My spring 2023 shoe capsule wardrobe is slim this year, because to be frank, it is still very cold outside! I am wearing rain boots and sneakers more than anything else these days with all of this rainfall and unseasonably cold weather. That being said, I do have spring shoes in my archives which are both classic and on trend for the spring 2023 season.

I am sure you know about investment shopping and investment dressing. These loafer mules, and ballet flats, are investment pieces I purchased many years ago. They are always in style, and this year, the ballet flats are a hot trend. Love that! If you haven’t invested in a good pair of loafer mules or ballet flats, I highly recommend finding a beautiful pair to invest in this season. You will find yourself reaching for them year after year; then you won’t need to buy new shoes every year since you will already have a classic pair in your closet. While you may spend more in the short run on an investment pair of shoes, you end up saving money in the long run by not needing to replace them every year.

In addition to loafer mules and ballet flats, slides are still a hot trend as we move into both spring and summer, as well as street sneakers. While disco platform pumps are also a hot trend, you won’t be seeing me in those. I need to be closer to earth.

As you shop for spring, look for square toes too. The square toe is a huge trend in footwear right now, and you will see it a lot in the coming seasons.

These street sneakers are super fun since they are in the color of 2023. The retro high-top style is also a fun vibe which works well with the 1980s and 1990s influence we are seeing in fashion right now.

Hopefully the rain tapers off, so I can wear all these shoes and not get wet! haha

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!
