Hello, springtime in Texas! This season is one of my favorites. It will be a good day if you are outside without sweating in Texas. ☀️ I like to soak up these days because it will be blazing in the summertime, and the AC bill will double! Spring is also the perfect time to wear your favorite warm-weather outfits.

I’ve rounded up the latest EIGHT spring outfits from multiple retailers all in one post today. Whether you’re looking for casual, dressy, or work-appropriate outfits, I have options for everyone.

Spring Capsule Packing List

Spring Capsule Packing List 1516 1120 Tammy Caciola

Spring Capsule Packing List

Another winter has come and gone, and we’re officially gearing up to face the glorious spring and summer days! It also means that we’re digging our spring wardrobes out of storage and swapping our boots for our sandals. The bright colors, lightweight fabrics, and beautiful textures of spring fashion always feel like a reward after a long season of winter wear. With spring and summer come lots of fun trips! That is why I have put together the perfect Spring Capsule Packing List for you.


What Is A Capsule Wardrobe?

The simple definition is that it’s a curated wardrobe made up of versatile pieces you love to wear. Creating your capsule wardrobe should be a testament to your personal style.

A capsule wardrobe consists of a set of tops, bottoms, dresses, outerwear, shoes, and accessories that can be easily mixed and matched together to be dressed up, down, and anywhere in between. It means your closet has less trendy pieces that will only be worn for one season and more high-quality, classic pieces that stand the test of time and can be worn for years. The best part? While it might feel more expensive at the moment, you’ll actually save money in the long run since you won’t be going through so many fast-fashion pieces.

Once you master a starter capsule wardrobe, it can be curated and swapped from season to season. It makes it easy to pack up and take out clothes for the appropriate season because every time you pull them out, they’re just as in style as when you bought them.


How To Build A Spring Capsule

To create a capsule wardrobe, begin by examining your current clothing. Assess each item to determine if it’s an essential piece you want to keep. (More here on how to decide that) Remember to include shoes and accessories when editing your wardrobe.

Then, sort each item into one of four piles:

  1. I love it and will wear it tomorrow: These pieces fit your body and lifestyle, and you’re happy wearing them. Put these back first.
  2. Maybe: These pieces might not fit perfectly, have sentimental value, or you just can’t put your finger on why you don’t wear them more. (If you haven’t reached for it more than once, it belongs in this pile too). Put all of these items in a box and store them in a place that’s easily accessible. If you find yourself reaching for an item, put it back in your closet after; if you haven’t reached for it by the end of the season, keep it in the box to take to donate. This is noncommittal (for now) and allows you to change your mind later.
  3. Hard no: Whether it’s because it doesn’t fit or you just decided you don’t like it, pack these pieces up to donate them.
  4. Seasonal: There’s no need to keep a cashmere sweater next to your summer tank tops. Move all of your seasonal pieces into a storage location that will be easy for you to swap out once the time is right.

Now, look at what’s left in your closet and evaluate what your personal style is and what holes you have. Maybe you’re completely set on jeans, but you could use a new jacket for spring. Now that you have a clear vision of what you’ll be able to pair that jacket with, you’ll make a better selection for what fits your closet. This doesn’t mean you have to entirely forego trend pieces and forever live wearing button-ups and jeans—it just means that when you do purchase trendier pieces, you know that they’ll have a place in your wardrobe and that they’ll get worn.

Spring Capsule Packing Pieces

White Tee

I always bring a couple of white tees because I find myself wearing them frequently. They are perfect to wear by themselves or layer. My go-to white tee is a cropped, boxy silhouette. I love this Varley tee. It is of incredible quality and so soft. A great look-for-less option is this Everlane tee! 

 


White Button Down

A white button-down is a hero piece in any capsule wardrobe. With numerous styling options, it can be worn as a light jacket, tied up over a slip dress, or even as a swimsuit cover-up. Its versatility makes it a staple in the fashion world.

Flattering Jeans

A great pair of jeans are an essential piece to pack for vacation. Opt for a comfortable pair that can be worn casually during the day and dressed up with heels at night.


Long Denim skirt

This is a trendy piece that I have been wearing non-stop. It’s pretty much taken the place of shorts for me. Think about styling this skirt with either a button-down, plain tee or a bodysuit with a sweater tossed over your shoulders. Cute flats or heels work with this look. This one from Mango is my absolute go-to!

