Outfits: Spring, spring outfits

stripes + clogs…AGAIN!

PSA: Later this week, I’m sharing my entire spring capsule wardrobe.

Capsule #2 // Outfit 17

Well, just look at me. Apparently, I’m on a stripe streak!

So, one of the reasons I love this outfit so much is because it’s so versatile. I’d be comfy running errands in this, but with a quick switch of a bag to a more polished clutch, I’d be ready for a casual happy hour.

My favorite color combo in the WORLD is cognac + blue jean blue + white. I just feel like me in that combo, you know? It took me a while to realize this. I would pick up magazines and they would give me 20 great reasons to wear bright colors and crazy patterns…and I’d try it…but I always felt self-conscious. It’s no fun to feel self-conscious simply because of something you’re wearing. Or, let me rephrase that, it’s no fun to let an article of clothing have that much power over you. So one day, I told myself, “Just take it off.” So I took it off. I let it go, and replaced it with neutrals and simple pieces I loved. My wardrobe is almost anti color. But I love it!

All this to say, if you love something, grab onto it and don’t apologize. Stick to what makes you feel like you. You don’t have to explain yourself. :)

Top: Gap

Necklace: Anthropologie (similar)

Bangles: Madewell

Jeans: Gap

Shoes: American Eagle

Bag: ONA

    I am so anti color! I have one colored top in my wardrobe and it’s a red plaid top. I love that you are anti color as well, it gives me great inspiration for what my wardrobe could look like!

    I want this top but they don’t have the color anymore! Know of anything similar? I’m obsessed with blue or black and white stripes!

    I have this top in the grey and white stripes and I LOVE it. My husband told me last week he’s sick of it. Lol. (Except I’m kind of crushed, because I really LOVE it.) I’m buying another colour of it next time they have a sale in my inbox.
