I feel a little like I’m on countdown now that I’ve made it past the halfway point of my spring capsule. Where I felt fulfilled by my winter capsule, I’m finding myself a little frustrated and stuck with my spring capsule. Lifestyle and the weather are definitely playing a role here. One of the things that drove me to revisit capsule wardrobes in the first place was to get a better sense for where my personal style was going. I’d been dressing for cool weather for months at that point; half the work was already done. As strange as this…
I’ve been starting to think that my approach to this capsule was a little conservative. I’d expected that the weather would be somewhat on the milder end of the spectrum, and planned accordingly. When in reality, most days the thermostat has hovered around the 25 deg C mark, feeling more like a prelude to a hot summer’s day than anything else. My original picks were focused considerably around items which would layer well, or at least see me through the cooler days. A third of the way in, I’m beginning to rethink the need for some of those pieces. So,…
I think half the fun of keeping an eye out for each new drop from Sezane is feeding into the fantasy of what I’d buy.

Some of my heavier night creams which I’d use a few times a week are now an absolute no-go. And from a make up perspective, I want to add more *glow* where I can.

Kicking off the week with a download of the first five outfits I’ve worn as part of my Spring 30X30. day one Wearing Everlane blouse; Madewell skinny jeans; Undercontrol studio belt (10% off with “mademoiselle10”); Gucci loafers; The Curated mock croc leather bag; Filippo Loreti jewellery (use “mademoiselle15” for 15% off purchases over $60) If this has been a taste of what to expect for the rest of the month – weather wise – then I’ll have to say I definitely underestimated how warm it would be. I kicked off my spring capsule wardrobe with a simple white blouse and…
