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.

Denim maxi skirt for spring

wearing: sunglasses / pearl earrings / beige short sleeve sweater / scarf / denim maxi skirt (in reg and petite, wearing petite) / spring nail polish / gold bracelet (old, also love this one) / black handbag / black boots /

Denim is hot in 2026! Although denim is a classic fabric, designers are having extra fun with it this year, so lookout for a lot of denim throughout the year!

One of the hot denim trends this year is the denim maxi skirt. I love this one since it has a full silhouette, and I was able to buy it in petite! It is always a fabulous thing when I don’t have to pay for alterations. Love that!

We enjoyed temperatures in the high 60’s during the Lunar New Year celebration at Santana Row, so this outfit worked out perfectly. Since the sun was shining, we ate brunch on the outdoor patio at Augustine. The food was delicious and we had close seats to the Lunar New Year entertainment.

I enjoyed the Dungeness Crab Donuts and a side of French Fries. They were delicious! My husband and my son both ordered the hamburger with fries, they also enjoyed their meal. Highly recommend if you are local!

The entertainment was amazing. There were performances which included a lion dance, local dancers, local singers, kung fu, and more! We had a lot of fun. I will definitely go again next year.
