In celebration of NYFW in the Big Apple, I wanted to share some must-have styles straight from the runway. After all, fashion is always a season ahead.  This year I’ve decided to purchase my spring pieces ahead of time so that I can focus on other things.  This will also help me from doing impulse purchases throughout the season.  With that said I thought I’d share these items that I have recently purchased for spring (yes, I have an affinity for stripes so please forgive me!).  Most of these pieces have arrived and are not going anywhere.  There are still a few items that will be trickling in within the next few days.  I’m hoping they will fit (fingers crossed)!  The only item that I’m still hunting for spring is a chiffon floral midi dress.  I think it’s in my head but I’m still lurking on the internet to hunt for it.

This spring capsule collection should last me an entire season if not more.  For the next few months I will be mixing and matching these pieces with what I already have in my closet to create a wide variety of outfits. My hope is that this collection will hit every note from edgy, sophisticated, elegant and of course chic!  I will reveal one outfit at a time once a week over the next few months.  Hopefully this will help you inject some of these styles into your own wardrobe and not put a dent in your wallet!

To kick things off this week, I’m featuring the striped skirt from Chicwish (they run small and shipping takes at least 15 days by the way).  This look was recently featured at Rhea Etc where I shared my opinions about skirts.  I paired this skirt with a striped cashmere sweater.  Some people found this look to be busy but I thought it was quite playful.  There are a myriad of ways in pairing this skirt and I can’t wait to share what to come this spring so stay tuned!

  1. LOVE this capsule, you included so many of my favorite pieces!! I think I have to purchase those 70s MANGO jeans, great find. I think the B&W stripe look is spot on- it is balanced by the classic shoes and simple accessories. Perfection!

  2. You have given me inspiration and hope that my Spring wardrobe can be pulled together, look great and not cost two arms and a leg.
