Things I've learned from my Winter Capsule: 

There are a number of pieces that I only wore once and wasn't totally happy with. That's okay! It's all about learning your style. 

I also set aside so many pairs of shoes, and there were a few I didn't even wear. I do still have my black strappy heels set aside from my winter capsule in case of dress up occasions (which are few and far between.) 

It's all a learning process! I'm loving the fact that I can be creative and save time by only having a minimal wardrobe. I've also had more compliments on my fashion since switching to this, than I have in years! Pretty neat, aye?!


If you're working on a capsule wardrobe, I'd love to hear from you. What does your style say about you? What are your go to colors? What's in your spring capsule?

03.16.2016 Travel Capsule

It's Travel Day! Normally, I'm scrambling last minute to pack.....overfilling my suitcases until it's bursting at the seams. Not this time! I wanted to share my travel capsule. It's my winter wardrobe capsule (obviously) for a 5 day East Coast trip. I needed a mix of nice and comfortable clothing.

Here are MY selections.



Here is the Travel Capsule I put together for my girls. 
(Note: I have twin girls.....so packing can be craziness!)


I also packed the same way for my son, following the capsule I created for my girls....but gearing it towards a boy. Khaki Pants, T-shirt, Plaid button up, etc. 

I don't think I'd ever want to pack differently again! 

P.S. On a side note, I'm happy to have extra space in my suitcase because I will be picking up a few pieces that will be in my spring capsule from a great designer friend! YAY!

03.14.2016 Spring Fling

Happy Pi Day! Since we got to spring forward this weekend, I thought I'd give you a little spring preview as well. Yay spring sunshine, blooming flowers and a new capsule coming soon!

I've been shopping and finalizing my wardrobe for spring, and am so excited to lighten up and add some new fresh things to my wardrobe. Dealing with this crazy El Nino/Global Warming/Cooling/Who knows what's going on Weather lately has left me slightly strained. I have a number of options, but wearing super warm layers hasn't really been one of them.

Anywho....lots going on over the next couple of weeks. I have a 5 day trip back East coming up (stay tuned for my travel capsule post), I'm finalizing the Spring wardrobe details, and I'll be in a photoshoot Saturday. Blessed x Infinity!

03.01.2016 Casual Chic

Who doesn't love a simple, chic outfit? Today the weather is absolutely beautiful! Unfortunately, that does limit my winter wardrobe (unless I want to sweat like a gorilla in a sauna). Luckily, my office is business casual, so I broke out the dark denim skinnies, paired it with a lightweight white button down and boom! Insta-chic!

Here's another look at my current go-to bag. I have this great cognac oversized purse for most days. If I'm out running around and need something a bit smaller, I also have an over the shoulder black leather purse. Remember.....keep it simple, and everything goes together beautifully!
