I mentioned last week that I would be doing a spring capsule wardrobe, and that it would likely be my last venture into capsule wardrobe-dom. I’ve learned a lot from this process, but I don’t think it’s a permanent “lifestyle change” for me. However, I have a tendency to want to buy everything for spring, so I thought ending with my favorite season would be smart, for my budget at least.
This capsule is a little less pared-down than the last two, but it’s only because I already had a lot in my closet for spring. Another difference is that this is sort of a trial-and-error capsule; many things in my spring capsule I’m really not sure if I love or not. I thought I’d see what I actually end up wearing and then make some decisions about the rest. Finally, I’m giving myself permission to make some additions to this list (possibly just trade-outs), as my birthday is at the end of the month and you better believe I’ll be doing some shopping.
Without further ado, here’s what I’ll be wearing this spring:
{ similar dress | similar dress | dress}
{similar dress | similar skirt | similar skirt }
{similar skirt | similar skirt | similar skirt }
{similar blazer | similar blazer | similar jacket}
{similar cardigan | similar cardigan | similar cardigan}
{similar cardigan | similar cardigan | similar cardigan}
{column 1: similar top | similar tee | similar blouse | top | similar blouse}
{column 2: similar top | similar tee | similar top | similar tee}
{column 3: similar blouse | similar tee | similar top | similar blouse | similar tee}
{column 1: similar jeans | pants}
{column 2: similar pants | jeans| similar jeans}
{column 3: similar pants | similar jeans}
{sneakers | similar flats | similar wedges}
{similar wedges | sandals | similar sandals}
{similar flats | similar sandals | similar flats}
Total number of items: 48 (whoa!)
Additions I’m thinking about:
- new boyfriend jeans (would trade out current pair): I need a better fit, and would like them to be a little less distressed
- new graphic tee (would trade out current tee): Again, I’d like a better fit.
- special-occasion dress for upcoming weddings
- print blouse: I have a lot of tee shirts right now, I’d like to trade one out (navy or turquoise) for a colorful printed blouse
- leopard sandals (would trade out beige wedges): I put my leopard flats away, but considering how often I wore them I’d like a spring/summer leopard option for shoes.
What are you wearing for spring?
