It is starting to feel like spring! This is the time add some beautiful color to your closet, and a small, fun-sized handbag to your wardrobe. Spring is all about color, smaller handbags, and enjoying 2022!
The easiest way to add some color to your spring wardrobe is with an inexpensive tee, or a statement making blazer. You can also go with a nail polish if you live somewhere cold where a tee or blazer isn’t possible just yet. I love these two nail colors for spring from Dior and Chanel. They are happy and fun. Love!
If you can only add one thing to your wardrobe this season, I highly recommend making it a blazer. The power suit is spring’s hottest trend, and a blazer can go dressy or casual. It really finishes an outfit and makes casual jeans look put together. Love that!
Smaller handbags are easy to carry, as long as you don’t go too small. I love these three bags featured in this week’s BAF IT list. They are no fuss handbags which hold just we all need on a daily basis.

Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for more spring coverage!
Spring feels different this year. Perhaps it is because we are moving away from the pandemic, dropping the mask mandate, and enjoying the scent of spring. Aren’t the cherry blossoms beautiful? Also, the pear trees; despite the allergy inducing pollen they create, those white blossoms are so pretty! I am so happy spring 2022 is here! Yay!
Since spring has sprung, and the blossoms are everywhere, it is time to talk about my spring 2022 capsule wardrobe! I have two capsules this spring season, one casual capsule wardrobe, and one power suit capsule. Normally my capsule wardrobe builds on itself from season to season, but I am down forty pounds since last April, so I was forced to replace most of my wardrobe, and this means my clothing capsule is mostly new. While all that shopping is fun, the point of a capsule is to build on one’s wardrobe each season without buying all-new; but this season I had no choice. Moving forward, these pieces will be built on each season since I am stable in my weight now and will maintain my current size.
For the spring 2022 season, my capsule wardrobe consists of classic boyfriend jeans, colored jeans (because this is a huge trend), and brightly colored tee’s. Color is in! I love the cheerful look these pieces bring to my closet. I love mixing and matching these pieces together for a cheery spring look. The only mix and match I am not doing is the yellow tee with the beige jeans, I don’t like that look. The beige jeans look fabulous with green, neutrals, and pink. Love!
I am sure you have heard; the power suit is back. The power suit is perfect for a capsule wardrobe since it can be broken up into so many different outfits! I decided to invest in one classic black suit, and one trendy blue suit. These pieces can be mixed and matched into four different suit combinations. Plus, the blazers can be paired with jeans and shorts later in the season. This green top is perfect for adding some spice to a suit. It can also be worn with trousers or jeans for a going-out-at-night look. It’s a great evening top to keep as part of a spring and summer capsule wardrobe.
You cannot go wrong with layering tees. These black and white tees’ fit nicely underneath the blazers, and don’t add bulk or warmth. That is perfect for warm spring days. One huge trend with power suits right now is to wear a cropped top underneath the blazer. While this looks fabulous on some people, it isn’t really my style, so I am sticking to layering tee’s.
The look for jewelry right now is simple and understated, which means a blank neckline. Since I wore power suits back in the day, a blank neckline is weird to me. I have the urge to pair my blazers with vintage neckerchiefs from the 1990s, so stay tuned to see how that plays out. Since I wore suits all the time to work in the 1990s, I also have the urge to pair blazers with necklaces, but that isn’t a thing right now. Think simple and chic. Let the brightly colored blazer do the statement-making. Let’s see if I can do this without a scarf or necklace. haha

Are you excited for the return of color? Also, the return of the power suit? I know I am!
Stay tuned for my shoe and handbag spring capsules next week!
Spring is in the air! The power suit is huge this year, and the power suit in bright colors such as orange, yellow, green, and blue is the hottest look to hit the streets. Personally, I love the look in blue! This bright blue blazer can be worn with matching pants, or paired with jeans, black pants, or another bright color of pant. Love that!
Spring 2022 is all about color, and so is fall 2022. This means investing in the colors you love which can carry you through the entire year. Especially if you buy a power suit! I’m excited to mix and match my blue power suit into multiple looks. You will love doing it too if you decide to invest in one. Which color would you choose?
Small handbags are also hot for spring. This convertible one from Coach is still popular and it converts from a shoulder bag to a cross body bag. Love that!
Flats are making a comeback. This season, look for square toe flats and pointed toe slingback flats. You will also see slingbacks in heels. The slingback is back! Slides are also still hot for spring. Look for bright colors or go neutral like me. You cannot go wrong with flat or heeled slides. Love!
