Thoughts on a Spring Capsule

 

Well, you all are so very kind to tag along with me (as if you have a choice) on my capsule wardrobe adventures this year. Back in March, when I wrapped up my winter capsule, I shared with yous ome of the thoughts I had on that leg of the journey, and now I want to do the same regarding my spring capsule choices.

            One of the biggest things I noticed in the spring capsule was that I started to feel more comfortable mixing and matching on my own. In the winter version, I was sticking so closely to the inspiration capsule, trying to copy everything she did. In this one, I was more willing to try my own mixes and matches.

            The spring capsule almost felt like two separate groupings: one for cold weather and one for warm. Welcome to spring in Indiana! I kept some sweaters and warmer pieces because I started this capsule mid-March, when we still have plenty of cooler days. But we also had a lot of really hot days between that day and May 31 when it ended, so I felt like I switched back and forth between the two a lot.

            I loved the new colors. My winter capsule had been heavy on the darker colors. This one was much more about pinks and navy and light green. I liked it very much. I’m starting to learn more about the colors I like and that work with my hair and skin tones.

            Layering in spring is not as easy as winter…and I fear summer is going to be more challenging yet! I tried to add some sweaters/jackets/vests and then just take them off if I got too warm.

            Much like the winter capsule, I loved almost everything I chose. There are a couple that I didn’t 100% love and I might not keep in a future year, but  most things were a win!

            Scarves are harder in spring. I had one that was lighter in weight and color, but I only wore it once. (I think that was mostly because I forgot I had it. It was hidden.)

            I’m starting to learn (probably for the first time ever in my whole life) what feels like my own actual style. It’s pretty exciting!

            Here are the spring pictures! (You already saw all of them in the weekly recaps, but here they are all together.)

            The summer capsule is underway, and I’ll be sharing it soon!
