Mom Style {Spring Capsule Wardrobe}

I’ve never done a breakdown of all my clothes on the blog before. I’m kind of excited to share!

Just a couple years ago, it would’ve taken a decade to go over everything in my over-packed, overwhelming closet. But for the past few seasons, I’ve been working on defining my style and whittling down the junk. And most importantly I want clothes that work for my life as it is right now.

Sometimes it’s hard to stay realistic about where you are and not buy clothes for where you’re wishing you were, or think you should be. I’m totally the person who can buy a whole new wardrobe for a vacation she’s only dreamed of. So, with some inspiration and soul searching, I’m getting there.

This wardrobe is fitting for my life as a mom. You won’t see any high heels here, although I do have a couple stashed away for that rare night out. These are just my day-to-day-sitting-on-the-floor-then-running-to-a-doctors-appointment-and-stopping-at-the-playground outfits. Because that’s me right now. Not the most exciting thing in the world, but I do take my job as a mom seriously.

This season, as I started to organize, I didn’t count my clothes. And go figure – I ended up with smaller numbers than ever. Around 40 pieces! I never thought this would be possible.

And besides all that, can I just tell you how happy I am that spring is here? Not that we had a cold winter or anything, I was just so ready to switch things up! It feels… nooice,

So let’s do this. Now presenting my spring capsule wardrobe for 2015:

TOPS (16)
structured tunic / long sleeve stripe tee / peasant top / peplum top / white tee / striped tee / raglan sweater / cream cardigan / (2) sleeveless crew* / white button down* / blue boyfriend shirt* / pink eyelet top / coca-cola tee / be kind tee / denim vest

JACKETS (4)
stripe cardigan / denim jacket / army jacket / marled cardigan*

DRESSES (3)
denim dress / sleeveless shirt dress / stripe dress

BOTTOMS (7)
roll up denim shorts / cut-off denim shorts / blue jeans / white jeans / destroyed tomboy jeans / black jeans / unstructured khakis

JUMPSUITS (2)
mechanic jumper / overalls

SHOES (9)
white vans* / tan birkenstocks / tan slides / suede buckle boots / fringe booties / red nikes* / yellow sandals / black birkenstocks / black nikes

If any of these items are old or no longer available, I have linked to something similar at a similar price point.

Starred (*) items are things I bought recently. I spent under $200 this go around (although I do have a few extra bucks set aside for a couple more wants that I just haven’t found yet.) But $200 broken down over 3 months is pretty practical, especially if you look at my spending habits in years past.

So there you have it. I’ll be sharing my outfits in my Friday Confessions so come back and visit for sure, okay?

Oh! And one more time, I have to thank Caroline over at Un-fancy for the inspiration as well as the opportunity to write for her blog last season. It. Was. Awesome. On so many levels. You can read my guest posts here and all about my trip to Austin here.
