My spring color pallet seems to be heavy on the greys, whites, blacks, grid, and stripes. I just moved back into my apartment into Chicago yesterday and we're working on a little 'spring cleaning' project, which also includes for me the third purge of my wardrobe, in which about 2/3rds of my closet was packed away into boxes ready for donation. Living out of my suitcase for 2.5 months while in Morocco made me really realize how little I am attached to most of my wardrobe, which is rather refreshing. I feel like I can breathe again when looking at my closet and getting dressed in the morning (...or late afternoon by the time I've been getting out of bed as of recent)! Not that I'm losing my usual "unicorn throwup" pattern clashing madness that is my usual look, but more that I feel simple colors and unique cuts as rather refreshing and something I would like to incorporate more in my life.
Also I am in love with the jeans in the first look. I feel like a DIY is in the works...

I think spring is a particularly lovely time for a wardrobe minimalization as it's a great way to de-clutter and work on refreshing your life and your habits.
Classes start tomorrow, eep! I better start catching up on sleep now...

I love these looks and agree! It is so liberating to detach from material things and realize you don't need as much to feel and look amazing.
ReplyDeletei'm loving the second all black with simple gold accents outfit...something i would definitely wear. it's refreshing to see someone is blogging about spring looks that do not include pastels. i definitely prefer there ultra-wearable and crisp basics for spring.

I went wild with neutrals this winter, but this morning I wanted to wear something bright and cheery and realized I don't have anything remotely spring-y to wear! :( I should have predicted my seasonal wants better, so I'll have to work in some fun accessories.
ReplyDeleteReally love this post! Love the outfits!

Love the all grey outfit! I love the idea of minimalist, and I've been in plenty of situations where I'm living with three outfits and I'm fine with it. But I just love my crazy prints and colors--I am trying to get rid of some, but I'm so attached!
ReplyDeleteI know! Ugh such a great shape for such a great color!
ReplyDeletePreach, sister!
ReplyDeleteThank you Claudia! xx
ReplyDeleteyes--those little gold details are so on-point! And ah, thank you! I totally agree, Naomi! crisp cuts and basic pieces with a darker pallet is just the spring refreshment that I am craving! Glad we're on the same page ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha I think I went in the opposite direction--I was layering the patterns and prints in winter and now I've sort of calmed down and "neutralized" my spring wardrobe--it's so clean and fresh! But I suppose if you're looking to liven up your winter looks for spring bright and bold accessories are a great idea!

ReplyDeleteHaha the wild prints and patterns definitely always have a place very close to my heart but I think after a winter of layering prints, my 'spring clean' is taking it down a notch so my clothes can breathe a bit in the nicer (ish) weather!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing the result of that DIY jeans project:)
ReplyDeleteLovely minimalist inspiration!
