Prices are catalog snapshots in USD, before tax, shipping and alterations. Photos show retailer products; these are Shopfest styling combinations, not modeled try ons or wear tests. Confirm the current variant, price, size and availability at the store. Ownership choices last only while this page is open.
Keep the budget tied to the actual pieces
At the catalog snapshot, these seven products total $398.67 before tax, delivery or alterations. The live board calculates the total again from the available catalog rather than freezing that number as a current offer. A bag, outerwear, undergarments and any additional layers come from your wardrobe and are not included in that total.
Make the office decide what stays
For a more formal office, the denim combinations may be unsuitable. Start with the trouser looks and use the jeans outside work. Read each care label and try the layers together before removing tags. A capsule should reduce unnecessary purchases, so first identify which of the seven roles are already covered by clothes you own.
