The Capsule Wardrobe Experiment: Spring Capsule Preview

After spending 3 months drinking the capsule wardrobe Kool-aid, I think it's safe to say that I no longer need to refer to this as an "experiment." As warmer temperatures have started to flirt with us over the past couple weeks, I've gotten a good start on the pieces that will be hanging in my closet during the spring months. I'm still working on finalizing it (and incorporating a lot of the lessons I learned from winter in the process), but I thought I'd share a peak of how my spring capsule is shaping up!

Notice anything different? I loved my neutral-dominant winter capsule, but being able to see green grass and blue skies again has me dying to introduce some color back into my wardrobe. Black, white, and gray will still be making plenty of appearances, perhaps complemented by a bright cardigan or pair of flats.

1. Watercolor Floral Cami (Express) 
I'm oddly obsessed with floral prints right now and, with the fact that this cami can be worn alone or under a yellow or teal cardigan, I had to have it. The print is perfectly springy without being too over the top.

2. Teal blouse (H&M) 
The color of this blouse is just gorgeous! I'm already thinking about how I can pair it with black pants, my favorite grey jeans, or a pair of blue jeans for a more casual look. 

3. White tank (Express)
A basic white tee is pretty much a wardrobe staple, but I found that despite always having one in my closet, I rarely ever wore it. This year I opted for a simple white tank instead, and I've already found myself reaching for it (oops).

4. Yellow cardigan (J. Crew Factory) 
I own this cardigan in multiple colors, but the yellow is one of my favorites. I'm normally not one for super bright colors (I mean you saw my winter capsule, right), but I couldn't resist this ray of sunshine.

5. Black romper (Target)
I hopped on the romper train late last summer, and I was instantly in love. What could make getting dressed easier than an all-in-one outfit? I love the sleeve length of this one and that style of it works for everything from running errands to evening drinks 

6. Gray chambray sneakers (Vans)
Ok, ok, these were technically an impulse buy. I was planning to add a pair of easy, casual sneakers to my capsule, and was thinking more along the lines of Chuck Taylors that everyone and their mom seems to be wearing right now (why did I ever get rid of mine from high school?!), but when I saw these Vans they seemed more my style.

 7. Teal flats (Target)
I may not be into a lot of different colors when it comes to clothes, but I am definitely on board with fun shoes. I think these flats are going to be a great way to add a little fun to my monochromatic outfits.

Has spring sprung yet where you live? What colors are you dying to start wearing again?
