Start Building Your True Spring Capsule Wardrobe
Before buying anything new, assess what you have versus what you think you need. It helps me to pull out all my winter clothes and look for gaps. Are you missing a camel coat? Need a bright sweater?
Build from there as needs and budget allow. A well-curated winter True Spring capsule wardrobe is versatile and you know you will always look beautiful in every piece!