Slip Dress

A slip dress is a classic, versatile cut that I always make sure to pack. For a casual look, simply layer it with a cozy sweater or wear a tied-at-the-waist button-up top over it and pair it with sneakers. To dress it up, wear heels and accessorize with your favorite bag. This perfect piece easily adapts to changing temperatures through smart layering.


Cotton Sweater

I love to bring a striped sweater and a color-of-the-moment sweater when I travel. These are great for wearing alone or layering over shirts, jackets, and dresses. See the style hack of how to do that here!

Chambray Shirt 

Combine this timeless button-up shirt with your fresh white pieces for an effortless look. With denim on denim being a popular trend in 2023, this outfit is an excellent way to stay on-trend using your spring capsule wardrobe pieces.

Spring Jacket

Denim is a classic choice when it comes to spring jackets. I love this one when going for a white denim. White denim is incredibly chic and offers versatility in styling options!

Jogger Set

A cozy with a jogger set that can be worn as pieces separately or together is always in my luggage! My personal favorite is the Spanx AirEssentials Jogger and matching crewneck. They feel like you’re wearing a cloud and are of amazing quality.

Here is a post where I review the AirEssentials line. Spoiler Alert: It is incredible!  You can use my Spanx discount code FashionedLifeXSpanx for 10% off plus free shipping and returns!


Pajamas You Love

For me, this is anything, Luyna! The quality and fabric are nothing short of incredible.
They just came out with a new washable silk top and bottom set I love! I grabbed the sky blue color in S.
Discount code herfashionedlife.

Linen Pants

Tis the season of linen, and these are my current favorites! Linen pants are my favorite in the spring and summertime. They are lightweight, breezy, and can be styled in so many ways! I’m wearing a two below, which I exchanged for a 0, and they fit much better and are the perfect length!

Swimsuit Coverup

The older I get, the more important my swimsuit coverup is!! I want it to be chic, luxe-looking, and versatile, so I can also wear it out during the day or night. My go-to is anything The Shoreline.
Discount Cody Tammy15

Going Out Dress

This can be your favorite LBD or LWD.  I always bring this one because not only is it flattering and easy to dress up or down, I literally roll it up in my luggage, and it comes out wrinkle-free!
This beautiful dress is also a favorite piece I always look forward to wearing. The fabric is soft and luxe. Use discount code Herfashionedlife15. 

Shoes

When it comes to shoes, I like to stick to 3 categories. One great pair of sneakers, neutral and comfy heels, in addition to your favorite spring/summer sandals, to finish out your Spring Capsule!

How To Style Linen Pants

How To Style Linen Pants 2048 2048 Tammy Caciola

How To Style Linen Pants

One classic item that is a staple in the summertime is a pair of Linen Pants! Your summer wardrobe should consist of the following: sundresses in breathable fabrics, loose tops, strappy tops, shorts, and your favorite pair of linen pants. Linen pants are light, airy, and a great way to stay cool and comfortable in the summer heat.

Light neutral colors like beige and white are the most popular choices for this type of pant, especially during the summer season. Linen pants can be styled for a day running errands, the office, summer events, and so much more! Check out some of my favorite ways to style down below.


 

Jean Jacket

Linen Pants

Sunglasses // Necklace // Jean Vest // Jean Jacket // Linen Pants // Clutch // Sneakers

A denim jacket with linen pants is a great daytime look that is laid-back and casual, and it also works for cooler summer evenings or air-conditioned indoor spaces. Pair with sneakers for running errands or swap for wedges for a cute daytime look. I also added this denim vest underneath for a chic denim-on-denim look.


Button-Down

Linen Pants

Sunglasses // Button-Down // Crochet Tank // Linen Pants // Sandal // Bag 

If you’re looking for a more put-together look, consider pairing a top with a button-down. This is the perfect outfit for cooler summer evenings or air-conditioned indoor spaces. It’s also an easy way to add a bit of coverage if you’re not comfortable showing your arms.

This crochet top is adorable and pairs perfectly with these linen pants! I styled it with a denim button-down to add a bit of contrast to my look.


