating towards the things I know will suit my short & curvy figure and my dark hair and eyes: pencil skirts, nipped in waist lines and v-necks in red, navy and fuschia.
So I present one potential Spring 2011 capsule wardrobe for the Curvy Lady to you, and will be sharing others as whimsy and window-shopping permit!

You are a sartorial savant. Remind me to start, you know, making money so that I can purchase that blazer...
The blazer is pretty fun, eh? Hangs open beautifully, nips in where it needs to, and soft navy is a classic colour that can be used to ground funkier pieces. I've been admiring all the Stylish Young Thangs in there collarless/swingy/cloaky toppers, but me, I'm a blazer girl ;)
I love me some structure in a jacket, that's for sure: the angles balance out the va-va-vooms. That particular blazer is just beautifully cut, and the neutral colour would be a great juxtaposition against a floral or wacky pattern. You're spot-on!
That double-breasted trench is gorgeous! Love the flower detail!
I'll get one in the navy, just as soon as I sell that kidney . . .

Hi Paze! I'm eying a tomato red trench at Jacob right now, and am thinking of having a flower detail made ;)
