A Summer capsule wardrobe is something that can make getting dressed so much easier. It is a wardrobe of pieces that you can mix and match for all kinds of outfits. The pieces not only work together but they are fashionable and can express your personal style. You’ll be ready for all occasions this summer with high-quality items that you love.

In today’s post, I put together a complete Spring Summer capsule wardrobe along with a ton of outfit ideas. All of the items can be mixed and matched a ton of different ways to keep changing up the looks. I also have some tips on how to create a capsule wardrobe.

2022 Summer Capsule Wardrobe

2022 Summer Capsule Wardrobe

Dresses

Dresses can obviously be worn year-round but I especially love them in the warmer months. They are a crucial part of any capsule wardrobe. In one piece, you have a complete outfit. For spring and summer dresses focus on easy, light fabrics like cotton and linen. Any fabric that isn’t too hot will keep you the most comfortable.

If you are one to wear dresses often, I suggest anywhere from 2 to 4 in your capsule wardrobe. One or two should be classic cuts and solid colors. These will be the most versatile and can be style so many ways. Then one can have a print and be a bit more trendy.

The key to the versatility with dresses is to make sure they can be worn with different types of shoes and accessories. When I pick out a dress I make sure it works with 2 of these types of shoes: heeled sandals, flat sandals, flats and tennis shoes.

Tops

For summer tops in a spring summer capsule wardrobe, start with some great basic t-shirts. A classic white t-shirt is a must! It goes with every short, pants or skirt you have. Make sure it fits well, is high quality and isn’t see-thru. Bodysuits are also a great piece. A black one can be dressed up for evening but is still casual enough to wear in the daytime. A button-down is another classic item for summer style. A modern take is to wear an oversized style.

After you have the basics taken care of, you can really have some fun! Pick a few pretty blouses with some special details. This is where you can really showcase your personal style. I’m really loving puff sleeves and stripes.

Pants

A summer capsule wardrobe has to have a pair of denim shorts! They are arguably the most versatile piece in the whole wardrobe. They look great with basic items like a white t-shirt or a bodysuit. Denim shorts also look great with cute blouses and dressy tops. Find a pair in a medium wash with a fit that you are most comfortable with!

Once you have the denim shorts covered the next pants to add to a summer capsule wardrobe are denim in a regular wash and in white! White jeans are my favorite in the warmer months. They look pulled together and super chic. It is also really cute to do a full color-blocked outfit and wear all white or cream. Apart from denim, a great wardrobe needs great pants. Pick a summer fabric like linen or cotton.

Shoes

Summer is all about sandals! For versatility have a flat and heeled sandal in your capsule wardrobe. Pick a heeled sandal that you are comfortable with! If you tend to be a bit more casual, a block-heeled sandal works well. If you like things on the dressier side, pick a pair with a dressier heel.

Tennis shoes are another must for a spring-summer capsule wardrobe. They make dresses more casual plus are more comfortable than any other shoe!

Accessories

Purses are by far my favorite accessory, so it is no wonder that I include 3 in a summer capsule wardrobe. I recommend having a few high quality purses over a bunch of ones that are low quality. While leather purses work year round, especially when they are in neutral colors, sometimes it is fun to have a really seasonal piece. I love raffia purses because they can add so much to an outfit! Whether it is a clutch or a tote like in this capsule wardrobe, they give any outfit such a cute summer vibe.

A couple pieces of statement jewelry really round out the whole capsule wardrobe. This is another place that you can really show personal style. I think a statement earring has the most impact to an outfit. A couple pairs can be mixed and matched with a lot of pieces.

How to Build a Summer Capsule Wardrobe in 2022

How to Build a Capsule Wardrobe

In my Winter Capsule wardrobe post here I give lots of tips on building a capsule wardrobe. I’ve added a few more tips that will help you build a wardrobe that you’ll love!

Find your Color Palette

A neutral base will obviously create a capsule wardrobe with the most versatility. They are the easiest pieces to mix and match to create new outfits. But we all want to have some color in our life. Picking one or two colors to add to the color palette will still keep things cohesive but add to your personality. For the capsule wardrobe I put together, I picked blush and blue as the two colors I focused on. Not only do they go with the neutrals but they look good paired together well.

Focus on Summer Fabrics

Summer is hot! All pieces in a summer capsule wardrobe should be in lighter fabrics like cotton, linen, seersucker and jersey. They are all breathable and will stay comfortable in the heat. These pieces are also just lighter so tops and dresses will be ore flowy and summer like. Avoid clothing pieces in nylon, fleece, vinyl and polyester.

