PASTEL SPRING SWEATER FROM STITCH FIX


Sharing a spring outfit! Hooray! The weather has been so nice lately - sunny, 60's. Love it. I wore this outfit over the weekend for a family brunch to celebrate my sister's birthday. I got this sweater in my last Stitch Fix box & I'm obsessed with the pastel color & how soft the material is. It's also lightweight enough to be worn in the spring. I paired it with these trouser pants from Old Navy. I originally bought these pants in black and loved them so much, I went back for the striped pair. They are so comfy but look put together for work or weekends.


Sweater: Vero Moda via Stitch Fix (sign up for a box here) | Pants: Old Navy | Shoes: J Crew | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff

25 ITEMS FOR A CAPSULE WARDROBE




As we enter spring, I've been spring cleaning like crazy. Not only literally cleaning some areas of our home that don't often get cleaned, but also organizing & downsizing. (We've only lived in our apartment for about 6 months but it's amazing how much STUFF we've collected already! ha). Since my closet in our home is definitely smaller than the one in parent's home, I've worked harder to try to create a wardrobe for myself that is super versatile and can easily be mixed and matched - a capsule wardrobe to an extent - and then I add in some additional 'special' pieces. 
See below for 25 must have items for a capsule wardrobe!

  PS. In case you are missing any of these from your current wardrobe, I linked to an example of the item that I am loving!

 TOPS:

DRESSES:
T Shirt Dress
Maxi Dress
Denim Dress

To be fair, my wardrobe includes all of these items and some days I wear different combinations of what's listed but I also have fun pieces, like printed blouses or a trendy pair of shoes. This post is simply a guide! Start with these items & then add fun pieces or accessories to complete your wardrobe & give you lots and lots of outfit options.
