Choose a small-scale print that includes at least two capsule colors. Tie it at the neck, wrap it around the tote handle or wear it in your hair when the outfit needs personality rather than another layer.

How to Shop the Capsule Without Overspending
Start with the bridges: the pieces that make several existing items easier to wear. For one woman that may be the espresso boot that finally works with her dark trousers and midi dresses. For another it may be the navy blazer that makes her favorite tees office-ready. Buy the bridge before replacing a perfectly functional basic.
Then photograph ten outfits before removing a tag. A capsule is not successful because 21 pieces look beautiful in a collage; it works because you can move, sit, commute and live in the combinations.
