With spring just around the corner, it’s time to change my winter capsule wardrobe to a spring one.
Winter has its beauty, but honestly, I couldn’t be happier when I’m putting away my jumpers, turtleneck and winter jackets.
I love wearing dresses, cute tops and sandals, so the closer the summer is, the better I feel π

COLOUR PALETTE
When I think of spring I always think of pastel colours, and that shows in my spring wardrobe as well.
Where in winter, I prefer more saturated deep colours, in spring I like to change things up and go for softer lighter colours.
I like soft pinks, beiges and light greys, with a base of black, white and denim. But my style wouldn’t be mine if I didn’t also keep some corals and deeper pinks as my accent colours.
It is important to note though, that I don’t consciously decide which colours I want to wear in which season because that can feel limiting or inauthentic.
Instead, I allow myself to pick whatever I want and then I make an observation on which colours I gravitate towards, so it can inform my shopping decision in the future.
MY CHOICES
Here is everything that I picked out for this spring.
I didn’t focus on any specific numbers, but on the overall cohesiveness and versatility of the closet.

MY ADDITIONS & WISHLIST
I already added two things to my wardrobe – I finally found the pink jumper that I’ve been looking for, so I’m really excited about this new addition!
And the other piece is something I found unexpectedly while traveling with my husband. It’s a cute silk pink cami and because I love wearing camis in spring, summer and fall it was a perfect addition to my collection.
As far as any new purchases go, I don’t really have a long wishlist for spring – I just want to find a good white denim jacket and that’s it!

Hi Kim, awesome post! I like the bases, coordinating, & accent colors picture. It’s a great idea to have a palette as a guide when thinking about how to pair clothes. I tend to wear lots of floral in spring & summer π I love nature, flowery designs
Thank you so much! Yes, knowing your colour palette really helps when designing a capsule wardrobe, and it also helps with future purchases π And I love flowery designs too, especially in the summer! Γ°ΕΈΛΕ
