Spring is starting within days, and I have assembled my capsule wardrobe for the season. Of course, I may add one or two items as the season goes on; I am eyeing a trendy floral top with puff sleeves.

Speaking of puff sleeves . . .they are back! That didn’t take long. It seems like ’80’s puff sleeves were just a hot thing, and here we are again! So, I am trying to not go too crazy on this cheeky trend. I bought one, very affordable, striped puff sleeve knit top for the spring season. It will pair well with my denim maxi skirt and jeans. It will be too casual for the office except on casual Friday.

On the topic of denim. . . it’s hot! Then again, when is it not? But, I digress. . .

Denim is on everything right now. So, keep your eyes posted for any type of clothing in denim as well as denim shoes and handbags. If you already own something like this from last time everything on the planet was denim, pull it out of your closet and wear it now! If not, don’t be afraid to indulge in something denim that is not pants. It’s a fun trend which recycles itself every so often.

I don’t have any really formal events this spring season, so this shirt dress will turn into a workhorse. It can be worn to the office as well as casually and for springtime events. It is quite versatile since different shoes and bags dress it up or down. Love this classic piece! I highly recommend investing in one for your wardrobe. Mine comes in regular and petite. Love that!

Fall capsule wardrobe 2025

Life is casual this fall season, so my fall capsule wardrobe reflects an easygoing, casual season. This year we are seeing a continuation of timeless style, so keeping pieces classic and neutral is key for fall 2025. We are also seeing cardigan sweaters as a huge breakout trend; which is fabulous since they are a closet staple and timeless style.

In addition to neutrals, traditional autumn hues such as deep red, dark yellow, shades of green, ivory, winter white, and chocolate brown are trending for the fall 2025 season. Also look for bold buttons, statement sunglasses, and jeans without any holes or distressing. Think chic for fall.

This prompted me to put together a cozy yet simple capsule wardrobe for the fall 2025 season. Classic cut jeans, bold buttons on cardigans, cozy and classic sweaters, simple jewelry, and big sunglasses are perfect this fall season. I love this since the bigger the sunglasses, the happier I am.

Business casual summer capsule wardrobe 2025

Business casual summer capsule from top left: short sleeve sweater / white twist blouse / wide leg pants / tweed blazer / white skirt / statement earrings / black tee / pink nail polish /

Summer is here, and if you work in a business casual environment, like the ones we have here in Silicon Valley, you might be wondering how to put lighter-weight outfits together.

These tee’s are very affordable and hold their shape. They are easy to wear under a cardigan sweater or blazer. When sitting at your desk, or off to lunch, you can easily leave the cardigan or blazer at your desk and just wear the tee. This is perfect on those ninety degree days we get!

Love a pair of linen pants! These wide leg pants are fashionable and practical. You can wear them almost everyday with a different top. They come in petite, regular and tall sizes. Love that!

Summer sweaters are cool yet put together for the office, same with a good blouse. This one has a fun little twist!

This white skirt may only be good on Friday’s, but it is lined, so it has a more formal look to it than your average casual white skirt. This means you can wear it to the office if your dress code allows. Love!
