May Capsule Wardrobe: 16 Pieces, 31 Outfits

As I was planning out this post, and selecting items to include, I kept having to remind myself that we were no longer in the middle of spring… and lighter layers were a better option than some of the other items I had on my mind. Since most of March + all of April were spent at home, a part of me feels as if we were seasonally stunted… and should still be in the beginning of spring. But we’re not. We’re in the last month of spring, and for me, the month that holds the holiday that “unofficially” starts summer. So that being said this month’s capsule is filled with light fabrics (open knits, linens, gauze…) and easy pieces that can take you through any day… whether your state has started loosening stay at home orders, or you’re still under the orders for several more weeks.

With the exception of one item (the linen button down tank, which was a purchase I made at the end of March but just received) I’ve shared these items before… I’ve had some for several months, others since last year, and a few for several weeks. If you don’t have the exact items, hopefully there are pieces in your closet that are similar and this guide can provide as a sense of inspiration….

A few notes….

I replaced the Free People Crop I always wear with this UO Best Friend Tee since the Free People one sold out. I’ll still be wearing the Free People crop for all the outfits….

I included jeans for those of you who are ready for something other than sweats… and for those who can head out and about….

As far as accessories go, I think a straw hat is a great option for spring + summer. My two go-to’s for the past several years are the Fawn + Michon styles from Janessa Leone. I also own, and love, this Brixton straw hat + this Lack Of Color Palma Hat…. you can’t go wrong with either of those and they go with any outfit. And for days that are more “off duty” and a straw hat would look ridiculous, I just bought this white baseball cap.

For shoes, I’m still reaching for these Court Sneakers from Everlane (an easy, running around all day, option)…. as well as all my sandals from last season. These are a beautiful option if you love the look of the Hermes Oran Sandals…. pretty much identical.

Annnd, as always, I reach for my go-to gold accessories to dress up any basic outfit… this chain necklace, link bracelet, and this lariat necklace are a few current go-to options.
