You all know we are going to Mexico at the end of the month.  I mean… I’ve only talked about it a few times. ????  I shared my Beach Necessities post last week.  It has lots of things that we are taking to our beach destination.  Believe it or not, Deb and I are both very light packers.  I know that sounds crazy being two women, but we’ve lugged jam-packed suitcases on vacation before and didn’t wear half of the items.

When getting ready for vacations, I love to purchase a few new pieces but stick with 3-4 colors in my entire wardrobe capsule.  That way, several of  my pieces will be worn multiple times during the trip. And, they will all be mixed and matched.  As I was sashaying around Target for a few other items, (I mean who runs through Target…???)  I noticed several pieces that were adorable.  And they happened to be in my 4 basic colors I am taking on the trip.

So… I thought I would share with you.  Because, I feel so frustrated trying to find cute clothes that don’t make me look like I’m a 53 year old going on 17, or a 53 year old headed to the nursing home.  It’s so ridiculous.  Will SOMEONE please make a cute clothing line focusing ONLY on us mid-lifers?  Thank you in advance!

Spring Capsule Wardrobe from Target

My four basic colors for this spring capsule wardrobe are black, white, cream, and cognac.  I think they are all good transition colors from Winter.  Every item runs true to size.  And, disregard the filthy mirror.  You can tell a little kid was licking it.  ????

Outfit 1

This outfit happens to be similar to what I am planning to wear on the plane.  These cute shoes were actually very comfortable.  And, these happen to be my favorite distressed black jeans.  I bought them earlier in the year and wear them all the time.

OHHHH… AND… this cardigan.  It is my favorite.  I’ve worn it so much already.

Outfit 2

Pretend these are white shorts.  I didn’t see any that I liked yet.  And, in our area, there really wasn’t many Spring items out, but it was still fun trying on what I did find.

Outfit 3

This was THE CUTEST jumpsuit.  It was so comfy and would be easy to make this a little dressier by adding some pretty jewelry.  If you noticed, I kept the same shoes, purse, and sweater.

Outfit 4

Again, you can pretend these pants are shorts because I would totally wear a pair of white shorts with this.  AND…this shirt is ADORABLE and I wish I would have gotten it.  I still may!

Outfit 5

This tee-shirt dress and sweater ended up coming home with me.  Along with the pin striped t-shirt.  I could actually get this dress in several colors.  Sometimes tee shirt dresses make me feel like I am wearing a tent dress.  This is a little more fitted at the top so it still looks adorable without the sweater.  I have no clue where my photo went without it, but it is gone.