Focus on Quality and Fit

Each item in a capsule wardrobe should fit you well. If you need to, get pieces tailored. I guarantee you that you’ll be happier and wear items more often when they fit well. Something that goes hand in hand with a good fit is quality. Better-made pieces will last and get you thru season after season. For a great Invest in the best pieces that you can afford, especially the classic items. If you want something trendier, that is when you can look at fast fashion.

Love Every Item

This should actually be the tip you follow the most. By nature of a capsule wardrobe, there are less items and you wear them more often. This makes it even more crucial that you love all the items! Each item should be comfortable and something you want to wear. If you don’t love the items you won’t be as excited to wear them.

Other Great Options for the Capsule

As soon as the weather warms up, I am ready to get out and socialize. I am ready to see friends and family and have a much busier social life. It is also lighter so much longer in the evenings so I find myself wanting to do something after work more often than just going home. It is nice to get out, maybe hang out on a patio or just spend time outside! What is also more fun in the warmer weather is date night! There are so many fun activities to do. It is also a great time to try different looks! In this post, I am sharing fun, stylish, and cute date night outfits for all types of spring activities.

Cute Date Night Outfits for Spring

Cute Date Night Outfits for Spring

All of these outfit ideas are about outfit formulas. An outfit formula is a combination of clothing items that make a great look! Having a few outfit combos that you love are helpful when you aren’t sure what to wear or need to create an outfit quickly. You can interchange the same type of pieces to create a ton of combinations so you won’t feel like you are wearing the same thing over and over. If you like a certain top or skirt etc finding outfit combinations that work with those pieces will help you make the most of your wardrobe.

Crop Top & Jeans

Crop top and white jeans outfit

You may read this outfit combination and immediately want to scroll on by. Well I’m here to tell you that you don’t need to be scared of a crop top! They are everywhere right now and I think everyone can make them work. You don’t have to show midriff with a crop top if you don’t want to. The crop trop trend is more about the proportions than actually showing a lot of skin. Pair the shorter top with a high waisted bottom and you still get the trend without baring much.

For a cute spring date outfit idea style a crop top with denim. It is classic and always cute for spring summer. I love this look for a more casual date, even a day date. It would be cute for a casual dinner, brunch or daytime activities. When it gets too hot for jeans you can switch out the outfit for denim shorts.

Shorts & Blazer

Cute Date Night Outfits for Spring & Summer

Blazers are a great piece when you need a spring date night outfit idea. If you are worried they are too heavy, focus on blazers made of light spring fabrics. Linen and light cotton are great options. Blazers also don’t have to be in the traditional “business” colors like black and blue or even in neutral colors. I have a light pink blazer and it is the one I wear the most.

For a spring or summer date, style your blazers with shorts. You can juxtapose the dress blazer with casual denim for a more casual date night. A casual dinner or even a date during the day would be so cute for a date. Change up the material of the shorts to dress up the look. Matching sets are also a really big trend for Spring Summer!

In regards to what to wear under a blazer, you can have a lot of fun with it. For casual looks, a graphic tee or basic blouse look really cute. You can mix it up with contrasting colors or prints. Style a neutral blazer with a brightly colored t-shirt or vice versa. For a more sexy or flirty look, a little cami or even a lacey bra can be really cute. The top kind of peek a boos under the blazer so you are still covered.

Strapless/Off the Shoulder Top & Trousers

Off the Shoulder Top & Trousers cute spring date night outfit

Trousers have come back in the past year as a big trend. They aren’t just for the office, they are definitely chic enough for a night out. While they come in all shapes, I especially love the wide leg cut. They feel more effortless and are comfortable for the summer weather.

For a date night outfit, pair trousers with a strapless or off the shoulder top. The bit of skin shown takes the trousers out of the office and into evening. To find balance in the outfit make sure either the top or bottom are fitted. For example pair wide leg trousers with a fitted top and a heeled sandal. You’ll feel comfortable and a little sexy. What I love about this Spring date outfit idea is that there are ton of combinations!

Colored Slip Dress & Flat Sandals

Colored Slip Dress & Flat Sandals outfit

Slip dresses aren’t something you may immediately think about when you think Spring & Summer style. But in the right fabric and colors they are great for the warm months. Think light fabrics and bright or pastel colors. Slip dresses are great because they are flattering on everyone! They are fitted but not tight and help give an hourglass figure. They make a great date night outfit because they are effortlessly sexy and such a great item for date night.

