Fall 2022 is upon us! This means shifting our capsule wardrobes into the new season. For the fall season, handbag trends are shifting along with the weather, so a few minor adjustments to my handbag capsule are in order.

Shoulder bags are back. They are displacing cross body bags as the daily go-to bag of the season. This doesn’t mean you have to store your cross-body bags. They are handy for running errands and more. That being said, if you want to snap a picture of yourself for the gram, quickly move your bag to your shoulder, snap the pic, and then go back to wearing it cross body. The fall season is all about the shoulder bag.

Speaking of shoulder bags, the hobo bag is also a type of shoulder bag. As you know, hobo bags are hot, despite consumers slowly adopting the style. There are plenty of styles to choose from. You can go for a soft hobo, structured hobo, large hobo, small hobo, or moon shaped bag. The moon shaped bag is the IT silhouette of the season! I love this one for under $500. It’s always fun to rock a hot trend without breaking the bank.

For the fall season, I am keeping my handbag capsule neutral with the exception of my little green bag. I love this little green bag and the bright pop of color it offers. I highly recommend having at least one fun color in your fall 2022 handbag capsule wardrobe!

While not pictured, bucket bags are huge this season! I do plan to wear mine; I just didn’t photograph them. You can go with a classic Mansur Gavriel bucket or test out their new version which offers a top handle. It’s on my wish list!

Summer vacation has arrived! This means I needed to put my summer capsule wardrobe in order. This summer, we plan to stay casual as we have a lot of plans surrounding my daughter who heads to college in the fall. In order to be comfortable, my summer capsule wardrobe is casual, and can easily be worn with sneakers; a shoe style I am wearing a lot lately due to my injured foot.

Shorts and tee’s are summer staples, so I found a few tee’s which are slightly elevated with puff sleeves or tie sleeves. This way, I can stay casual without looking sloppy. Shorts are a must-have in the warm summer months, so these two pairs will serve me well! I always like to have pants in the summer too. Sometimes we get cool foggy days or mornings. Pants are perfect for the those days! These joggers are perfect because they move away from being everyday denim, yet offer just as much comfort as jeans. Love that!

This summer, people are dressing up a little bit more. After all, we are free from quarantine! So, in order to keep things casual and comfortable, yet not look like loungewear, I found this super comfortable dress priced under $50. I originally purchased it in blue, and I loved it so much, I bought two more! I now have it in black and stripes. It is really flattering, comfortable, and ideal for hot summer days. I plan to live in these dresses! LOVE! If you are looking for a fuss-free summer dress, this is the one!

Well, you might recognize most, if not all, of these shoes! Since I still have planter fasciitis in my foot, I haven’t purchased new shoes because I know which ones work for me right now. I would hate to buy a new pair only to find they hurt my feet after one wear. These shoes are all tried and true, so I know I can wear them pain-free! Love that!

For the summer 2022 season, I will be wearing my sneakers a lot since they have arch support and are the best option for my foot right now. Of course, sneakers are not always an option for certain events. This last week when two of my kids had graduation, and events surrounding graduation, I needed to wear nicer shoes. These slingback heels worked really well, and I was able to walk around pain free. The block heel hits my arch in the right spot and provides the ideal arch support. Love!

In addition to my slingbacks, these classic, tried and true, espadrille wedges, hit my arch in the right spot too! Love that! This means I can wear both of these shoes for occasions where I cannot get away with my comfy sneakers.

You might be side-eyeing the very flat, and unsupportive loafer flats in my summer shoe capsule wardrobe. Well, you have good reason! Thankfully I am able to wear them because my doctor gave me an arch band which fits on my foot and supports my arch. I should not go for a long walk in flat shoes, but I can wear them to lunch and not have foot pain.

Lastly, how cute are these woven slides? I purchased them last year and thankfully they are still on the market; just in case you have been thinking about them. The sole is very comfy and cushioned. They feel like slippers when you wear them! Due to my foot pain, I cannot take a long walk in them, but I can wear them without pain as long as I am not going to be walking for long periods of time. They are perfect for backyard BBQ’s, going to lunch, attending a casual event, and anything which does not require walking for long periods of time. Last summer, before my foot injury, I could walk for miles in them. So, if you are foot-injury-free, you can rest assured they would be very comfy and easy to walk in.
