5 Pieces, 5 Outfits: How to Build a Capsule Wardrobe
In this 5 by 5 look book, I grab 5 pieces and make 5 different outfits from them. This is the best activity to do when stuck at home! It really makes you realize that there are so many ways to style just a few good pieces.
Capsule wardrobe
Outfit 1
This tutorial is a bit of an ode to the slip dress. In this look, I am actually wearing two slip dresses at the same time.
The tie-dye slip dress has a cowl neck so I pinned the neckline to create more of a V shape so that it compliments the V neck of the charcoal slip dress. I dropped the adjustable straps so that some of the tie-dye dress is revealed. I paired the look with some mid-height boots and this fancy silver belt that I love!
The belt was a bit too feminine for my style, so I lost it and changed the boots to make a look that was more suited to my edgy style.
Outfit 2
This is one of my favorite outfits and is just such an easy, go-to look if I am lost on what to wear. The slip dress and turtleneck are the same charcoal color and work so nicely together.
Simple, monochromatic outfits are always a safe bet and to casual up this look, I added my Blundstones.
Outfit 3
In this 3rd look, I am wearing an oversized jumper over the tie-dye dress. I love this dress for layering. I think the cowl neck is a bit much for me so I don’t usually wear the dress on its own which is why I love it with this jumper.
Outfit 4
Here I am wearing my sheer, charcoal turtleneck with pleat pants. These pants run quite large so I always like to cinch them at the waist which I am doing with this belt. This feature gives a bit of an 80s silhouette.
Outfit 5
In this last look. I pair the charcoal slip dress with the pleat pants. I am actually not a huge fan of this look so I decided to alter it a little.
I pulled the slip dress up and tied it with a slanted knot to make it look like a top. It’s so easy to roll this fabric and tie it because silk is just so malleable. I would love to know which of these five looks you like best! Let me know in the comments below!

Love all these looks!
They’re all great but my favorite are the two slip dresses minus the belt