Whether you like maxi, midi or mini skirt length a slip dress is great for an evening date. Whether it’s a nice patio or restaurant its a cute spring and summer look. While you can definitely pair it with heeled sandal (see here) I like them with flat sandals. It gives a bit more of a casual, cool vibe. Keep the look simple with some statement earrings and you’re done!

“But I come back stronger than a 90’s trend”, Taylor Swift in Willow. While she meant it to show her own strength but 90’s trends have really made it back and they aren’t going away. While some of them I can do without, low rise jeans for example, but some of the others have been fun to try again. Oversized shirts are a trend I’m really loving. My favorite trends are ones that integrate into your wardrobe easily and refresh it. In this post, I am sharing tips and outfit ideas on how to style an oversized shirt.

How to Style an Oversized Shirt

How to Style an Oversized Shirt

Play with Proportions

Proportions are important for any outfit but really provide the balance needed when wearing something oversized. When creating an outfit find an item to style with the oversized shirt that is fitted. The contrast not only provides interest but helps to be more flattering. Oversized items paired together can overwhelm your body and add bulk where you may not want it. But when you add a slim bottom with the oversized shirt, it creates balance! Another way to contrast the oversized shirt is to wear it open with a form-fitting top. This will show your shape.

Add in Contrasting Pieces

The oversized shirt I’ve been wearing the most is a collared button-down. I think it has the most versatility. Even when it is in oversized form, it still has preppy vibes. By styling it with items that are in a different style, like athleisure or even sequins, an outfit has a lot more interest. If you are wearing more of a t-shirt-style shirt, think about leather or preppy pieces to add. Whatever style of oversized shirt, find a way to add something a little unexpected with it!

Style as a Jacket

Just because it is a shirt, doesn’t mean you have to style as one! In the Spring especially when temperatures vary throughout the day, light layers are a must! An oversized button-down can be the perfect light top layer. Style it like you would a jean jacket over tops, dresses and even with shorts.

Add Polish

Oversized items need some polish to pull the outfit together. Polished pieces are another way to create balance and interest in an outfit. Polish can come from an accessory or another piece of clothing you put with it. Beautiful gold jewelry adds polish, like necklaces, bracelets or even a watch. Shoes are a great way to add polish. A sleek pair of boots or flats can look polished and so can a pointy toe heel. A really structured, dark pair of denim can even have polish.

Oversized Shirt Outfit Ideas

Oversized Shirt and Biker Shorts

Quick, easy and a little bit 80’s! This is the best spring weekend outfit for running errands or a casual brunch. It’s comfortable while still having a lot of styles. I wear a version of this at least a couple of times a month in the Spring. You can change it up by wearing the button-down open over a t-shirt.

If you don’t have any biker shorts yet, these Spanx ones are the only ones you need. They have just the right amount of compression to be flattering yet still comfortable!

Oversized Shirt and Crop Top

Crop tops are back as a big trend but one that can seem a bit intimidating to wear. Some crop tops show off a lot of skin and others just a sliver. If you want to try out the trend but not show a lot of skin, an oversized shirt is perfect! Layer it over to cover you up a bit but still shows off the crop top.

Finish off the outfit with jeans and polished accessories. A simple heeled sandal elevates the outfit and elongates your leg. I have a post here on comfortable ones!

Style as a Coverup
Oversized Shirt as a cover up

I struggle to find cute cover ups that aren’t super expensive. I’ve learned an oversized shirt like a button-down is one of the best ones I’ve found. It also can take you from the pool or beach to lunch so easily. They make you look put together but are super comfortable and easy to pack and wear.

On it’s own an oversized button-down is all you need. A white one will work with any swimsuit or you can have fun with a pretty color or print. If you want more coverage to add your favorite jean shorts!

Oversized Shirt with Tailored Shorts
Summer outfit inspiration

For the Summer it is key to know how to style an oversized shirt with shorts. I like the mix of styles in an outfit when you pair tailored shorts with an oversized t-shirt. It keeps the outfit a little more casual but still polished. Tucking the shirt into shorts keeps the fun volume at the top but won’t overwhelm your frame.

The tailored shorts and shirt are the perfect blank slate for some great accessories! You can really go crazy if you want and add a statement piece or two. I love to treat headbands as a piece of jewelry and to wear fun printed ones. They aren’t just good for covering up a bad hair day.

