Spring Capsule Wardrobe – Day 3
Not only does spring bring florals and bright colors, it also brings flooding to my neck of the woods. As you probably noticed in these photos, the river is super duper high and has completely submerged the little walkway I’m standing near. Don’t worry, though, everyone knows how to deal with the flooding. (It seriously happens every year.) Another fun thing about spring in my area, it can turn back to winter at any given moment. Haha. As I’m typing this, the meteorologist on TV is telling me about a winter storm that is supposed to bring 6-12 inches of snow this afternoon – oh joy!
But anyways, let’s talk about my third installment of my Spring Capsule Wardrobe with thredUP
(which I wore this weekend, when the weather was actually spring-like)! And if you missed my earlier installments from this week, click here & here. (Spring Capsule Wardrobe = essential pieces of clothing that can go with anything for any occasion. Thredup = an awesome, online, second-hand store with crazy affordable prices!)
This cardigan from thredUP seriously goes with everything. And as you’ve probably noticed, I really love this skirt! This is the only midi skirt I own that’s a solid color – so, it’s very easy to mix and match with anything. My husband had actually picked out for me for Christmas 2 years ago. How awesome is his taste?
You also can never go wrong with a pair of nude pumps. They, of course, go with everything…and these are also my favorites in the spring because they balance out any bright colors I might be wearing. Oh, and my favorite part, they prolong me needing to get a pedicure…thanks to the closed toes. Haha. I really don’t enjoy painting my nails/toe nails or having anyone else do it either. But every spring my feet really need some TLC before they can be stuffed in a pair of open-toed shoes. 😉
Another reason to wear my pink cardigan all the time, it matches my shiny new Jon Snow snow cone pin from MightyPop! I think I’ve mentioned that I’m a pretty big Game of Thrones fan, so when I saw this pin in my Instagram feed, I just had to have it. Jon Snow is my favorite (even if he knows nothing), and I thought him being portrayed in snow cone form was clever. My mom did not agree with this, though. Haha. So, Jon Snow in snow cone form may not be for everyone. *Spoiler She also pointed out that he is dead, so why would I want him on a pin? However, I am convinced that he’s coming back this season! Do any other Game of Thrones fans think that, too? Let me know in the comments!
Is anyone else getting hit with a snowstorm today? Or is it just Northeast Wisconsin? Haha. Let me know in the comments too!

I used to be all about closed shoes.. but in the last few years, I really have discovered peep-toes and sandals. Though, I have to be careful while doing my karate.. as sometimes the bruises on my feet are not really flattering. 😛
Love the sweet romantic colours! 🙂

Thank you so much, Natassia! And peep-toes and sandals are super cute, but my feet are not super cute, haha. I was genetically not blessed with cute feet and running does me no favors, haha. I’ll start being nicer to my toes once it gets closer to summer, though! And I know what you mean about the bruises on your feet too…I started taking a mixed martial arts class a couple months ago, and your feet can really take a beating some days!
You look so beautiful in midi style dresses! Your hair cut is also so perfect on you and frames your face so pretty.

Aw, thank you so much, Joanna! 🙂
This is my fave outfit of your spring week so far!!! And yes, Denver got a really random blizzard on Wednesday…like the snow was coming down comically fast haha. But it was balmy out the next day, and now it’s going to snow again. Spring is weird elsewhere, I promise! XO

Thank you so much, Lauren! Haha glad we aren’t they only ones with weird spring weather! 🙂
We got hit today in Southeastern Wisconsin but I can’t think about that unpleasantness! I much prefer Jon Snow (cones) to actual snow.

Oh no, you guys were hit too? I’m a bit tired of the snow…but Jon Snow cone is a much better alternative. Haha!
I love that ice cream bag! It’s too cute.
I think Jon Snow is coming back. Mellisandre is at the Wall. Why else would she be there?
Thank you so much, Jessica! I agree…that’s why Melisandre is still hanging out there. This season can’t start soon enough! 🙂
Im totally crushing on this skirt and love how your cardi does literally go with everything! Man, that river is high behind you! We get bad flooding around my area too, but nothing has happened yet this year. I hope the snow storm you were supposed to get melts quickly. Haha, that pin is too cute and I adore the snow cone reference. I watch Game of Thrones through rentals on Netflix so I’m still waiting for last years season to arrive. Sigh. The struggle is real lol

Thank you so much, Amanda! Haha, and the snowstorm wasn’t quite as bad as they predicted…but we still have way more snow than I would want at this time of year. Haha. Ahh sorry for the last season spoiler! I hope Netflix releases it soon!
THAT JON SNOW(CONE) PIN!! That is seriously the greatest pin I’ve ever seen. And so perfect for you! I love it!
I’m glad the weather held up for you to take these pictures–I love that skirt and agree that your husband did a great job picking it! Hopefully that storm will pass or, at least, not be too harsh! We’re just dealing with a lot of rain in Chicago, blech!
Haha, I’m glad someone else appreciates the cleverness of the Jon Snowcone! Thank you, Devinne! The storm is currently living up to its hype, unfortunately…you have to love Wisconsin springs! Hopefully, you get some clear skies soon too!
This outfit is so delightful! I am surprised at how cheap your bag was, considering similar bags tend to be unnecessarily expensive! Lookin’ good, Lindsey 🙂

Thank you so much, Jen! And I am never spending a crazy amount of money on a bag again…these inexpensive bags are just as cute and just as good of quality. I haven’t stopped using it since it arrived. 🙂
Such a great look and that ice cream cone bag is just too cute! — SC at http://www.samanthachic.com
Thank you so much, Samantha! The ice cream bag is such a steal too – it’s only $7! 🙂
Beautiful outfit! I love that skirt! Your husband has amazing taste. And I don’t watch Game of Thrones, but I think that pin is pretty cool anyway. The weather has been crazy here too. One day it’s 80 the next it’s in the 30’s. I can’t wait until it just stays warm.

Thank you so much, Lili! And I’ll be sure to pass on that compliment to him, too! 😉 Oooh it’s been in the 30s by you too? That’s no fun!
