Viva Magenta! How fun is the color of the year for 2023!? Love! I am really happy my vintage wool scarf is the color of 2023, especially since I purchased it in 1999! A scarf is a really easy way to add a pop of color to any winter look. If you are looking for a scarf, I love this one under $100. It’s a good quality scarf as I have the same one in green, blue, and light pink. You will love it!

My winter 2023 capsule wardrobe is similar to my fall and holiday capsule wardrobes; with the exception of the pop of color. Since winter is the first season in January, I wanted my color accent to be Viva Magenta; the color of 2023!

The styles from the fall and holiday seasons have remained the same. We are looking at blazers with jeans, power suits for the office or dressier occasions, wide or flare jeans, and a general nod to the trends from the turn of the century.

In addition to my casual capsule wardrobe, I have a few jackets I plan to rotate during the winter depending upon the weather. They are all linked below for reference.

It is cold this year! To top things off, we are finally getting our normal weather; which we have not had in several years. This means tons of rain, cold weather, and the need for practical yet fashionable footwear.

As long as things are clear in the sky, these golden boots are perfect for adding some spice to casual outfits. Of course, my standby lug sole boots are great for inclement weather. I do have snow boots, but I use those more when I travel to snow. Although, I have worn them locally when the weather is really cold and wet, so don’t rule out the snow boots in California!

As you know, the color of 2023 is Viva Magenta. I found these high-top sneakers in a shade close to magenta. Why not be comfy and fabulous at the same time? Love that!

My faux fur boots from last year are still in like-new condition and keep my feet warm on cold winter days. I reach for them several times per week. You can still snap up a pair in black, ivory or neutral. Love! I have an ivory pair too!

Happy Holidays! If you have been following along for awhile now, you might be wondering why my capsule wardrobe post is a little bit different this season. As I look back on the past few holiday capsule wardrobes, I realize that they feature pieces from my fall and winter capsule wardrobes, and really only one look for holiday events. I decided my holiday capsule wardrobe should not be a regurgitation of my fall and winter capsules, rather, it should only feature holiday specific pieces. So, a scaled back and more targeted holiday capsule wardrobe is born.

If you are looking for everyday outfits, please check out my fall capsule. If you are looking for accessories, please check out my fall shoe capsule and my fall handbag capsule. My winter capsule will be coming soon with warmer pieces, so stay tuned!

This holiday season, the events I have lined up are on the casual side. This means my high heels and dresses get to continue to collect dust in my closet. Mmmm, slightly disappointed things are so casual this year, yet slightly relieved I can wear comfortable boots to events. haha, so torn!

This sequin shirt is fabulous for casual holiday events. It is warmer than a dress and can easily be worn open as a jacket over a black top, black tank top or black tube top, or alone as its’ own piece. Of course, you can pair it with any color of top, I just prefer black. I plan to pair it with my dark wash wide leg jeans since they seem like the dressiest of my current denim collection. Paired with my comfy golden boots, and I feel festive and ready to stand at an event. Love that!
