We just got back from a weekend in Paso Robles spent wine tasting! It was only a two day getaway and I managed to pack really light. I brought only the pieces above (minus the hat because I forgot it, and the boyfriend denim jacket). I wore everything I packed except for the booties and wanted to share five weekend outfits I made from this mini capsule.

We just got back from a quick little weekend getaway to Palm Desert. I love the desert in the spring, the weather is the absolute best – 80 and sunny during the day and 70 at night. I was so excited to pack for a warm weather getaway and put together a little capsule wardrobe in case you’re looking for inspo for an upcoming vacation.

Happy February! We made it through January, which arguably always feels like the longest month of the year. I don’t know about you, but I am so ready for warmer weather. I know I live in Southern California and can’t really complain too much about a frigid winter, but spring sounds really nice right now. Keeping two toddlers inside when it’s rainy/cold/windy is not an easy job. My hat goes off to everyone who has to do it in colder climates. Anyway, today I’m sharing February’s wardrobe staples.

shacket, pullover, jeans, slides 

I picked out 4 pieces this month that make the perfect neutral outfit. Can you tell I’m really into beige right now? I’ve had these jeans for several months now and continue to wear them regularly. I love that they come in regular and ankle lengths. I have went with the ankle and still cut them to be a little shorter. Plus I love a raw hemline.

I purchased this pullover on sale several weeks ago and could not love it more. I have it in cream, but it comes in tons of other colors too. It’s on sale here and the cream color is fully stocked in all sizes. If you’re after more colors, it’s available on the Free People site as well – it’s just not on sale. I went with my normal size – it’s a little roomy and loose but not long if that makes sense.

You know I’m all about shackets right now… ie shirt + jacket. When I spotted this beige one I added it to my cart so fast. It will literally go with everything. It has a comfy oversized fit (I stuck to my normal size) and it’s not a thick or bulky jacket – perfect to transition to spring.

These slides are another new addition in my current favorite color. I wear my slippers so much inside I was looking for a similar pair I could wear out and about, once it gets warmer of course. These are a great price but run a little small. They’re only available in whole sizes so I went up half a size and they fit perfectly.

2020 was the year that really changed the way I shop. Instead of buying trendy stand out pieces I’ve gone back to basics and curated a wardrobe of staples that I reach for over and over again. I found the holes in my closet and filled them with what I know I need and will wear. A lot of last year was spent in leggings and lounge wear, and this year is starting out the same. I’ve found just by having the right items getting dressed is fun. Which is why I wanted to start this series sharing staples I’ve chosen for the month and plan to style multiple ways.

sweater, jeans

Madewell York Half-Zip Sweater – I recently purchased this sweater and immediately thought about all the ways I’ll wear it. With jeans (of any color really), leggings, joggers, possibly even over a dress? It’s definitely a staple and I know I’ll get my money’s worth with it. This is the blush which I espeically love in winter, but it also comes in gray and an amber/taupe color. Under $100. I sized down to an xxs and it’s flattering and somewhat fitted.

similar beanie, sweatshirt, jacket, leggings, shoes, sunglasses

Amazon Sherling Jacket – One of my girlfriends influenced me into buying this jacket 2 winters ago and it remains one of my best fashion purchases from Amazon. The price is amazing (under $40), it comes in a few other colors too. I have it in a small and it’s slightly oversized but super comfy.

similar bodysuit, joggers, slippers, wine glass

Old Navy Joggers – I was drawn to the deep wine color of these joggers and also loved the subtle overdyed/tie dye look. I dressed them up (somewhat) for NYE but I’ve also worn them casually around the house. They’re the perfect every day jogger – and come in tons of colors. I stuck to my normal size and they fit great.

Everlane Court Sneakers – I received these sneakers back in October and have surprised myself by how much I’ve worn them. If you’re looking for a comfortable pair of everyday sneakers I highly recommend these. This is the off white/fog combo and I love how discrete they are. TTS.

Thank you so much for reading – I hope you have a great day!
