Spring French Capsule Wardrobe: Pieces for Everyday Style

Spring used to be one of my least favorite seasons to get dressed. Undoubtedly, this time of year can feel like a daily wardrobe guessing game.

Loafers have always been a great staple in any fall wardrobe. You can dress loafers up or down, and they’re a great middle-of-the-road alternative to both sneakers and heels.

Traveling internationally is such a privilege and I really encourage anyone to do it if they can.
