Capsule Dressing - Sophisticated Ease

(These photos were originally shared on Oct 24, 2012)
You take about 6 pieces of clothing that you can mix and match together into multiple outfits. Typically it consists of 2 tops, 2 bottoms and 2 jackets in 2-3 complimentary colors.
Creating an effortlessly sophisticated fall wardrobe is as easy as 1, 2, 3.
1) Choose two tops, bottoms & jackets in your favorite kika styles.
2) Select a complimentary color palette.
3) Accessorize. Voila! 
You will create 12 ready to wear outfits to take you seamlessly from fall to spring.

We augmented the neutral palette of Steel, Black, and White with a flush of Bordeaux. Amy’s sweater knit fabric creates a mosaic of color and texture in a classic Chanel inspired silhouette, while Erin’s Tencel construction delivers the saturated richness of oxblood. No closet is complete without the tailored Jenna pencil skirt, combining curve appeal and sleekness. Finish your look with polished accessories and a pair of textured tights.
Spice things up with statement-worthy accessories. Texture, studs, and a touch of bling add high fashion drama to wardrobe basics. The best thing about kika capsules is that they are all about YOU…expressing your style, your way. So, say ‘goodbye’ to cookie cutter fashion and ‘Hello, kika!’

Harper in Cognac

(These photos were originally taken on Oct 12, 2012)
Harper is a great cape that can be worn with or without the belt. I prefer to wear it without the belt and well ... I don't think this brown is the best color for me...
Harper in Cognac, Stella in Navy Fresco print
 Ok, to be honest? I would prefer this in a different color and a size smaller but it is a really fun top. I don't wear it with the belt since it is not flattering.
Harper in Cognac
 The back without the belt. Capes are hot the season and go with a lot of things!

I don't wear it with the belt since it is not flattering. I tried to make it look nice but well, it just calls too much attention to my middle.

Incorporating both flare and function, this collection of 12 outfits flows effortlessly from workday to weekend play, while its balanced color palette offers the right amount of contrast, warmth, and richness. 


Accessorize your day look with a black structured bag, ankle boots, and understated jewelry. After hours, a few quick changes will get you from desk to dinner in no time. Simply swap out your boots and bag for a pair of strappy teal heels and colorful clutch. Adding unexpected, playful pieces like an enamel necklace and multicolored bangles sets the mood for romance… with kikaPaprika, love is always in the air.