Tank Top

Linen Pants

Amazon Tank // Sweater // Necklace // Linen Pant // Belt // YSL Bag // Slingback Heels

A simple, plain tank top is always a good choice to pair with stylish linen trousers. It’s one of the best casual summer outfits that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Plus, it’s an easy way to stay cool and comfortable if you’re going through a heatwave! For this look, I went with a black tank to tie in my belt, purse, and heels!


A Light Sweater

Linen Pants

Sunglasses (similar) // Striped Sweater // White Sweater // Linen Pants // Sneakers // Purse 

A light sweater is a great option for cooler days. I recommend opting for a light-knitted sweater as opposed to thick ones made from synthetic materials, which are intended for winter – you’ll get all hot and sticky instead!

This outfit option is perfect for running errands or a sunset stroll. Add in a straw bag, and you’ve got the ideal chic coastal look.

Express Denim

My Favorite Express Denim Under $100

My Favorite Express Denim Under $100 1125 1197 Tammy Caciola

Express Denim

My Favorite Express Denim Under $100

Whether you are looking for some date night inspo, a chic outfit for a day out with your girls, or are just in the market to update your wardrobe with some fresh denim, this post is for you! Today I’m sharing some of my new jean favorites and how I styled them from Express! These are some of my go-to denim under $100!

I’m all for a dressed-up look when the occasion calls for it, but more often than not, I live for casual looks elevated with trendy pieces, fun accents, and some luxe accessories for a little something special. Express jeans have been a repeat go-to for several years for good reason. I have often raved about their denim for its flattering and trendy styles as well as the movable stretch that makes them an absolute dream to wear.


Look 1.

Express Denim

 

I love the wider-leg trouser style. The ones I’m wearing here are the Low Rise Light Wash Ripped Baggy Straight Jeans. These fit me like a glove and are so flattering! I have them styled with this fun and flirty Surplice Cutout Halter Cami, perfect for summer!


Look 2.

Express Denim

 

Express makes some of the best blouses, and if you follow me on IG, you’ll have heard me talk about them plenty of times before. Their Short Sleeve Button Front Boxy Shirts are sized to perfection, in my opinion, and the material allows them to drape in the most flattering way. I have it paired with the Mid Rise Light Wash Raw Hem 70s Flare Jean. These jeans are form-fitting through the hips and thighs and have an easy flare from the knees down. They are a comfort stretch denim that will keep you comfy all day!


Look 3.

Express Denim

 

I loved the previous look so much that I had to grab both the jeans and the top in black! Black jeans are a great staple. I feel like you can dress them up a bit more than your traditional jean for a chic look but also dress them down for a casual look. You also can’t go wrong with a black blouse. It is so versatile and pairs with virtually everything.


Look 4.

Express Denim

 

These aren’t denim, but I had to squeeze them into this post. These are the Super High Waisted Pleated Ankle Pant. I love the sleek and tailored look with the ankle-length style to show off your shoe candy. It has the perfect fit and flatter cut from the waist down. Tuck in tees, tanks, or blouses for work and everyday style.

There’s no replacement for a good bodysuit. This Skimming One Shoulder O-Ring Thong Bodysuit is a stunning piece. Throw a blazer over top for the office, or keep the sleeves off for a chic day look.

European Vacay Outfit

Day to Night Dressing On A European Vacay

Day to Night Dressing On A European Vacay 457 640 Tammy Caciola

European Vacay Outfit

Day To Night Dressing On A European Vacay

Warmer weather is the perfect time to start thinking about traveling. A European Vacay is the ideal destination year-round, but summer in Europe is especially popular! It is on my list to get there during the summer soon!

Depending on which countries you’re visiting (as Europe is huge and diverse), you’ll run into mild temperatures and HOT days—so, as with most trips, it’s important to pack layers for all occasions. I recommend looking at the weather as much as possible to help make the most of your luggage space!

 


Look 1.

European Vacay

Petal & Pup Dress // Chloe Bag / / Necklace // Earrings // Sunscreen // Schutz Heels // Sam Edelman Sandal

Dresses are perfect to wear in the summer. They’re easy to pack, easy to wear, look great just about anywhere you go, and manage to look pulled together while only requiring one piece of clothing.

Comfy shoes are a staple when planning a Europe vacation. The days can consist of lots of walking, so I made sure to pack comfortable sandals that could style well with multiple outfits. The Sam Edelman Bay sandals are an excellent option for that. Throw a pair of heels in your suitcase, and you’ve got a chic day-to-night look.