A really great heel can elevate any look. They not only add style to any outfit but can make your legs appear longer. As the weather heats up I like to transition from pumps to heeled sandals (see other Spring transition tips here). They make any outfit feel more warm-weather appropriate and there are so many styles to choose from. While heeled sandals are one of my favorite shoes, it is important to find the right pair. An uncomfortable or ill-fitting pair can leave your feet swollen and cause lots of pain. You may think that you should just choose lower heel height to be more comfortable but that is not always the case! In this post, I am sharing some of the most comfortable heeled sandals of the season, what makes them so comfy, and how to style them.

Comfortable Heeled Sandals

Loeffler Randal Penny Pleated Bow Sandal

Comfortable Heeled Sandals for Spring & Summer - Loeffler Randal Penny Pleated Bow Sandal

The Penny sandals are my must have heeled sandals for Spring and Summer! I have loved them for a few years but just this season decided to purchase them. Get ready to see them in a lot of outfit posts and pics for the next few seasons!

While they are a 3.5 inch heel, they are very comfortable! The round block heel is supportive and stable and the strap supports your foot but doesn’t dig in and I can wear them all day. What I really love is the gold lame pleated fabric. It has a pretty texture and shine. While the gold color makes a statement, it can be treated as neutral. These heeled sandals go with so many Spring and Summer looks: jeans, shorts, linen, dress pants, dresses and skirts. Now that I have them I think they are even more versatile.

If you need a shorter heel, Loeffler Randal has the same look at 4 different options. Below are the different height options and different colors!

Vince Camuto Semtera Woven-Strap Sandal

Vince Camuto Semtera Woven-Strap Sandal - Comfortable Heeled Sandals

I took me a bit to warm up to a shorter heel. I typically want a 3″ or flats. But once I paired these with jeans and slacks, I realized a shorter heel height can be chic too. What’s even better is that it is easy to wear them all day. While they come in several colors, I think everyone needs a comfortable black sandal in their closet.

These heels look best with straight-leg or skinny pants and jeans that hit at the ankle. They show off the shoe and keep the outfit proportionate. They are great summer shoe if you have a business casual dress code. They’ll make work slacks feel more seasonal. They also lend themselves to casual looks. I find myself wearing them with jeans and a plain white t-shirt the most.

Sarah Flint Perfect Block Sandal 90

Sarah Flint Perfect Block Sandal 90

If you want to talk about comfortable shoes, Sarah Flint needs to be the top of the conversation. Each style is carefully designed for comfort and style. One style I absolutely love is the Block Sandal. It comes in many heights but I really love the 90. This 3.5 inch sandal is stunning and you’ll honestly have it in your closet for years!

Sarah Flint has so many features that make their shoes comfortable. There is extra padding on the footbed that provides a cushion for your feet. And the arch support follows the natural curve of your arch. The brand uses some of the highest quality leather so its soft and supple. This pair has an inset block heel. So you have the comfort and stability of a block heel without the weight.

This is the only pair of heeled sandals you need for Spring and Summer events. The heels will look gorgeous with all of your summer dresses. Since they are so comfortable they are the perfect shoe for a wedding when you’ll be on your feet and dancing all night.

Sarah Flint Perfect Sandal 100

Sarah Flint Perfect Sandal 100 - Comfortable Heeled Sandals

If stilettos are more your style, Sarah Flint still has a pair for you. Like her other heels, the Perfect Sandal comes in several heel heights but there is just something about the 100 that I can’t stop looking at. The 4 inch heel is just a sexy shoe. They scream date night or fancy evening. I also love a sexy shoe like this juxtaposed to a pair of distressed jeans and a simple top.

Just like they pair above these sandals have extra padding and arch support. The stiletto heel is a steel rod so it is extra secure. No worries about it wobbling or breaking. This pair is durable!

Dolce Vita Paily Slide Sandal

Dolce Vita Paily Slide Sandal - Comfortable Heeled Sandals

Braided straps are a big trend this season. I especially love them on heeled sandals. These Dolce Vita sandals not only hit the trend but are comfortable as well. A block heel is always easier to walk in and more comfortable than others. The chunky straps are fitted without being tight so they will feel comfortable as well.

This is really the do it all heeled sandal. It comes in over a dozen colors so you can pick a neutral or statement color. Honestly, style this with everything! Love this as a heel to pair with shorts for dressy moments or date night etc.

