Somewhere along the way we all decided jeans were off limits once the temperature hit 80.
I’m here to tell you that’s simply not true.

The right fit, fabric, and cut changes everything.

Cropped jeans that show off your summer sandals.
A viral pair that feels like sweats.
A barrel leg that makes your waist look smaller.
Wide leg with a floor-grazing hem that gives you legs for days.

Summer denim is not only possible... it might just be your new favorite thing to wear.

No occasion needed.

We've all talked ourselves out of wearing something beautiful because the moment didn't feel "special enough". But waiting for the right occasion is how gorgeous pieces sit in your closet with the tags still on.

Wear the cape to dinner. Wear the gown to a summer party. Wear the gorge sandals on a Tuesday. Life IS the occasion.

Everything featured in this video is from @nordstrom because they just get special.

#LTKOver40

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.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40

Too young.
Too short.
Too much.

The style rules nobody wrote down but somehow everybody follows.

Turns out they were right.

At 51, I’ve finally figured it out...

I’m proud to be overdressed, too bold, too alive.

Too me.

And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Send this to the friend who needs to hear it.

Zimmermann broderie anglaise is in a category of its own!

This cream cape with its intricate cutwork floral embroidery, mock neck, and dramatic wide sleeves is a statement piece that somehow still feels wearable; styled here over straight leg jeans with a tan leather belt to ground it. The craftsmanship up close is genuinely breathtaking.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKgrwm #LTKOver40

Navy chiffon in natural light is something else entirely!

This Staud gown with its sheer overlay, choker neckline, and handkerchief hem is a summer evening dress that earns every compliment. The sheer layer over the slip gives it that ethereal quality that photographs beautifully outdoors. Pearl drop earrings and nude sandals keep the focus exactly where it belongs; on the dress.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKgrwm #LTKOver40

When a dress moves like this one does, you know it's something special!

This Staud navy chiffon gown has a sheer choker overlay, slip dress construction underneath, and a handkerchief hem that creates the most beautiful movement. It's dramatic without being over the top; the kind of dress that makes a room stop.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKgrwm #LTKOver40

Farm Rio does something nobody else does; they make bold floral embroidery feel completely wearable!

This navy blue and white cotton matching set with white floral embroidery throughout is structured, feminine, and polished enough for a special occasion but easy enough for a summer dinner out. The fit is fitted through the bodice with a beautiful full midi skirt that moves beautifully.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKgrwm #LTKOver40

If you've been looking for your white summer dress, this Temptation Positano white eyelet cotton dress is it!

The cotton eyelet fabric is lightweight and breathable, the scalloped hem adds that extra detail that makes it feel special, and the length is universally flattering. Styled with Schutz sandals to keep it clean and elongating.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKgrwm #LTKOver40

A white eyelet maxi dress is one of those pieces that looks like you put in effort when you really just put it on.

This Temptation Positano version has deep V neckline detailing, intricate eyelet paneling throughout, and a length that elongates everything beautifully. A summer dress worth owning!

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKgrwm #LTKOver40

A great matching set is one of the easiest style wins out there!

This blue and white striped knit set gives you a complete look in two pieces, no styling stress, no guessing. The Loeffler Randall raffia tote adds just the right amount of summer texture.

#LTKgrwm #LTKootd #LTKOver40

The bubble hem on this SIMKHAI dress is the detail that makes the whole thing work.

It adds volume exactly where you want it — at the hem, not the hip; and the halter neckline keeps the top half clean and structured. A white dress that actually flatters rather than just fitting.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKgrwm #LTKOver40

Cotton poplin in summer is everything; it's lightweight, it presses beautifully, and it holds its shape all day.

This SIMKHAI white cotton poplin bubble dress with halter neckline and the Lack of Color boater hat is the outfit you reach for when you want to look completely put together without trying.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKgrwm #LTKOver40

A short length we can all get behind.

#LTKootd #LTKOver40

Tonal dressing is one of my favorite trends for summer. I love mixing it up with contrasting stripes.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal

You don’t need a new outfit for the Fourth. It’s already in your closet.

White maxi. Matching set. Denim shorts and a red or white top.

~Erin xo

Beautiful matching set. 💙

#LTKOver40 #LTKSeasonal

The Lack of Color boater hat is one of those accessories that does all the heavy lifting.

Wide brim, structured crown, natural straw; it photographs beautifully and actually protects your skin. Paired here with the SIMKHAI white halter bubble dress and Loeffler Randall striped raffia tote for a cohesive summer look.

#LTKgrwm #LTKootd #LTKOver40

White eyelet and a strappy sandal, it doesn't get more summer than this!

