Go shopping - After you’ve chosen your items from your closet go through the spring capsule wardrobe checklist below and “make up the difference” shopping your favorite stores. Pick things you love - When you shop your closet be sure to choose pieces that are in good condition (no stains or tears) and you truly enjoy wearing! Make sure each piece “sparks joy” for you! You’re going to be wearing them a lot and so you want each one to pull it’s weight!!. Shop your closet first - There is no need to go buy all new things! Within the categories below and color scheme you selected go through your closet and find the gems you can’t wait to wear!. Layering is key - I have a couple “on the bubble” tops that have bulky sleeves that aren’t great for layering it’s fine for May, but not so great for March, so I may swap them out for new pieces when my budget opens back up again. 🙂 If you’re having trouble deciding on a palette you can draw inspiration from a favorite clothing piece like I did or check out my Spring Capsule Pinterest board where I’ve pinned some color inspiration for you! I also have a couple of pieces in army green and denim, but I consider these bonus neutrals. My inspiration for my color palette is the black floral dress I got last summer. Pick 3-4 accent colors - I chose blush, lilac, yellow, and blue. Pick 2 neutral colors - I chose gray and black because I love them and I have a lot of clothes and completer pieces already in these colors! I’d suggest choosing a combo that also go together like gray and black, white and navy, cream and brown. I will always be honest about what I like and use, whether or not you decide to buy something is completely up to you.

I LOVE having a “think less” wardrobe that all mixes and matches together BUT I’m not going to swear to only use these pieces so help me God until Memorial Day. This doesn’t include athletic wear, pajamas, “lounge” clothes, bathing suits or other specialty items. I may keep a couple extra dresses “on retainer” for spring date nights! I love wearing dresses!. The weather in the midwest is hysterically unpredictable during this period so I am totally comfortable swapping snow boots for rain boots or shorts for jeans if needed. I am planning on wearing this wardrobe from early March-mid-May. Of course, I’m not too much on following rules so I’m making SURE this capsule wardrobe work for my Indiana spring! A few things I took into consideration when planning my wardrobe. What I love about a spring capsule wardrobe is that it makes getting dressed so easy and frustration-free! You carefully curate a smaller wardrobe. I hated feeling less than in my clothes and frustrated by revisiting clothes that were just not quite flattering or comfortable.Ī capsule wardrobe by definition is “a collection of clothes and accessories that includes only items considered essential”. It was “whatever” I told myself.īut it wasn’t. I felt like crying but children’s ministry on Sunday morning waits for no man, so I slid into my worn jeans and t-shirt, slid my smile into place and headed out the door.
It was bad enough that my post-pregnancy body was two sizes bigger STILL, now my favorite shirt had an oil stain on it! UGHH!!!! I heaved off another shirt into the already growing pile of clothes on my bedroom floor. You’ll love building a confidence-inspiring wardrobe with this spring capsule wardrobe checklist! And it will help you simplify your clothing choices as you transition into spring! Mix and match to create variety with pieces you love!!