Steve Madden Kenley Sandal

Steve Madden Kenley Sandal

This Kenley heeled sandal is the sexy night-out version of the one above. It is a 4.5 inch heel so it makes a statement. While these probably aren’t the heels you turn to wear them all day. they are comfortable for such a high heel. The padding straps will support and not rub on your feet.

These are the heels you grab when you want to make a statement. Wear them with your nice dresses for weddings or other events. For an evening out with the girls or a date night, I love them with shorts or jeans and a cute blouse. Definitely not a daytime pair but super sexy for nighttime.

Jimmy Choo Amara Embellished Slide Sandal

Jimmy Choo Amara Embellished Slide Sandal

Out of the different designer brands I’ve tried, Jimmy Choo always seems to be the most comfortable! These embellished pearl sandals are stunning and really asking to be the focal point of an outfit. These are sophisticated enough to work for work too! They would look just as cute with your dress slacks as they work with your after-work attire. To really show off the heel, I would suggest wearing them with a pant that isn’t longer than your ankles.

This block heel makes the sandals super wearable and walkable. Thin straps can be one of the biggest contributors to discomfort. To avoid that, a good fit and quality materials are important. Jimmy Choo always uses great quality leather which is soft, supple and forms to your foot.

Sam Edelman Yaro Ankle Strap Sandal

Sam Edelman Yaro Ankle Strap Sandal

This pair of heels is the reliable, neutral piece your closet needs. They are beautiful but don’t make a statement. The ankle strap heeled sandal lets the rest of your outfit shine. If you wear them with a dress or skirt, the nude color will make your legs look longer.

While there really isn’t anything these shoes can’t go with, I think they look especially cute with a-line items! The shoes’ simple and neutral heel blend and contrast with pretty a-line skirts and dresses. I also love the height and refinement they bring to a look when I wear something flowy or oversized.

Loeffler Randall Pleated Platform Sandal

Loeffler Randall Pleated Platform Sandal

Platforms are back in a big way! This 90’s and early 2000s trend has come back but with a bit of a modern twist. What is great about platforms is that you get height and lift without feeling like they are as high as they are. This pair in particular, is a 4.5 inch heel but the platform will prevent you from feeling that tall. The footbed is also patted for extra cushion.

These platform heeled sandals are meant to stand out and make a big statement! Like, let them do the talking kind of statement. There are two ways to style them. The first would be to pair with neutral more simple pieces to really let them shine. A little black dress would be taken to the next level with these platforms. Or you can go the complete opposite and style the shoes with something colorful! The key is pieces that are just as rich and saturated as the shoes. Pastels won’t work but a rich beautiful jewel tone in solids or a pattern isn’t too much.

Dolce Vita Noles City Slide Sandal

Dolce Vita Noles City Slide Sandal

It really can be the most simple pieces that are the chicest. With it’s two thin straps this heel has a barely-there look. The block is cylinder-shaped and has embossed leather for a fun little detail. If you like a bit more of a statement, there are a few color options beyond neutral colors.

A barely-there heel is a shoe for many great spring and summer outfits. These heels look great with ankle-length pants but also work with a longer or wider leg. This season-wide leg and “mom” jeans are a really big trend. They can be hard to find the right shoe to pair with but these work well and don’t feel too heavy.

Loeffler Randal Fae Natural Platform Heel

Loeffler Randal Fae Natural Platform Heel

The natural platform heel has dressed-up espadrille vibes. The raffia material is perfect for lots of Spring and Summer outfits. The 1 inch platform makes the 4.5 inch heel easier to walk in. The padded footbed and puffy braided strap also help make the heeled sandal comfortable. The feminine details on the platform heel lend itself to working best with Summer dresses and skirts. To offset the chunkiness of the shoe, I would style them with items that are fitted and not oversized.

Saks Fifth Avenue Leather Knot Mule

Saks Fifth Avenue Leather Knot Mule

It couldn’t be more obvious than these heeled sandals that the 90’s are back in full force! The knotted heel in bright fluorescent colors is everything we love about that decade. The 2.75 inch heel is very walkable and the soft leather is comfortable enough to wear all day.

To keep the look current, I love these bright heels with a more neutral outfit. An easy but chic outfit is to pair them with fitted or straight-leg pants and a pretty blouse. The heels can also work for a business casual environment. Start with dark, dressy denim and then top with a blazer!

