It’s already March! This year is flying by! We are less than three weeks away from the official spring season, and the spring blossoms are already out, the sun is shining, and spring looks like it is already here. Love this!

Since the spring season is starting, we need to make sure our wardrobes are in order. Next week, my shop your closet for spring post will go live, so be sure to check it out!

In the meantime, be sure to pull out those IT bags from the early 2000’s, continue investing and wearing the anonymous handbag, and pull some spring color on your nails! Love!

Shoe capsule wardrobe spring 2026

It is spring shoe season! Since the weather has warmed up, my footwear has lightened up. This is the perfect season for slingbacks, flats, and sneakers. I just realized I forgot to photograph my sneakers! They will be in the shopping widget below.

Have you heard? Woven leather is huge this spring/summer! In fact, woven slingbacks might just be the IT shoe style for the warm weather seasons. Love that!

We are seeing woven shoes in black, shades of brown, shades of white, and gold leather for spring. I was tempted to get the gold, but I do have loafers in a soft gold which I didn’t reach for very often last year, so I decided to go for brown in anticipation of getting more wear out of the shoes. I have already paired them with my shirt dress and my maxi denim skirt. Loving the woven slingbacks for spring!

These classic suede high heels are perfect for wearing throughout the workday as well as to events. They have arch support! The arch support makes them comfortable, and I am able to wear them for a longer time than regular high heels. Love!

Handbag capsule wardrobe spring 2026

Since spring weather has arrived, I have already pulled out my spring capsule wardrobe for 2026. When it comes to handbags, my tried and true favorites will be front and center. Love!

As far as handbags are concerned for spring 2026, the anonymous handbag is still king. Handbags should be investment worthy and offer high quality construction as well as practicality. Love this era in handbags!

Spring 2026 is all about the belted tote, early 2000’s IT bags, pops of color as well as classic neutral hues, and drawstring bags. While I have a soft and slouchy drawstring pouch bag, I don’t find myself reaching for it, so I didn’t include it in this post.

My favorite handbags for spring 2026 are my small, belted totes, my Balenciaga City bag (moto style), my little green loop bag, this classic black shoulder bag, and my beloved caramel top handle bag. These are the bags I find myself reaching for often, and they are currently getting the most use.

My larger bags will be perfect during the day, and my small shoulder bags will be perfect in the evening, as well as days when I want to carry a smaller bag.

What are your favorite handbags for the spring 2026 season?

Thanks for stopping by!