Look 2.

European Vacay

Banana Republic Dress // Sunglasses // Necklace // Earrings // Chanel Perfume // Amazon Bag // Anthropologie Heel // Sam Edelman Slide

The Banana Republic dress above is an excellent option for sightseeing, touring museums, or sitting by the water. It has an appropriate cut to match dress codes for certain museums but is still light enough to help cool you in the warmer weather—a must-have for your European Vacay Outfits.

Gold jewelry is a staple of mine. It goes with practically every outfit and can elevate your look. The bag I have above was a staple of mine on my last trip to Paris! It was so easy to throw on and fit all my necessities, plus my camera!


Look 3.

European Vacay

Revolve Dress // Marant Cap // Necklace // Floral Bag // Santal Perfume // Nordstrom Heel // Veja Sneakers

White is a perfect color for summer. The dress above has a flattering cut and will keep you cool on a hot summer day. Having a baseball cap on hand and comfy sneakers is always a good option. They pair nicely with this dress and will keep you comfortable during a day of walking.

Add a pop of color to your outfit by styling a colorful handbag to your outfit. The one above is from Express and looks adorable, styled with neutral outfits.


 

Look 4.

European Vacay

& Other Stories // Hat // Gold Oil // Maracuja Lip // Ganni Bag // Tom Ford Perfume // Anine Bing Sneakers // Dolce Vita Heels

Wanting to stand out with a bright color? The dress above is a perfect option. I styled it with the Ganni Bag and woven raffia strap sandals to match the fabrics. Nothing screams summer more than a beautiful raffia texture.

Accessories and beauty products that make you feel good are always a must. The Miriam Quevedo gold oil above is a luxurious multi-use treatment that renews your hair’s natural glow. This hair oil will restore your hair’s natural strength and smoothness, leaving it more manageable and silky!


 

Look 5.

European Vacay

Spanx Jumpsuit (Use code: FashionedLifeXSpanx) // Ganni Cap // Tula Mineral Sunscreen // Tote // Perfume // Sam Edelman Sandal // Converse

Jumpsuits like the one above can be fun if you want an all-in-one outfit that isn’t quite a dress. This one is perfect for a day on the go. For travel days, I always make sure to have comfy shoes, a good quality tote, and some light sunscreen.

I size up one size in these to a Small reg.

AirEssentials Mock Neck Dress– Spanx’s most loved fabric is now in the perfect mock neck dress. It is functional, silky, and light as air. Wear with sneakers and throw a crewneck over your shoulders for an athleisure look, or dress it up with jewelry and heels.

My Favorite Perfumes

Cardigan // Satin Wide Leg Trousers // Similar Bag // Heels

My Favorite Perfumes

I have always had a thing for beautiful fragrances. There is no better feeling than walking by someone or someplace that smells amazing. It is that lingering scent that makes you want to ask, “what perfume is that?” Smells have the ability to connect to memories. I love to save certain perfumes for date nights, events, or special occasions. That way, when I smell the scent again, it immediately reminds me of the experiences on which I wore it.

Over the years, I have compiled a few special perfumes that I find irresistible—everything from warm and spicy aromas to floral scents. Investing in good perfume has been one of my guilty pleasures for as long as I can remember. There is just something about an enchanting scent that can increase your confidence.

Things To Note When Shopping For Perfume:

  1. Familiarize yourself with fragrance families (floral, fresh, woody, and amber) to know which group you like the most. This will help when shopping online!
  2. Get to know how “notes” work. There are top notes (a scent that is evident as soon as you spritz your first spray), middle notes (a scent that unfolds 10 to 15 minutes after you’ve applied the perfume), and base notes (the heavy notes that are the base layer, allowing the scent to last longer on your skin.

 


My Favorite Perfumes

Perfume 1. Tom Ford Soleil Blanc

Top: Pistachio, Bergamot, Cardamom, Pink Pepper
Middle: Tuberose, Ylang-Ylang, Jasmine
Base: Coconut, Amber, Tonka Bean, Benzoin

Tom Ford Soleil Blanc is an unexpected, sultry and addictive solar floral scent. It evokes remote private islands where summer lasts all year. This is the perfect light summer scent for day or night. This fragrance also comes in a body spray. I love tossing that into my tote bag for trips to the pool or beach. It’s also light and airy, so perfect for spraying on after you get a spray tan!