Veronica Beard Avita Suede Strappy Sandals

Veronica Beard Avita Suede Strappy Sandals

These Veronica Beard sandals are the perfect version of the strappy sandal trend! They are another pair of sexy heeled sandals. While being neutral they still make quite a statement. As far as comfort goes, these heels have soft straps and a cushioned toe bed. So when you need to wear some sky-high heels, these are it!

These heeled sandals definitely lend themselves to a dressed-up outfit. Dresses, skirts and jumpsuits will all look great with this pair. Like a few other pairs in this post, these heels will look really good with denim as well. The thin heel and sexy straps will offset any wide-leg or straight-leg jeans.

Sam Edelman Marlena Ruched Slingback Sandal

Sam Edelman Marlena Ruched Slingback Sandal

Ruching has made it to our shoes! I love the scrunched straps on this pair and how they make these sandals unique from most that I’ve seen come out this year. The square base of the heel makes them more stable and easier to walk in. It also helps with comfort. While the straps are fitted enough to hold your foot in, they are also really comfortable on your skin.

These heeled sandals will work best with pants that cut at the ankle or above. The back strap will be bulky on any pants that fall on them. The unique details are versatile in that you could make these work for both daytime or night. With a more casual day outfit, they’ll sway more casual. If you pair them with dressier pieces they’ll work perfectly for the night.

I’ve said before in this post that platforms are really back. The trend can really elevate a simple sandal. These platforms give height but they won’t feel like heels at all. The foam core gives a bit of cushion for comfort. The thick ankle strap is soft and comfortable enough for lots of walking.

I love these espadrilles styled with jean shorts! They can add style to even the most basic Summer outfits!

Spring is on the horizon, I can almost feel it! And before it officially gets here it is that awkward time between seasons. We are all excited to bring out our Spring clothes but it is still a little early to be in full Spring mode. Also the weather doesn’t seem to always cooperate and the temperature can be very unpredictable, some days its warm weather and others its cold weather. So for this post I’ve put my tips and outfit ideas on how to transition your wardrobe from Winter to Spring.

What’s funny is I’m writing this post as Oklahoma gets another week of cold weather! The drop in temperatures has me even more excited for Spring. But right now I can only dream about any of my Spring clothes. Fingers crossed next week has warmer weather and I can start to transition from Winter.

How To Transition Your Wardrobe From Winter To Spring

You don’t need a whole new wardrobe to transition from Winter to Spring. It is all about styling your wardrobe with pieces from both seasons.

Stick to Light Layers

To stay comfortable thru the constant changes in temperature think about lightweight layers! It’s a simple but crucial step to staying comfortable. Think about items that can layer over or under your favorite Spring clothes. This post has some of my favorite layering pieces. Long sleeve t-shirts are one of the best layering pieces. Put them under Spring dresses or short sleeve tops!

Light jackets are also a great layer! They’ll work with so many items but can be easily taken off when the temperatures go up. A denim jacket may be the most versatile piece in a spring wardrobe.

Swap in light wash or white denim

Light or white jeans are one of the best pieces for transition weather. They provide the warmth or coverage needed when it is chilly while looking more Spring worthy. Spring mornings and evenings can be too chilly for bare legs.

This one of the first things I recommend bringing out to transition your wardrobe. When there is even the tiniest sight of Spring weather, I start styling my white jeans with Winter sweaters. I’m still warm but look ready for the Spring months. Light or white denim also works with winter blouses.

Bring in a lighter color palette

Moving beyond denim, adding even touches of lighter spring colors will help transition your outfits to Spring. A light color palette, no matter the fabrics or type of clothing, lends itself to Springtime. If you have lighter colored sweaters and winter tops, focus on them first. Even a light colored pants and sweater in a heavy fabric suddenly looks Spring ready when they are paired together.

Pull out a few Spring pieces in light colors to incorporate too! Layer light colored short sleeve tops under your jackets or with other winter clothing.

Mix and Match Seasonal Pieces

Don’t be afraid to actually style some Winter and Spring pieces together. It is one of the best ways to get the most use out of both of your wardrobes. Sweaters and cardigans work like a jacket over short sleeve tops. You don’t have to put away your leather leggings yet! They can look great with spring tops too!

Boots work so well with Spring dresses! Whether they are booties or even knee high boots, pair them with all of your floral dresses. Leather jackets also work with Spring dresses. I love the mix of hard and soft pieces. Another way to transition a dress is to layer a sweater over it. It then looks like a skirt and sweater combo. This works especially well with slip dresses. Denim shorts look so cute with sweaters, sweatshirts or long sleeve tops.

