Fist pump! It’s time to share my spring 2016 capsule wardrobe with you!
Oh my word. I love spring! While I love cold weather and the layering possibilities that come with it, there is something so fresh and exciting about spring.
The air is warmer, the light gets brighter, and if you live in a frozen tundra like I do (that may be a slight over exaggeration. Maybe.) it’s just so dang refreshing.
I had mentioned previously that my winter capsule has been my favorite so far, but you guys… this one just might take the cake.
SO! Let’s break it down shall we?
I ended up with (surprise!) 40 total clothing items including shoes and jackets. If you’ve been around for a bit you know that I take a more flexible approach to how many items I include in my capsules. With that said, somehow I’ve always ended up with forty items. The difference is that this time I included my jackets in that number.
My winter capsule really taught me a lot in regards to how I was putting my capsules together. I’m going to have a little confessional moment here and admit that there were certain clothing items that I was only including because they would look good in a blog post. I know. Judge me all you want. But no more my friends! This time, I got really real with myself and only included clothes that actually make sense with my lifestyle. You’ll notice that it’s a little more casual because… well… stay at home mom.
I added a little bit more color in this capsule. Now that I’m a brunette I’m actually drawn to a little bit more diversity in color. But just a little. I’m still a neutral girl at heart.
You’ll notice a fair amount of basics included in this capsule and a good amount of “upgrades”. As I mentioned previously, I’m making the slow move towards the French Five and so I tried to prioritize my budget on replacing worn out items or upgrading to a higher quality version (I am in the process of selling what I upgraded from).
And finally! Every single item that I bought for this capsule was purchased secondhand. In the images below I have listed where I acquired each new item to help you see how I put it together.
Special thanks to Thred Up and Brass Clothing.
