I am back on my espadrille kick! Espadrilles are my favorite summer shoe because they are soft, and the fabric allows your feet to breath. Also, with planter fasciitis, you can wear espadrilles if they have a wedge and you also wear a support band on your foot. Test this out at home before leaving the house to ensure it works for your particular planter fasciitis case. Also, bring a backup pair of sneakers with your orthotics inside just in case the espadrilles and band aren’t cutting it. I leave my sneakers in the trunk of my car in case I need to switch them out. So far, I haven’t’ had to do that! Yay!

Green, in any shade, is huge right now, so I picked up these mint green dunks when Nike offered design-your-own dunks. It will be fun to wear mint green sneakers this summer. It is such a pretty color!

My summer will be fairly casual, so I am not including my high heels in this post. Of course, I do keep a classic black pair in my closet just in case!

Which types of shoes are you loving this summer season?

Shoe capsule wardrobe spring 2023

spring 2023 shoe capsule wardrobe

My spring 2023 shoe capsule wardrobe is slim this year, because to be frank, it is still very cold outside! I am wearing rain boots and sneakers more than anything else these days with all of this rainfall and unseasonably cold weather. That being said, I do have spring shoes in my archives which are both classic and on trend for the spring 2023 season.

I am sure you know about investment shopping and investment dressing. These loafer mules, and ballet flats, are investment pieces I purchased many years ago. They are always in style, and this year, the ballet flats are a hot trend. Love that! If you haven’t invested in a good pair of loafer mules or ballet flats, I highly recommend finding a beautiful pair to invest in this season. You will find yourself reaching for them year after year; then you won’t need to buy new shoes every year since you will already have a classic pair in your closet. While you may spend more in the short run on an investment pair of shoes, you end up saving money in the long run by not needing to replace them every year.

In addition to loafer mules and ballet flats, slides are still a hot trend as we move into both spring and summer, as well as street sneakers. While disco platform pumps are also a hot trend, you won’t be seeing me in those. I need to be closer to earth.

As you shop for spring, look for square toes too. The square toe is a huge trend in footwear right now, and you will see it a lot in the coming seasons.

These street sneakers are super fun since they are in the color of 2023. The retro high-top style is also a fun vibe which works well with the 1980s and 1990s influence we are seeing in fashion right now.

Hopefully the rain tapers off, so I can wear all these shoes and not get wet! haha

Spring 2023 wish list

spring 2023 wish list

Spring 2023 wish list from top left: stripe top / neutral tote bag / silver necklace / green sweater jacket / lavender earrings / top handle bag / Mary Jane shoes / straw tote / black loafers /

Spring starts next week! How is that possible? I am a little slow this year in getting my spring capsule wardrobe on the blog. The weather has been so cold and stormy, spring has not been on my radar. My capsule should definitely hit the blog next week! In the meantime, I still have a spring wish list!

This spring season, I am not sure how often we will have warm weather. Therefore, I am pairing down what I buy for the spring as it appears I will still need to integrate some winter clothing into my daily outfits. It is cold, and the ocean is falling from the sky! Despite the fact that it is March, our weather is acting like it is still January. What type of Twilight Zone is this?? But I digress. . . let’s talk about spring shopping! It is way more fun. haha

For the upcoming spring season, I would love to get a new pair of Mary Jane shoes, since the style is hotter than hot. In addition to this hot shoe style, ballet flats are back with a vengeance, and I have a pair buried in my closet. Those will definitely be brought back out this spring season! Loafers are also a must have this spring as they are the perfect match to balance the ongoing menswear trend we are seeing in fashion. Keep wearing your blazers with jeans, and rock those power suits at work. Love!

Straw totes are always a favorite of mine, and since I have the perfect small tote, I would love to add a larger tote to my collection. I have my eye on this beautiful straw tote. The straps and ombre weave are beautiful. I. Must. Have.

As you know, green is one of the hot colors this spring season, and this cute, yet structured sweater jacket, seems perfect for brightening up the day, looking springy, and offering some warmth. Love that!

Would it be spring without nautical stripes? Of course not! I love this long sleeve, nautical tee. I have decided I need it in my life.

Have you seen Tory Burch’s new tote collection? They are simple, chic, and available in tons of colors and sizes. I am drawn to this neutral hue. What do you think?

Lastly, how cute is this shamrock necklace? I would love to layer it with my little star necklace. So cute!!