Winter to Spring Outfit Ideas

Boyfriend Blazer and Denim Shorts

Blazers are the answer to so many outfit dilemmas. They can be worn in place of a jacket and top off almost any outfit. My favorite cut is a boyfriend blazer because they can be worn for almost any occasion. Since they are a bit oversized they aren’t too dressy to wear on the weekend or for more casual moments.

My go-to outfit combination is: boyfriend blazer, graphic shirt and denim. The Graphic t-shirt and denim dress down the blazer. Add slides and a crossbody purse for the perfect Spring weekend look. This outfit formula can be switched arounds so many ways!

Booties and Floral Dress

If there was only ones shoe to weer when transitioning your closet from Winter to Spring, it would be the bootie. They take all Spring items and give them just a touch of Winter vibes. And depending on the heel and height booties can work for day, night, dressy or casual.

Booties with anything floral is my favorite. And Spring is always about the floral dresses! Whether it is mini or maxi, a floral dress looks chic with the leather or suded of the boots.

One of my favorite outfit combinations is soft and hard items. I feel it provides so much interest to an outfit. In this outfit, the soft floral dress mixes well with the leather in the booties and purse.

White Denim and Sweater

White denim is really the unspoken hero of Spring and Summer. And like I said above, they are a great item to pull out as soon as the first hint of Spring comes. Pair them with all of your winter blouses.

This sweater is truly one of my absolute favorite sweaters, I’ve ever owned. In fact, after having the blue one for a year, I had to have the pink one too. It is so soft and has the most flattering shape. What is really nice is that it is think enough that I can wear it into Spring as well.

Sweater over a Slipdress

While they have never gone out of style, slip dresses are really having a moment. Maybe it’s since so many pieces from the 90’s are coming back. Or maybe because they are gorgeous, flattering and very versatile. Not to mention they work on any body type!

To dress down and war up the slip dress, try layering something on top of the dress! For this outfit a beautiful crew neck sweater gives the allusion of a skirt and top. Because slip dresses are fitted, you can get away with an oversized sweater if you want. This combination would also work with a big cardigan worn open. And even flats!

It has been some time since I have posted an outfit post. I just haven’t had the opportunity to take photos or it hasn’t felt right. Recently a friend of mine shot some photos for me and I’m so excited to share what we shot. Since it is that time of year where one day its cold and the next day its warm, it can be difficult to come up with outfits. A sweater dress and boots outfit is my go to formula for transitional dressing. You can change it up many different ways! 

Sweater Dress – Boots (sold out, similar here & here)

I’ve shared my love of sweater dresses many many times (like here and here). They are something that I think pretty much everyone can use in their wardrobe. I stalked this one for awhile and pulled the trigger when it went on sale. And I have to tell you that it is even better in person. The fabric is so so soft. Like you think you are wearing pajamas soft. The tie waist is adjustable so you can really make it work for you. 

I’ve styled this sweater dress many ways but the look I’m sharing is my favorite and a no fail formula for me. It feels so classy with the boots and headband. With this weeks snowy weather it is hard to imagine Spring but when the weather warms up a bit I think this sweater dress would be so cute with sneakers. Great for a casual Friday look or for even running errands on the weekend.

It is always fun to get to borrow clothes from a friend. It’s access to a whole new wardrobe without the commitment or expense. When I am feeling uninspired with my closet, I usually turn to a friend’s closet to help me change things up. One of the best parts is how, many times, I end up trying a style that I don’t normally wear.

A couple week’s ago I borrowed one of my friend’s dresses for a baby shower. The dress was the prettiest fall/winter print. What I love the most is the oversize fit and tiered skirt. I typically am not drawn to that silhouette. This dress manages to balance being oversize but also flattering. I loved wearing it so much that as soon as I got home immediately shopped for similar dresses.
Now that I have discovered a new (to me) silhouette I’ve been loving the many ways you can style these dresses. My go to accessories are booties and a few simple pieces of jewelry. I’m excited to pair these dresses with a jean jacket and tennis shoes for a more casual and laid back style.

1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 7 – 8 – 9 – 10 – 11 – 12
This style is a great way to transition into spring weather. You can easily layer a jacket or cardigan over it to keep you warm now and even wear tall boots with it or tights. I ordered this dress this weekend and can’t wait for it to come in!

