Hey April, I welcome you with open arms and some new clothes! #praise

In case you need a spring capsule explanation or refresher, here is a new explanation without the rules. All about using your energy towards things that matter in the long run. No more standing in front of your closet hating half of what you own. Sounds refreshing, right?

Here's what I have: 33 items 
- 8 Pairs of Shoes
- 6 Pairs of Pants
- 3 Pairs of Shorts
- 6 Tee Shirts
- 2 Tank Tops
- 4 Long Sleeve Shirts
- 2 Button Downs
- 1 Cardigan
- 1 Vest
* Six of these items are new to my collection. The rest were either pulled out of storage or pulled from my winter capsule.

HERE IT IS:

You know what I always say: "meter sticks make good makeshift closets." 

Here are a few outfits. 

All including my new green vest. Experimenting all the ways to wear it. 

My first Birks ever! This whole outfit is actually pulled from all new clothes, besides the purse.

Because if you didn't know, I love wearing sweatshirts. And I'm not ashamed to wear them with heels. 

I'm bringing bell bottoms back, YEAH!
These were actually purchased a few years ago from The Gap. 
Sorry I didn't iron them, mom. 

There you have it!

Shopping Season!

It's that time again! Shopping time! 

So, I know I didn't post anything about my winter capsule but the consensus was that I LOVED it. I could count the amount of times on ONE hand that I looked in my closet and thought "I don't know what to wear?" That's huge for me.

I went on this capsule adventure to try and gain a better sense of what my style was, but also to gain control over the power style and appearance had in my life. I wanted to cut out the energy and time I would spend trying to pick out an outfit and put it towards something actually life giving. 

This was the second time in 3 months I was inside the walls of TJ maxx. The other time was to get a butter dish...Garrett had a rough time getting me to leave the women's section on the way in...and the way out. Ha. I really did have to cut myself off to going inside any shopping centers because I didn't want to tempt myself. Hopefully that gets easier as I continue this process. But honestly, after a while of no shopping or store emails, I didn't miss shopping anymore. It's quite freeing. 

Now it's spring, and here starts a new shopping season. I have mapped it all out and right now it looks like I already own more than half of my spring capsule. Which is great! Spring is a little tricky because it will still be fairly chilly in the beginning of April, but will already have some scorchers by the end of June. I also have not had a warm weather wardrobe that didn't consist of mostly running shorts and tie dye t-shirts in the last four years because of my time spent at camp.

(Love you, Joy!)

I won't be getting rid of all of these clothes, in hopes that I will be in camp life again someday soon, but it is time to find my spring/summer style. 

Can't wait to be done with the finished product and show you all! Cheers! 

Happy shopping!
