Capsule Wardrobe Summer Update -

Afterward having Kai, and walking into my closet also many times finding I "had goose egg to habiliment" I decided it was time for a alter, and committed to a Capsule Wardrobe for myself. Y'all tin read nigh how I did it here and here. It has been about a year since I did it, and almost 3 seasons, so I thought it was time for an update.

Here I laid out exactly what I put in my sheathing. Considering I live in Arizona, where nosotros don't accept too many seasonal changes, I didn't really think I needed seasonal capsule. Instead I chose to practise more of a year circular sheathing, with a few items I could bandy in and out for colder/warmer atmospheric condition. I am also a Stay At Home mom right now, then I didn't take any need for a Work Sheathing.

Withal, later on nearly a year, I have re-evaluated some of my items, and thus figured it was time for an update on what my capsule is like now.

For the nigh function, honestly, I kept, and loved what I chose to put in my closet. I did swap out jeans a couple of times equally I lost weight afterward the baby, and I will continue to do that as I go along to lose the weight. I Have 2 pairs of skinny jeans I vesture, one regular and one distressed, and I found that for the day to day that was all I needed. However, I continually found myself looking for something a little different for those times when we go out. I also constitute that I did not once clothing my maxi skirts, but regularly found myself wanting a maxi dress and midi apparel. (I know I had a maxi dress in my original sheathing list, but it ripped soon after and I didn't supplant it for some reason.)

Every bit for my t shirts and other tops? I lived in my stripes and solids. I didn't long for whatever of the trendy, funky pieces. I did get a couple of Graphic tees, that I love and wear constantly. And so to me that ways they are a keeper for the capsule.

My skirts, I don't wear all the time, but I do wear for church building, so I kept them in in that location. And who knows, I may clothing them this summertime because I institute these and they are a game changer for wearing skirts and dresses.

These are some of the items I decided I needed in my capsule. Now, in order to put these in, something else had to come out. And so go on that in mind when working with your capsule. This is not necessarily in addition to, but rather in place of. I took out all of my cool weather condition stuff like sweaters and jackets (except ii lightweight ones) because, well, it's Arizona and we are already at 1-ii degrees. Merely i exercise go dorsum and along to California a lot and evenings there can be chilly even in summertime. And bluntly I am always cold.

1.Flare Jeans

The flare jeans were my solution to wanting something different than skinny jeans. Flares are super flattering, and I can wear sky high wedges with them, which is fun, stylish, and comfortable for this mommy. (Yeah, my days of sky loftier heels are behind me for a while.)

ii. I was super skeptical of the utility vest. I seemed so safari ranger to me. But I was skeptical of the utility jacket besides, only once I had one I wear it all the time, and got rid of other jackets because of it. Well, the belong is the jackets warm weather cousin. I love it, and love that information technology adds a flake of mode to the usual jeans and tee momiform, and looks beautiful with my converse, toms, or heels. (Mine is from Target, and they exercise not have it anymore, but They take them everywhere correct at present.)

three. Striped tee/tank

I found myself reaching for my striped tee/tanks all the time. they are totally a neutral and go with everything, then for summertime i swapped out my long sleeved tee for a tank.

iv. Maxi dress

I wanted a new maxi dress that I could throw on and experience put together in, but being as curt as I am that is easier said than done. Seems similar every dress I constitute was and then long fifty-fifty with my five inch wedges I would have tripped on a expert 5 inches. Still, Former Navy has petite ones online!

5. Blackness/brown catch all tote

I am a bag hoarder. Yeah, I have a problem. But really I haven't bought a bag in well over a couple years. Basically because for the most part I only acquit a diaper bag (joys of little kids.) There have been plenty of days though, when I actually do not want to lug that big diaper bag full of two pounds of wipes and three pounds of snacks and apparel, everywhere. And seeing as Kai will no longer be using a bottle or formula presently, I won't have a reason to need to take a bottle on me all the time. A Simple catch all tote in black or brown is perfect. I have a great black Bus tote I got years ago, similar before kids, that has been great for those times.  This i from target is super cute though too! And only $thirty! (And aye, I will be cleaning out my purses and getting rid of some. Peradventure to make room for this ane…)

6. White Converse

When everyone in loftier school and college was wearing antipodal, I was wearing heels or my leather Rainbows. I never saw myself wearing them. And and so I had two kids, and needed something other than slippers all the time. So, my sister convinced me to endeavour a pair and I am hooked. I wear mine all the fourth dimension. Comfy and cute. That'south capsule perfection.  Even better is mine are slip ons, and then no tying laces.

7. Wedges

I do love a good wedge though. And these are perfect for Bound/Summer, unless you live on the surface of the Sun similar I practice, in which example they volition be perfect yr round! And these specific ones are soooo comfy. I tin can even carry the baby not feel similar I am going to topple over.

8. Midi Wearing apparel

The midi apparel is super popular correct now, and for good reason. It's beautiful, simple, and flattering. And calculation a trendy piece to the capsule every now and and then makes sense. The capsule should keep you stylish, not dated. So this dress was perfect, because it was inexpensive, in fact I found mine on sale for like $11, and the perfect length on me, which is hard to find!

And then these are what I added into my Capsule for Spring/Summer. I took out my sweaters, sweatshirts, jackets, long sleeves, and maxi skirts (considering I didn't habiliment the skirts.) I replaced the maxi skirts with the flared jeans, considering that made more sense for me.

P.S. These Skimmies past Jockey are nothing brusk of amazing if you are a skirt/dress wearer, particularly in summer. Lets be honest, most of us do non take a "thigh gap", nor should we. These are amazing and super comfortable. And, they take the identify of a traditional slip. Comfortable and no more encounter through skirts! Win Win!