 


My Favorite Perfumes

Perfume 2. Santal 33

Top: Violet accord, Cardamom
Middle: Iris, Ambrox
Base: Cedarwood, Leather, Sandalwood

A cult classic perfume. It’s rich, woody, and yet feminine all at once. I’ve never met a person that didn’t love this scent! I wear this fragrance year around, day or night. I have a small tube in my purse, car, and gym bag. I also found an at-home misting spray that you can add this fragrance to scent the home; yes, I bought that too! It’s that good.

 


My Favorite Perfumes

Perfume 3. Jo Malone Dark Amber & Ginger Lily

Top: Ginger, Black Cardamom, Pink Pepper
Middle: Jasmine, Orchid, Water lily, Rose
Base: Leather, Sandalwood, Kyara incense, Patchouli, Black amber

There is just something special about a Jo Malone fragrance. I found this one and have been wearing it for about a year. I love the deep sweet scent for fall!

 


My Favorite Perfumes

Perfume 4. Chanel 1957

Top: White Musk, Aldehydes, Bergamot, Pink Pepper, Coriander
Middle: White Musk, Orange Blossom, Jasmine
Base: White Musk, Orris, Cashmeran, Cedar, Honey, Vanilla

When Austin had a Chanel pop-up last year, they had a unique fragrance area. I had no idea Chanel had so many fragrances! I fell in love with this scent. It’s complex with the musk but sweet with the Vanilla.

The name 1957 celebrates Coco Chanel’s relationship with America – a country where the couturier made her fortune. 1957 was the year that Coco Chanel was awarded the Neiman Marcus Award for Distinguished Service in the Field of Fashion

 


My Favorite Perfumes

Perfume 5. Maison Francis Kurkdijan Paris Grand Soir

Top: Spanish labdanum
Middle: Benzoin Siam
Base: Vanilla, Amber, Brazilian tonka bean

I’m actually not a Baccarat Rouge 540 fan. However, this scent I cannot get enough of this! I keep it in my kitchen and spray it on more than any other fragrance I own. It’s that incredible! I cannot wear this without someone asking what I am wearing.

 


My Favorite Perfumes

Perfume 6. Byredo De Los Santos

Top: Sage, Mirabelle
Middle: Orris Root, Cistus Incanus
Base: Musk, Olibanum, Ambroxan

I recently for this scent and immediately knew I had to have it! This one is heavier than the others and perfect for date night!

February Best Sellers

Spring is almost here! I have started gearing up for spring break and am ready to pack away the winter coats and snow boots. Below is a February Best Sellers list I compiled of the top-selling items for fashion and beauty this month! We have everything from denim skirts, a spring favorite! To some of my new anti-aging shampoo from Target!

February Best Sellers

There is nothing that screams spring more than a beautiful denim skirt! It can be styled in several ways and is the perfect way to elevate your denim. My Spanx Twill Pants (size S) are another spring staple. These sell out and are restocked often for a reason! They are very flattering, not see-through, and easily elevate your spring looks. White pants are my go-to for spring and summer! Use code: HerFashionedLifexSpanx on the Spanx website for free shipping, free returns, and 10% off! 

You will rarely see me without my everyday gold jewelry—a chic pair of huggies and a simple chain necklace.

Something beauty-related this month is my new anti-aging shampoo and conditioner from Target! It is by the brand Michiru, a Japanese brand that uses ingredients to boost collagen, increase fullness, and appear visibly less damaged.

One of my favorites on this February Best Sellers graphic is my Dolce Vita espadrille sandals! These platform wedges have a modern edge and go with every outfit; you can wear them all day. They are so cute for spring and summer and are the perfect height for some added dimension.

An Amazon find that was popular this month is my blue sleeveless set! It is the perfect color for spring and can be styled with a denim jacket or cardigan until the warmer weather rolls in! Paired with the set is my stunning rattan bag that is selling quickly!

Do you need a good dress for work or just another good staple to have in your closet? You guys loved this black dress this month. It is comfy, flattering, and classy! I love adding a brown wrap belt to the white version.
