Spring has almost sprung, so it is the perfect time to shop our closets for the spring 2025 season. Love this! Shopping without spending money is the best type of retail therapy!

There are a few steps to shopping your closet each season. First, we look at the trends. Which ones do you like? Which ones do you dislike? Second, dive into your closet and see what you already have. Chances are, you already have what you need for the season, minus a few pieces. Third, make a list of what’s missing and then shop for those items. Usually this will equate to under five items unless you have a lot of events this spring. Of course, when it comes to events, check the hang tag you created and see what you can wear again. Then, you can fill in your wardrobe for those events and the season.

So, what’s in and out this spring 2025? Let’s dive in!

The Anonymous Handbag is still hotter than hot. This investment handbag is serving you well since it is high quality and transcends trends. Look for suede, leather, and neutral hues. Spring 2025 is favoring slouchy bucket bags, belted totes and buckets, boxy bags, doctor bags, and east/west satchels.

Jeans. Every season we stress over which denim silhouettes are in, and which ones are out. This season, you can stick with what you wore last year. Pull out your wide leg jeans, boot cut or flare jeans, and your classic cuts. Despite the rumor online that skinny jeans are making a comeback, I have not see it come to fruition. Keep your favorite skinnies stored in the back of your closet for now.

Color is the best way to update your wardrobe without breaking the bank. Pull out shades of mocha, light pink, and pastel hues. Chocolate brown, burgundy and all shades of green, including dark, are relevant this spring season. Store your neon’s and ultra brights. Their moment is over for now.

Continue to keep your logo-wear stored. You should not display logos this spring 2025 season. Just say no.

When it comes to belts, the Gucci logo comeback was fleeting. This year, wear a logoless belt which is classic and understated.

Saving money is in! Overspending on an item is seen as gauche. The biggest flex is getting a lot of bang for your buck. So, stick to high quality brands and designers who are not price gouging you.

When it comes to shoes, stick with street sneakers in light neutrals, Mary Janes are still good, ballet flats, loafers, and classic high heels will round out the ideal spring shoe capsule while temperatures are still mild.

The overall look you want to pull to the front of your closet includes classic pieces, neutral or pastel hues, simple styles which transcend trends, and non-logo items. You should have a lot in your closet already! Love that!

Well, that’s it! Stay tuned for more spring coverage!

Athleisure in 2025

Not every day is a runway. There are days when we just want to be comfortable as we run around town doing errands, meeting friends for coffee and taking walks. This soft sweatsuit is perfect for those days. I love the high-quality fabric, and chic yet casual vibe.

So, if you are looking for something to wear on casual days, or you just want to wear something soft, this is the outfit inspo we all need. Love it!

This would also make a comfortable travel outfit. Love that!

Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for more in the new year!

Fall capsule wardrobe 2024

Sweater season is almost here, and I am here for it! Love! This is my favorite season because fall weather offers some relief from the warm summer temperatures, and we can wear soft and cozy sweaters. I love sweaters!

The fall season will be a casual one for me. So, while I have dresses ready for occasional events, my day-to-day wardrobe will consist of mainly casual clothing. For fall 2024, a good pair of wide leg jeans is a must, as well as a pair of wide leg pants. This pair of black wide leg pants from my summer capsule is lightweight and easy to pair with a tee or sweater on cooler days. Since the fabric is thinner, they will work on warm fall days when the temperatures reach the 80’s.

In addition to sweaters, a good tee is always a must in any season. I love this black tee, which I also own in a slate blue. It is comfortable, slouchy, and washes well. Love that!