The Temptation Positano white eyelet dress has the most beautiful scalloped hem detail and a deep V neckline that feels feminine without being fussy. Schutz sandals are the perfect finishing touch; minimal, polished, and incredibly comfortable.

#LTKgrwm #LTKootd #LTKOver40

A bubble hem dress works because the volume lands at the hem, not the hip!

This SIMKHAI white halter version has a clean structured top and a gathered bubble hem that creates the most flattering silhouette. Lack of Color wide brim boater, Loeffler Randall striped tote, and Schutz sandals complete the look.

#LTKgrwm #LTKootd #LTKOver40

Stripe on stripe is a styling move that always lands!

The set and the Loeffler Randall raffia tote share the same navy and white color story, which makes it feel curated rather than accidental. Soft knit construction, relaxed proportions, and comfortable enough to wear all day.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKgrwm #LTKOver40

A statement top changes everything about an outfit!

This Zimmermann cream broderie anglaise cape does exactly that — intricate floral cutwork, dramatic wide sleeves, mock neck; paired with nothing more than straight leg jeans and a tan leather belt. The top is the outfit. Everything else just gets out of the way.

#LTKgrwm #LTKootd #LTKOver40

If you're looking for your summer dress, this is it!

#LTKgrwm #LTKootd #LTKOver40

Red gingham, distressed denim cutoffs, white sunglasses; this combo never gets old!

The Le Bop ruched front top is the piece that elevates it from basic to intentional. Great length, great fit, and that Loeffler Randall striped raffia tote pulls the whole color story together.

#LTKgrwm #LTKootd #LTKOver40

This is the outfit you pack when you want to look great without overthinking it!

SIMKHAI white bubble dress with halter neckline, Lack of Color wide brim boater, Loeffler Randall navy stripe raffia tote. Clean white with a pop of navy; it's a color story that always works for summer.

#LTKgrwm #LTKootd #LTKOver40

A nude strappy sandal is the one shoe that goes with everything; and this Dolce Vita version with the gold ball detail at the toe is the elevated version worth having in your closet.

Square toe, thin ankle strap, minimal hardware. It elongates the leg and disappears into any outfit without competing.

#LTKgrwm #LTKootd #LTKOver40

When a matching set fits this well, you wear it on repeat!

La Ligne navy stripe shorts and sweater set styled with Veronica Beard sandals and the Loeffler Randall striped raffia tote; the navy stripe on the set and the tote create a cohesive color story without being matchy-matchy. That's the sweet spot.

#LTKgrwm #LTKootd #LTKOver40

A criss cross halter top is one of the most flattering necklines there is; it draws the eye to the center, elongates the neck, and creates a beautiful shoulder line.

This Ramy Brook ivory version is sleek and structured, not flimsy. Styled here with straight leg jeans and a tan leather belt for a polished casual look that works for so many occasions!

#LTKgrwm #LTKootd #LTKOver40

This is the dress you wear when you want to feel like the best version of yourself!

The Staud navy chiffon gown with its sheer choker overlay and handkerchief hem catches every bit of light and moves beautifully with every step. Pearl drop earrings, nude strappy sandals; nothing competing, everything working together.

#LTKgrwm #LTKootd #LTKOver40

Golden hour light and a Zimmermann broderie cape; this combination was made for each other.

The intricate cutwork detail in this cream cape catches light in the most beautiful way. Wide cape sleeves, mock neck, cropped length that sits perfectly over high waist denim. This is what investing in a statement piece looks like!

#LTKgrwm #LTKootd #LTKOver40

The ruched front on this Le Bop gingham top is a styling trick built right into the piece; it pulls fabric to center and creates waist definition without any effort.

Paired with Moussy Vintage distressed denim cutoffs and Schutz sandals for a summer casual look that feels genuinely polished!

#LTKgrwm #LTKootd #LTKOver40

La Ligne does stripes better than anyone!

This matching shorts and sweater set has that perfect Breton stripe energy; classic navy and white, relaxed fit, elevated enough to wear anywhere. Veronica Beard sandals, Loeffler Randall striped raffia tote, and a Brinker & Eliza necklace make it a complete look.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKgrwm #LTKOver40

White eyelet as a set is such a smart summer buy.

The FRAME cotton eyelet button down and skirt give you two pieces that work together and separately; double the outfits, half the effort. Styled with the Loeffler Randall striped raffia tote and a Brinker & Eliza necklace for just the right amount of polish.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKgrwm #LTKOver40

White eyelet is having a major moment and this Temptation Positano midi dress is exactly why.

The scalloped hem, deep V neckline, and tiered cotton eyelet construction give it texture and movement that photographs beautifully. A true vacation dress that works just as well for a summer dinner at home.
