Some of my staples for Spring
Spring isn't quite here yet but it's supposed to be 78 today so we are on our way! I don't own much red but This red orange t shirt from Zara is a great fit and really soft. This is my first ever purchase from Zara and believe me I tried. As I've mentioned before I am about 127 pounds and a 32C with broad shoulders and flabby arms. I do not fit in Zara's clothes. I find that their stuff is too boxy and I always find myself always get stuck in one of their tops. It took me what felt like 15 minutes trying to take a top off and it had a zipper and everything. By the end of that ordeal I was sweating and thought I had to be cut out of that blouse. Good thing the kids weren't with me or I wouldn't have tried that long. I also think that their items are too trendy for what I would like to accomplish.
I have been playing with the idea of starting a capsule wardrobe, looking into doing the 333 capsule wardrobe project which is 33 items for three months. I'll be tweaking it to fit my lifestyle and most likely not count accessories including shoes and under garments to my final 33. Or I can do the 37 items instead of 33 for three months, leaning towards the 37 items, again omitting accessories and undergarments to my final items. I've been playing with the idea for a couple of years now but haven't come close to starting it. But now the kids are older and we sort of have a routine so I'm beginning to have a clearer idea of what I'll be wearing.
I think Spring will be a perfect time to start, warmer weather means not having to layer and I love playing with brigther, colorful prints. Even though most wardrobe capsules are neutrals so that you can mix and match your items, I will try to prove that it doesn't have to be bland and colorless. Plus, not shopping for three months could save me some major duckettes. Of course I need to tweak that too. I think I need to ease myself into a capsule wardrobe and if I stop cold turkey and not shop I will just end up buying more at the end of the 3 months so I think I'll only shop at J Crew when there is a % off for accessories or an item that I need to add to my wardrobe. I'm looking at you, striped sailor pants. I visited my local store yesterday which was their last 30% off your total purchase just to find out they don't have them in store yet and today it's only 25% off so I have to wait.
This OOTD are some of my staples for Spring. 1. Nude sandals 2. A colorful t shirt/top 3. Maxi skirt 4. Statement jewelry and number 5 is a little misleading. I haven't used a handbag in so long. I just added this for the picture. I have a diaper bag and I use my Bandolier iPhone case, not pictured, to carry my phone, my credit card and my driver's license. Everything else goes in the diaper bag in the stroller.
Our activities today consists of post office, Costco, Tarder Joe's, Target and hoping to squeeze in a park. I wish I can just go to one store and find everything I need there but sadly that's not the case.
Have a great Monday!
