A Colorful Spring Capsule Wardrobe!

I learned a LOT from my fall capsule wardrobe (and talked about my lessons learned here!) and had so much fun putting it together with our stylist, Jordy. While I learned that sticking to a strict capsule may not be 100% for me, I still felt so inspired by the whole concept and loved how it challenged me to get out of my typical style “uniforms” and try some new combos. Luckily, you guys LOVED that post too, so we decided to go ahead and put together a colorful spring capsule wardrobe this time!!!

Of course, color for spring is much easier to come by, so we took the color levels up a notch for this one. I am SO IN LOVE with how this turned out. You can watch my video here for my top tips for creating your own capsule wardrobe. Unlike a traditional capsule, since we were going mostly for outfit inspiration for you guys here, we selected mostly new pieces. If you are doing a true capsule, you should try to build upon as many pieces from your past season capsule as possible. You’ll see a few familiar ones here though!

If nothing else, I hope that this inspires you to try some new silhouettes, layers and color combos this spring!

Once again, we went with a 35 piece wardrobe. This time our color palette was light + deep blues, light + bright pinks, mint, yellow and denim and white as neutrals. We also focused on adding in some interesting textures (like velvet, seersucker and pleats) and patterns (like stripes and bold florals). I’ve broken down the entire thing below so you can snag your faves if you’d like!
