Happy spring! I normally organize my capsule wardrobe a couple weeks before the season begins, but this year, the weather has been so wintery, spring was not on my radar and my capsule wardrobe was a little slow! In order to adjust to this year’s wintery weather pattern, my spring capsule wardrobe is a bit warmer than in spring season’s past.

This spring, I am incorporating knits which I will wear a layering tee underneath. In addition, these knits can easily be topped with a blazer or jacket to stay warm. Why is it so cold this year? Ugh. . .

Thankfully, blazers are still a hot trend as menswear continues to dominate the runways and influence the streets. This blazer has been a mainstay in my wardrobe over the past three years, as it is a classic tweed blazer which plays well with any color scheme. Love that!

As I move away from skinny jeans, I have fallen in love with the jeans from Express since they offer short lengths. You can read my full review here. These two pairs in the photo above will be perfect for the spring season.

Classic jewelry is always in style, and this year it is the ultimate jewelry style to wear. I am in love with these silver pieces from Lois Hill, you can read more about the designer here.

I still have a spring wish list which includes green, a hot color for spring, and additional spring trends such as Mary Janes shoes! You can see my whole wish list here.

Stay tuned for more spring coverage!

Winter 2023 capsule wardrobe

Winter 2023 capsule wardrobe from left: tweed blazer (under $100) / magenta scarf (vintage Loro Piana, also love this one) / black long sleeve tee / magenta sweater (under $100) / flare jeans / black flare jeans /

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.

Holidays 2022 capsule wardrobe from left: champagne sequin shirt / small golden clutch (next size up here) / blue and silver earrings / dark wash wide leg jeans (under $100, avl in short, reg., tall lengths) / golden boots /

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!
