Winter is underway! Now that the holiday season has passed, it is time to put together my winter capsule wardrobe. Thank you for all the great feedback after I posted my holiday capsule wardrobe in early November. I’m so glad you enjoy this series! Since the holiday season shares roughly the same weather pattern as the winter season, my capsule wardrobe for winter is not very different from the holidays. The big difference is, instead of a focus on holiday green/red, this capsule wardrobe focuses on the color of 2020, which is Classic Blue! Yay!!

As you can tell, my casual, everyday capsule wardrobe for winter is almost identical to the one I showed you for the holiday season. The big difference is that I swapped the earrings, and changed the key color. The red tee and earrings have been replaced with their blue counter-parts; and the green scarf has been replaced with two blue ones. I have owned this light blue scarf, and this medium blue scarf for a few years now, so it was easy to add them into the rotation for the winter season. You probably don’t need two scarves for the season, unless you live somewhere really cold. I would recommend picking your favorite blue hue, and investing in one scarf.

As far as denim trends are concerned, we are still seeing cropped denim, skinny jeans, and boot-cut jeans in the new year. So, I am sticking with boot-cut and skinny since they are the most flattering styles on me. I also have a pair of leggings in my winter capsule wardrobe since they are comfortable; and ideal for ultra casual days.

When it comes to earrings, I put my sparkles away until a special occasion comes up, and for the next holiday season. I pulled out a pair of large, classic hoops for fun; and my blue earrings, and silver earrings for day-to-day wear. Stay tuned for another post about my winter shoe capsule!

Dressier winter capsule wardrobe 2020

Not every day is casual during the winter months, therefore, we all need a dressier winter capsule wardrobe for the office, dinner dates, and other occasions. Sometimes you can dress up jeans with high heel booties, and other times we need to ditch the jeans (gasp!) and put on a skirt paired with knee boots-for ultimate warmth on cold days.

This coat is an instant outfit enhancer! It can make any pair of denim look structured, and it adds a dressy vibe when thrown over almost anything. The belt helps give it shape too. Love it!

These knit tops are also great for dressing up a casual look. They have a more put-together look than a long sleeve tee, and can instantly elevate any look. I’m looking forward to dressing up this season using this capsule wardrobe!

Winter around here does not last too long, so this should carry me thought January and February. How long does winter last where you live?

Stay tuned for my winter handbag capsule wardrobe-coming up soon!

Staying cozy at home

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Whichever holiday you are celebrating, I hope you are enjoying a relaxing and special time with your family, friends, or any way you wish to celebrate!

I am home, enjoying this ultra soft bathrobe given to me by SOMA Intimates. I cannot even describe how soft and cozy it is! I wish you could touch it through your screen! If you live near a SOMA Boutique, please check it out, it’s fabulous. If it came in more colors, I would buy them all! Did you notice SOMA Intimates embroidered my Instagram handle on it? I’m in love! You can personalize one too if you would like! It would look so cute with a name, or initials, on the front; or the back too!

This is such a special time of year. My kids are on vacation from school, my husband is on vacation from work, and my cousins are home for Christmas. I love seeing everyone, all at once on Christmas. I hope you are enjoying this time of year too!

Enjoy the holidays and stay tuned for my winter coverage to start in the coming week!

Favorite memories 2019

ventura sunset

As the sun sets on 2019, I want to take a look back at all the fun moments during this past year. I traveled for work, and with my family. There were a few fun trends, and a few fashion mistakes; but all-in-all, it was a fabulous year! Here is a look back at some of the fun from 2019!

Winter 2019

saratoga street style athleisure adidas

Last winter was cold, rainy, and relaxing. I stayed cozy in a ton of athleisure looks. This one was my favorite. I had a lot of fitness goals that I tried to meet, but after injuring my hip, I fell off track. My hip is starting to feel better. My pain level has gone from a 10 to a 4. Hopefully I can get my fitness routine back on track in the new year with less pain!

Chico’s introduced me to their fabulous no stain shirt. Let me tell you, it’s a game changer. Love it!! Read all about it here.
