Mini Capsule Wardrobe for Spring: 7 Essentials

Picture

After last week's mammoth list of new spring fashion trends, you may be feeling overwhelmed with the task of sorting what you want to get this year, from what you'd rather leave behind.

I always suggest starting small.

In fact, the first way to shorten your fashion to-do list is to remove every suggestion that you already know won't work for you. Then, take what's less and go fake shopping.

Take your wish list to the store, try a few things on, take pictures of yourself and this time, circle all the beautiful possibilities. But here's another way to simplify your spring search - focus only on the essentials...

Another Simplified Approach: 7 Spring Essentials


I hope this post helped you simplify your spring style plan.

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine

Obviously, folks won't be flocking to the clothing stores any time soon.

While yeah we won't be flocking to the clothing stores anytime soon, we can still look at clothes online and order them, there are apps actually that allow you to try on new styles and return those that do not fit into your style or look.....fit you as you may have thought no?!?!? Can you talk about those one day? Just wondering....I know I've seen them somewhere but if you can go further into details about them it may help myself and others dress for success in whatever we are doing in LIFE these days!! Thank You, the video was helpful and loved the jacket.....that and the jeans are ME!

Thanks so much, Pam!! Hey, that's a great idea for a May post. I will see if I can come up with some app recommendations.

I have been shopping online, Amrita! Though I have mostly tried to work with my ten-piece capsule, my 10x10 challenge inspired me to add a few accessories, and I found them online. Glad you're keeping these ideas in mind.

I've always been the type of clothes shopper who makes sure what I buy goes with something else I own. Plus, I've never shied away from shopping thrift stores and clearance racks. Important to me are fit, what I enjoy, and saving money.

I have, too, Kat! And I think that's the best way to go about it, because you end up with more outfit variations that way. Those are great shopping values, too.

Thank you for sharing this video. It gave me a lot of good ideas. I would say that my favorite part was about trends. I've never chosen clothes or accessories that are trendy, but it sounds like a fun idea.

It is fun! I mostly avoid them, too, but when I do go for them, it feels neat to be trendy. :)

I actually don't shop that often but these past few months I've been overhauling my closet. I've been donating so much that I haven't worn or even looked at in a year or more! I'm finding it's easier to put outfits together with less! Since following your capsules, I've been organizing what I have into my own little capsules!

    ​Hi, I'm Jeanine Byers :)

    I'm an author,  Christian image consultant, proud former homeschool boy mom of a college student, Hallmark movie fan and big cuppa tea drinker. 

    I believe that creating your signature style is a spiritual calling. It's about seeing yourself as God does and delighting in your own beauty and style.

    I'm specializing in color analysis and signature style for black women.

    As women of color, we often aren't analyzed correctly when we receive color analysis. And all of our lives, we have been given sometimes subtle, and sometimes more overt societal messages about not meeting the cultural standards of beauty.

    My mission is to help you discover, embrace and celebrate your own beauty and style. 

    Thanks for dropping by! I'll see you soon.

    Love, Jeanine
