(outfits 1-4) one suitcase: summer business casual capsule wardrobe

2/7 - The purpose of this Summer Business Casual Capsule Wardrobe is to look at a limited number of clothing items and see beyond the first small set of obvious outfit combinations. I have learned that by picking a few favorite & versatile pieces of clothing I can mix and match the items into a surprising number of outfit options. Hopefully the posts this week will show you my method and help you find the potential of the clothes you already have in your closet!
