After months of jeans, sweaters, and booties, figuring out what to wear when the temperatures start rising can feel surprisingly overwhelming. You open your closet, you stare, nothing feels right — and before you know it you’ve spent twenty minutes trying on a zillion things and you’re still not dressed. Sound familiar? It’s a frustrating phase, but you are definitely not alone.

That’s why each season I curate a hand-picked Capsule Wardrobe for you, to make getting dressed simpler. Consider the spring capsule your done-for-you style roadmap, packed with versatile, stylish pieces that mix and match effortlessly.

No more decision fatigue, no more staring into the closet abyss. Just easy, put-together outfits that make you feel great — every single day.

So nice, I bought them twice…or 3x or 4x or 5x or more! These are a few of my tried-and-true closet essentials I own in multiples, wear on repeat, and confidently call absolute must-haves.

Anyone else watching #LoveStory on FX? Like so many others I really admired the effortless style of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. She always looked chic and yet hardly had makeup on, barely touched her hair, didn’t wear jewelry. Her one key accessory was a slim watch and her oval sunglasses. I think the popularity of the show is going to keep this style of sunglasses around for a while.

What do you think of the show and her style?

This slip dress is such a great closet staple. It’s made of silk, so it’s much more breathable than a satin slip dress. It’s under $90 AND it’s washable too—no dry cleaning necessary! This is how I’d style it to wear it during the day. I’m wearing size xs.

This white button down became an instant favorite for me. It’s so flattering, the criss-cross effect in the front feels very modern, and the bubble hem means no fussing with how to tuck it or wear it. TTS. 🙌🏻 🤍

#LTKOver40 #LTKSeasonal

These Scottie jeans are sooo soft—they have just the right amount of stretch, making them ridiculously comfortable to wear all day.

The dark wash with subtle center fading is also a major bonus! It visually slims and elongates your legs. It’s one of those small design details that makes a huge difference. TTS.

I’ll link both this pair (Scottie) and the high-rise version (Gwenna) 😉

This sophisticated vest set doesn’t wrinkle, is super lightweight, and looks extremely polished. Both pieces easily mix and match, and this look can take you everywhere from the airport to sightseeing to dinner to shopping and more.

I love it so much that I own the set in multiple colors. The trousers are also available in multiple inseam lengths. (I won FIVE pairs of these trousers.) 🙌🏻

This is THE set I recommend to all of my friends. 💖 TTS.

This one-piece swimsuit = instant confidence booster. The color-blocking is genius — that white line down the front center makes the body look slimmer and draws the eye up towards your chest and face. The fabric is soft and stretchy, so you will not be pulling or tugging all day.

And — maybe I buried the lead — full bum coverage. Almost a novelty in today’s suits. 😄

Luxe-looking, next-level comfortable, and it just makes you feel good. Which is exactly what a great swimsuit is supposed to do. TTS.

Okay, if you’ve been around here for a while, you’ve definitely seen this STAUD one-piece make an appearance — multiple vacations, multiple times, zero regrets. It’s just solid.

I’m pretty boxy, so I like to find one-pieces that create the illusion of curves.

The side cutouts on this suit definitely make it look like I have more of a waist.

The black-and-white color combo is a classic — that makes finding matching cover-up’s a breeze.

I’ve worn this snorkeling, swimming, and even scuba diving without incident. That kind of confidence? That’s everything when you’re on vacation.

I wore this suit on a week-long river rafting and camping trip in Idaho — kayaking, white water rafting, swimming in current, surrounded by people. And this Free People suit? It understood the assignment.

Never tugged. Never pulled. Never adjusted. It just stayed put.

The white tie-waist and halter neckline are elegant and do a lot of work — creating shape and making your waist look noticeably smaller. That crisscross belt is doing serious heavy lifting.

Throw on some black wide-leg cotton pants, grab your glam sunhat and sunglasses, and you have the perfect sophisticated beach look. It’ll take you everywhere from the Salmon River to someone’s yacht. (I’m available and open to invites. 😉)

One fit note: this one runs a bit snug — which is actually part of why it doesn’t move.

The perfect little black dress 😍🙌 This dress is so easy to dress up or down, layer a jacket over, wear on its own, accessorize with a belt - you name it! Fits TTS, and you’ll be wearing this one on repeat - any time of year!

Note: I do wear a regular bra with this (either black or nude). Occasionally you will see the strap as you do with tanks in general, but the dress does work with a regular bra.

This stunning white dress is one of my all-time favorites... and it’s currently on SALE!

I’ve worn it many times, but my most memorable experience was wearing it to the Vatican City on a family trip to celebrate my 50th birthday. When we were sightseeing I dressed it down with some chic white sneakers and a white jacket, then switched to heels for dinner. It’s soooo special! It would also be a beautiful dress for Easter if you plan to dress up.

PSA: This might be the most flattering swimsuit I’ve ever put on in all of my 51 years of life!!! ✨🌟 It is MAGIC. The way the color-block panels and cinched back work together to create an instantly snatched waist is nothing short of incredible. I cannot recommend this swimsuit enough.

I recommend using their size chart as their sizing is unique. I found it to be very accurate.
