I've washed the jacket a few times lately (best not to shove a red suede purse in a white pocket on a rainy day) and that's softened it so maybe it was it's stiffness I didn't like before. I've grown to love that old cardi too. You've gotta stick around in Pout Wardrobe to feel the Pout love!thepoutingpensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484934089759704702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-42637052289502550272017-07-04T06:42:04.608+01:002017-07-04T06:42:04.608+01:00I totally agree with investment items.

Yes, I spent the weekend in shorts and vest for gardening then today I'm back in cropped jeans. So confusing, but I do have a pic of me from June 1974 in long jeans, polo neck and corduroy jacket, perhaps we forget summers' bad weather?thepoutingpensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484934089759704702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-62456252892603393902017-07-03T20:29:40.392+01:002017-07-03T20:29:40.392+01:00I've also been pulling out fleeces and goodnes...I've also been pulling out fleeces and goodness knows what!

I do find myself changing clothes a lot in crazy temperatures. Hope you're managing to find something cool to wear in sunny Italy and that you'll show us how stylish ladies keep cool in hot climes.

I really hadn't thought about dress code before I retired, and it is so different to working life. You're bang on with your idea of sorting out a capsule for the month. I've done it over various periods and I absolutely love it, as dressing is just like when on holiday-case dressing, it gets a bit more creative. Project 333, 10 item wardrobe etc sound fun but a bit restrictive longer term. I like your starting from colours rather than the number of items of clothing. Sounds like you've got there a lot quicker than me, I've been retired proper for 6 years and look where I am! I hope you pop by with your new strategy when you've settled on your July colours. It sounds like a lot of fun and gets more use out of what's in the wardrobe. Good luck!thepoutingpensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484934089759704702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-86813693408359881732017-07-03T16:15:28.591+01:002017-07-03T16:15:28.591+01:00Even though I've been retired three years now,...Even though I've been retired three years now, I wore a uniform for my job so I'm still really learning now how to dress for everyday activities in my new lifestyle. After too much time analyzing capsule wardrobes, 333 projects, etc., I decided to just do a one month wardrobe for June and that turned out to be very fun. I settled on a tan and navy blue base with yellow/gold accent. Everything else came out of the closet and I only wore those clothes for a month. Just one short month. Much more manageable than a season or a full year. Accessories too, of course. I am really enjoying discovering the yellow/blue/tan items that I absolutely did Not wear and why I didn't wear them. I'm not quite sure what I'll do for July but it's Stampede season, here in Calgary, and that means RED to me. Maybe I'll pull out all the yellow (which I love) and substitute my warm paprika red. By the way, as far as your jacket goes, it's great and I would never get rid of it, no matter how old, unless it self destructs. Hope you get some warm temps.Wizelliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15191698238930880080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-24218183381349033172017-07-03T11:12:57.644+01:002017-07-03T11:12:57.644+01:00So true, Anna.

Saw yours, loved it; so this East affair has jumped right over "dated" too.

Still spring is here now and I'm with you on not missing this jacket wearing opportunity. I wore a 12 year old jacket on Friday.
