In the previous post, I prepared Spring Capsule Wardrobe, in this post I prepared the capsule wardrobe for stay at home mums. As the first post for stay at home mums was quite a success so this time it will be spring edition. It is not a big difference from the basic spring wardrobe. Mum’s don’t need that many clothes, we just grab what is on top of the pile or first on hand. This is the minimalist style mum wardrobe, casual and comfortable to do a school run, park but good to go and do some meetings as well. Wherever your busy mum’s life takes you, your capsule wardrobe will work hard for you.

What Is Included In Stay At Home Mum Capsule Wardrobe

As I mentioned above, I included a more relaxed style than in the winter edition. But if you like blouses as much as I do, you don’t need to change anything. Just swap winter coat for a lighter trench coat. If you’re still refusing to buy a good trench coat, think again. The good trench will last you for years to come, it means good investment, but it levels up even the simplest outfits. It makes you feel amazing like a million dollar babe. Lately, I made a switch an included only a few t-shirts to my wardrobe. I don’t need to choose from a huge pile of t-shirts that I hardly ever wear. I kept only the few of them and all of them fit perfectly, the most importantly they suit my style and compliment my body. There are few pieces that you might be surprised why I actually picked them for stay at home mums. Yes, white shirt I am looking at you. But the white shirt is so easy to care for and makes you feel so powerful. If you have some important appointment, meeting or some performance to go to, the white shirt is a good choice to reach for.

Little Swaps

I saw so many mums to wear sweatpants or leggings all the time. Why not to go for a stretch jeans. They are comfortable but looks so much better than leggings. Or what about to swap sweatshirt for an oversized sweater or cardigan? It looks much better without too much effort. What I also noticed, many mums wear ballerina’s shoes, for me its a big mistake for our feet. Shoes with a proper sole look better and your back will thank you for it later.

Colours To Go For

I always include basics: white, black, grey and shades of blue. From prints, I am into stripes. Intentionally I chose the brighter colours for the spring capsule wardrobe. It might something to do with the brighter and longer days. Once the sun is shinning we feel happier and full of live. Always keep in mind that whatever you like, and you feel good at it it will fit perfectly in your capsule wardrobe. Spring is the perfect time to play with colours and prints. But don’t let it go too far, over the board. Try to stick with great basics and include only print or colour what really suits you or you feel good at. Otherwise, it’s a waste of time and money.
