Emily’s Spring Capsule Wardrobe

Emily here sharing my spring capsule wardrobe. I so enjoyed my winter capsule wardrobe. It made getting ready for the day so easy and it helped me feel more confident in my body because everything I wore each week fit and looked great on me! In my winter capsule I picked specific outfits to wear each day of the week. After a few weeks I ended up mixing and matching different pieces from the outfits I had selected. This time around I went for more of a classic capsule. I started by selecting pieces that were comfortable, fit well, and that were a bit lighter weight to accommodate the warm temps. Then I looked on my Pinterest to fill in any holes. Here is what I have come up with.

Sweaters.

5 sweaters. I kept the grey pull over and brown cardigan from my winter capsule. I added a stripe sweater my mom gave me. I also bought a grey sweatshirt and a black cropped cardigan.

Long Shirts.

I kept the black long sleeve from the winter capsule. Added a white long sleeve and a denim button down. I bought the black and white stripe long sleeve.

T- Shirts.

I kept the black and white T-shirt and purchased a black and white stripe shirt. And a word on all the stripes. After I had my first child I had gained weight (as one does). And I told myself “now that you’re bigger you can’t wear horizontal stripes!” Which I wore so much before having children. But I’ve always been told that horizontal stripes make you look bigger and larger so I said I couldn’t wear it anymore. Which is just silly! When I was looking at the capsules I had pinned all of them had stripe shirts. And I just finally gave myself permission to throw that “rule” out the window and wear what feels like “me” and what makes me feel good. So that’s why I have two stripe shirts in the capsule.

Pants.

I kept the madewell jeans, the leggings and the black jeans. I want some kind of shorts or sporty skort but I’d spent a lot of money already on the shirts and sweaters and it’s never hot enough in the spring to consistently wear shorts so I stuck with the pants. I may add some short overalls near the end of spring.

Next I’ll be sharing my spring capsule in action.