What is one of your favorite Spring pieces?

Maybe it is the fact that its been below freezing the past week or maybe because it is March, but I’ve been in full Spring shopping mode. I wear a lot of dark colors and neutrals in the winter but in the Spring I start craving some color. This year I am more into pastels than I have been in the past. I’m loving soft blush, blue and peach.
Statement sleeve have been a big trend lately. The ruching on the sleeves of this wrap top and this blouse are a wonderful detail. Both tops would pair well with a slim fit bottom. White denim and a neutral flat is a great option for casual events like brunch. 
White and camel are always great colors to wear in the spring. Adding a color or print, like these heels, against white creates a pop of interest. 
Snakeskin is typically not a print I think of for Spring, but this skirt screams spring with its green color scheme. 
What are you looking forward to wearing and buying for Spring?

I love shopping for dresses. But when one of your best friends, since birth, is getting married you need something really special! The wedding was in New Orleans and was truly one of the prettiest, most fun weddings I’ve ever been to! Not to mention seeing a best friend get married gives me all the feels. I know I have a great time when I don’t remember to take many pictures! It’s bad for a blog post but a great night of memories.
 
Finding a dress for a March wedding can sometimes be difficult. Depending on the location it may feel like spring or winter. And even if the weather is Spring like, I’m not quite ready for all out pastels! I’ve always been a fan of Self Portrait and their dresses have are especially stunning. But I’ve never had a reason to purchase one until now. This green lace midi dress was something I couldn’t turn down. It may be my favorite dress I’ve ever owned. The combination of the cinched in waist and tiers of lace, create a hourglass figure. Not to mention the green color is so rich and gorgeous! I love that this color will work for any season. Self portrait dresses are a bit of a splurge, but their attention to detail make them worth the price tag. 
 
The dress truly speaks for itself and I already know of a few more events I can’t wait to wear this dress to!

Although I seem to have weddings on my calendar year round, the Spring and early Summer always seem to be the busy wedding season! This time of year I like to get a new dress (or two) to add to my collection so I’m ready for the upcoming weddings and parties. One of my best friends since childhood is getting married in a few weeks in New Orleans so I’ve been in search of a great dress to wear to the wedding. This big event calls for something really special. As I’ve been looking I have saved some of my favorites and wanted to share some of the great dresses I’ve found!

Spring is only a couple weeks away but I’m already itching to find some new Spring pieces for my wardrobe! I’ve always been a big fan of JCrew and feature it on the blog quite often. This Spring collection may be one of my favorites yet!! I seriously want every single piece!
This striped off the shoulder top will be a classic wardrobe piece! For a classic look pair it with white denim and your favorite wedge sandals. This striped skirt is a statement piece! I’d love to wear it with a chambray top and nude sandal. I could also dress it up for a wedding or shower with a silk top.
These sailor pants will be my next purchase for my work wardrobe. The buttons add just a nod of the sailor trend without being too much. Tuck in this red top and add a pointy toe heel to keep the look sophisticated. 
This skirt is so girly! The white and cream color is stunning but it also comes in blue. Dress it up or down, you’ll wear it all Spring and Summer!

It is excruciatintgly hot here in Oklahoma. It is at the point that I don’t want to be outside unless I’m close to a body of water. With these temperatures I’ve been avoiding jeans and pants at all costs.  Honestly my outfit choices lately have been what will have my sweating the least. Glamorous, I know!

Last week I needed an outfit for my best friend’s bridal luncheon. I  wanted something other than a typical dress. I remembered I had these floral pants and knew it was the perfect thing.  I know i just said I’ve been avoiding pants, but these are the exception. Their wide leg silhouette and breezy material make them the exception to the rule! They are so comfortable and kept my cool even when we took group pictures on an outdoor terrace. 

Wide leg pants are definitely back in style and will be here thru the Fall and Winter too. Some of the wide leg styles are close to a flare. Others, like the ones, I’m wearing are the same width throughout the leg. Wearing a heel creates a long line and will make your legs look longer! The key to not letting these styles overwhelm you is to either wear a fitted top or to tuck in the top. This will define your waist and give you a flattering shape! 

 My pants are from last year but I’ve found several great pairs! This pair is the closest to the ones I’m wearing. I also love this pair, this pair and this pair! With the colors on this pair, you can wear them into Fall!

Will you be trying out the wide leg trend?
