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?

first off, hey i see you new domain thingy :) congrats!
ReplyDeletesecondly, i can already see i'm going to have the same issue as i did with your winter capsule... and that is, liking everything and wanting to buy it. that teal blouse, so fabulous.
at first i thought this was your whole spring capsule wardrobe and i got a bit worried (no pants?!) haha.
i am the same with the white tee - i have had them for years but i don't love them and never reach for them. i only just realised i don't like V Necks on me, and that's why, so I am searching for a white scoopneck, relaxed tee. I really like the layering top we have from loft, i basically want that in tshirt form lol.
Watercolor camis!!!!! YES x100000000.
ReplyDeleteAnd yay for color!
I'm loving those sneakers, too!
Heart-eye emoji all over this post. I'm so pumped to pull out all my floral prints. I'm not really a "girly girl" in the sense of loving pink and glitter and whatever, but a cheery, big floral print is so refreshing, especially after a long, gray winter. I love all these picks and am drooling over that romper! I love rompers too and definitely plan to scoop up one or two more this season. Oh and p.s., I'm still wearing my chucks from high school. Literally, as in, right now I've got them on. Song lyrics scribbled on the sides and everything *monkey covering eyes emoji*
ReplyDeleteYour capsule post comes very timely for me, as I am about to do a final purge of my closet and force myself to get rid of thing things in which I do not wear and make me feel bad. Its a lot. I am the same way with white tees, I have a few that have lasted several seasons...only because I never wore them. I have one off white blouse that I wear and a white cami for under things..so perhaps I should purge those tees. We shall see.
ReplyDeleteI love floral and water color! And bright colors are a total must! Even though black dresses and tops follow me well through the summer too. I cant wait to go spring clothes shopping! I need some pieces that I love.
I really need to do this, especially now that I have a job where I wear scrubs everyday. I have so many clothes and hardly wear any of them anymore! I love rompers but have not taken the plunge and actually purchased one yet. I tried on a very similar one in The Loft last week and thought it was so cute, but they ended up not having my size.
ReplyDeleteHere's my clothing problem- I like neutrals and pastels, but I think I look better in colors that are more bright or bold so I want to start wearing them more often even though I'm not usually as drawn to them as say blush or beige or something. I think the other part of that problem is that I feel like bolder pieces stand out more so I can't switch them around with different outfits as much. Basically, what I'm trying to say is I can't wait to see what you pick out / how you style it! Also, I've been on the hunt for something similar to your cutout oxfords, you've probably mentioned it before but where did you get them?
ReplyDeleteLOVE these pieces. Good choices!
ReplyDeleteAlso, for years, I wore Converse. (My brother has barely owned any other shoe since he was in middle school. I'm not kidding. And it's the only shoe I can get Michael to wear) They were a little too narrow for my feet, but I still wore the crap out of them for years. Last spring, I impulsively bought a pair of gray Vans (not the exact pair you got, but similar), and I have worn them with EVERYTHING. Not even kidding. From jeans to crops to skirts to dresses. They were the best impulse buy ever.
I wish the romper look worked for me! I live in dresses all of spring and summer so I'm looking for my new collection soon!
ReplyDeleteLook at you with your new domain and new blog name and look and everything! Whoohoo!
ReplyDeleteLove that tank from Express. I always forget about that store and I'm not sure why... I used to shop there often! Clearly, I need to again because that's some cute stuff. I have that J Crew cardi - it's great for spring! I think Vans are adorable, but they're too wide for my skinny feet. Whoomp.
I love that romper, especially because it has the rolled up sleeves, so it's easier to transition from day to night. Of course it's sold out- ugh! I'm really into mint this summer. I just got a pair of mint Converses that I'm ready to break in!
ReplyDeleteWe only got a tease of Spring and now its back to snowing daily :( I think someone around here must have pissed off Mother Nature. It's supposed to get to +14 tomorrow though and I'll be pulling out my flip flops and shorts if it does! haha. I just can't wait to start wearing any form of colour again. All I've worn lately is black and grey - I need to do some spring shopping to refill my closet with some colour!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that Express cami and the black romper but I just don't think I'd ever be able to pull off a romper!
Even though I don't wear colour, I love the colours you're going with! And go you for sticking to what you've learned and applying it to each season!
ReplyDeleteI need to not look at these posts because i just bought that teal shirt.. and the black and white version of it too! thanks for the find but quit picking such cute stuff!! ;)
ReplyDeleteI cannot even WAIT for the flowers to start blooming again - I 100% believe that brighter colors are better for us ;) I've loved following along w your purchases and outfit mixes! So cute.
ReplyDeleteLoving those colors!
