Remember that you can use this capsule as a jumping off point. You don't have to copy it exactly. Shop your closet for similar or substitute items. You can even hunt through thrift stores to find a lot of these pretty timeless pieces. 


You can also make substitutions for your personal style and your unique body type. For example, you can swap the wide leg jeans for a tapered skinny straight jean or even a linen pant. Or you can change the colors in this capsule to your favorites.
