Spring Capsule Wardrobe

Last week I wrote about my decision to begin a capsule wardrobe and what kind of wardrobe I wanted.  Today I am going to share with you my spring capsule wardrobe. 

*Quick Disclaimer:  Some of the clothes are wrinkled.  This is because I wear them and they may have been in the hamper getting ready to be laundered. 

I began planning my spring wardrobe in the beginning of March.  I began by brainstorming the colors I wanted my wardrobe to focus on. I found the website http://www.colourlovers.com that allows you to create your own color palettes and save them.  You can check out my spring palette here: http://www.colourlovers.com/palette/4121280/Printemps

I chose four colors.  Two are neutrals (white and a taupey gray).  Two are not (a light pink and mint). 

Next, I headed to my closet.  I found that I had several items that went with my chosen palette, and some that did not.  Ideally, I would love for all my clothes to go with the colors I had picked (with the exception of jeans), however, I need to use what I have.  So I brought those clothes to my spring wardrobe as well. 

 Here are the clothes that went with the palette:

Here are the ones that did not:

I also found that I needed to purchase a few items.  I needed a new flowy white top, a white t-shirt, bootcut jeans, and a pair of shorts.  This is when the fun began!  I got to go shopping!  Here is what I purchased:

That took care of clothing, but what about accessories?  Here are the shoes, jewelry, and scarves I chose to accentuate my wardrobe:

My wedding ring does not count toward my 33 pieces as it is something I wear all the time.  That is why you won’t see it on here. 

Finally, I got to put outfits together and begin wearing them.  The plan was to wear these clothes from March until the end of May.  So I am almost done with my spring wardrobe (which reminds me…I need to work on summer…) 

Next week I will go over how that has been going (mostly well) and what I have learned.  Stay tuned!
