Summer is officially here. Cue the swimsuits and flip flops and casual everything. Summer seems like an ideal time to implement a capsule wardrobe because everything is a bit more laid back and there are just less clothes to be worn. And who wants to spend time thinking about what to wear when the sun is shining?
My summer closet looks a bit different this year since I am in my third trimester with Baby #4. Luckily, I have some pretty stylish friends who let me borrow some maternity pieces, so I’m not scrambling for something to fit over my ever-expanding belly.
Here is my Summer Maternity Capsule:
1 sweatshirt
1 jean jacket
1 zip up jacket
1 long sleeve top
5 t-shirts: Thank you ‘cool mom’ friends!
1 casual tank top
2 cardigans
1 kimono
3 casual dresses: 2 purchased from Pink Blush and 1 borrowed from a friend
1 ‘dressier’ dress
3 long tank tops
3 pairs of running shorts: Thank you elastic waist.
1 pair of ripped jeans: They make me look way cooler than I am.
1 pair of Spanx maternity leggings
1 pair of cropped leggings
1 swimsuit top and bottom: The top is a Motherhood Maternity tankini and the bottoms are regular bottoms.
2 pairs of slides: Target and Birkenstock
1 pair of tennis shoes: These are only worn when hubby is around to tie them.
Honestly, I find myself wearing running shorts and t-shirts most of the time and dresses when I want to look a bit more put together. Slides have been a necessity and they may be the best money I have spent on something to put on my body this year.
Tell me, are you implementing a capsule wardrobe this summer?
