Capsule Wardrobe - New Top

It's been a bit since I've posted about my capsule wardrobe, but I've added a couple of new pieces and I wanted to share them with you! 

First of all, I have to tell you about this great app I found called Vinted.  It's available in the Google Play Store (sorry iPhone users, no clue if it's available for you).  It's a second-hand app where people sell clothes, accessories, purses, shoes, all sorts of things!  I was looking for a Little Black Dress on there, but the seller I tried to buy from backed out because she couldn't find both of the pieces I tried to buy (another story for another day).  I have also looked for shoes and a trench coat on there.  I know these things can be expensive, so I was trying to find a deal on a "like new" item.  Many sellers also offer "bundles" where they discount things if you'll buy more than one item, so that's what I did!

I bought a khaki trench coat and bundled it with a new top.  It ended up costing about 5 cents less to get the top with the coat!  It made the top free!  With the two items and shipping I ended up paying $21!  Not bad, huh?  I was pretty excited!

I get nervous buying things online.  What if they don't fit?  When you buy from a private seller there are truly no returns, all the more reason this had to be a great deal, and I had to be positive about my size.  Fortunately, despite the fact that my brain does not comprehend,  the small top and jacket fit!  And I think they look great!

I didn't really need another top, but these colors look like they'll be great for the fall!  And I love the jacket and think it will be a great addition to my capsule wardrobe!  It's been a while since I totalled things up, but here's what my capsule wardrobe consists of at the moment...
