Spring Capsule Wardrobe 2023.

- Hello Everyone,
Today I have a treat for you: My Spring Capsule Wardrobe.
As per definition this is just a core of my wardrobe, the pieces that mix and match and are more neutral and classic.
The idea of a CAPSULE WARDROBE is so you can personalise it with different styling, accessories, colours etc. to suit your lifestyle and your personality.
Apologies about the changing light throughout the video.
The Sun actually came out (a typical British Spring weather: rain and sun at the same time 😜) and confused my camera.
I hope you enjoy this video. Lots more Spring fashion content coming your way!
Thank you so much for watching, subscribing to my channel and for your lovely comments😊
MY CAPSULE WARDROBE is a collection of old but loved clothes, second hand clothes and things I very recently got in a sample sale. Therefore not everything will be linked here. I will try to find similar trusted options that I can recommend with clear conscience.
For the reference I’m 170cm (5’6”) tall and usually wear a size 36/10 unless I’m wearing mens clothes which are either my husbands (size XL) or thrifted in random sizes.

I’m not gonna lie, my favourite jeans’ colour is white (maybe because they’re more practical than a pair of white trousers, but still look chic).

Outstanding video
Thank you so much Dan. Really appreciate it🥰
Wow, great outfits, love the materials you use !
Hello Kathryn and thank you so much for your comment. I’m happy you enjoy my content😊🫶
Your videos are becoming like a style library! Wonderful, Mariola! Please keep them coming and have a great weekend 😊
Hello Bette-Ann, thank you so so much for your sweet comment and your support. I really appreciate it and it motivates me for my future projects😘
As always, impeccable taste, and now that you are closer to the camera while you talk to us is perfect. Love your videos, always with so classy and elegant outfits! 🌹🌸🏵
Hello Areli and thank you so much for your lovely comment and useful observation. I’m trying to constantly improve my content and the quality of my videos🥰
Love that you check out what's current in clothing just to see if it has caught up with your style! You know who you are and what your style is and how you want to look, which gives you confidence. This was such a great video, I often have difficulty figuring out what to wear when the season changes. Even though my wardrobe has good elements, many items similar to what you showed in this video, it's not always easy for me to put things together. You have great style!
Hello Ruth, thank you so much for your sweet and kind comment. I really appreciate it. In terms of styling your clothes for different seasons or being stuck in a style rut, my best friend is Pinterest. I have a few boards that I always go back to. Sometimes I need some inspiration about the colour combination, sometimes layering or proportion. It always gives me lots of ideas. You could also use a Freeform (which I believe is a tool on all apple products) to paste all the photos you have and use a mood board🥰😊

Great video. You are so thoughtful about any new additions. I really appreciate the effort made to create a very useful and detailed video. Thanks for sharing x
Dear Tracy, thank you so so much for your lovely comment. Im really happy that you appreciate my effort. Focusing on quality and natural/eco materials while staying stylish is very important to me xxx🥰
Mariola, it’s always a pleasure to listen to your voice and to learn from your style knowledge and personal interpretation ❤
Thank you so much for your lovely comment and apologies for such a late reply. I’m really happy you enjoyed it. Dziekuje kochana🥰
I love your style
Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Noeleen 🥰
Perfect timing on a 53F degree day! - The 1st warm day in 4-5 months! Thanks for showing us so many casual elegant outfits. Also appreciate the links to the items you’ve mentioned.
Yaaaay the Spring is almost here!! So exciting! I’m so happy you enjoyed the video and thank you for your support 😊🫶
Awesome vid, so many beautiful elegant doable looks. Thank you so much.
Hello Lizzie. Thank you so much for you kind comment and I’m happy you enjoyed the video🥰
My favorite lightweight sweaters are knitted silk, they’re perfect for the warmer months, but hard to find. When I see one I love, I try to snatch it up.
agree, knitted silk is lovely. And I find it more wearable on a daily basis than silk shirts.
Omggggggg ❤ lovvvvvvve your chanel....amazing! Love from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
Hello Line, thank you sooooooo much for your sweet comment and your support. I really appreciate it🥰🙏🏼
I love the white jumper with the blue embroidery, too bad for me that it was a sample sale, I would love to have one like that.
yes, it is lovely. I wish it was available online for you to snatch it up😜😘
Amei todas as bolsas lindas e de muito bom gosto.Parabens #kkuwan

Hello Valerie from Australia🥰 I imagine it’s really hot in there. Not sure which one is worse😜
Mariola, I love taupe too! It's a great color for us. Happy Spring.
Hello Kimberly! yeeeey taupe is so elegant and chic isn’t it? thank you and have a lovely Spring too🥰

Hello Caro, Im so happy to hear that (well read😜) my videos give you some inspiration🥰
Perfect video for this time of year when spring is around the corner. Your styling is perfect for me and I always get some ideas after watching you. You are so likable and you have an understated elegance about you. Thank you so much for doing this, and I look forward to your next video!
Hello Deedee. This is so sweet of you, thank you so much for your kind words. I’m happy my videos give you some ideas 🥰
Another really timely video . Mariola you should consider writing a book re :- fashion and style ! You are my visual style guide 😀😀.Look forward to the next one and thankyou for your content.
Hello Steve, thank you so so much for your support and kind comment. Your suggestion is definitely interesting and perhaps something I could consider 😊🙏🏼😘

Hello Vivi, thank you so much for your lovely comment. I’m so happy my videos help you organise your wardrobe. I know how important it is😊🫶
Another fabulous video ❤
Hello Louise and as always thank you so much for your support🥰🫶
Love watching these deep dives. I am in the SE in the states. Spring has sprung here.
It's always short lived , not long enough for me
Loved all the ideas and inspiration for these transitional looks. I definitely need to add a trenchcoat this year.💞.
Hello Deborah, thank you so much for your comment. I also love Spring and wish it lasted all year (like California😊).
@@SlowDownInStyle ,so true🤗
I want to have a navy coat, too! I love the new coat of Armedangels (the vanooise coat), but it would be an investment.
Yesssss navy coats are sooo chic. I just checked the one you mentioned, it looks really cool and made in a very sustainable way🥰
could you maybe link your shirt? they are very nice oversized cut:)
From where is the T-shirt you are using from start? Beautiful and simple style:)
Hello Daniela, so sorry I’ve missed your question. I’m afraid this t-shirt is an old one from Jigsaw. I know COS used to make similar style xxx
Love the graphic tee shirt! Where did you get it? Great presentation for spring outfits.
Hello Diane, thank you so much for your comment. The graphic tee is from Jigsaw sample sale, which in this case means it’s a last year season piece. I tried to find it online but with no success. Hopefully you can find something equally nice😊
When you say: It's not my colour, do you refer to your preferences only, or maybe you've had some colour analysis done for you? Do you know what your colour palette really is? Are you Dark /Deep Winter? I wonder because generally you tend to choose cool tones, yet sometimes there's a pop of warm beige. I'd love that topic mentioned on your channel. Btw, what colour are your eyes? I look similar that's why I am relating :)
Hello Anna. Thank you for your comment. When I say “it’s not my colour” I mean it doesn't suit my skin undertone. I did have a mini colour analysis done a while ago, but I felt like I needed more in depth information, so I did my own research. I know now I am a Cool Winter and anything warm (especially beige) washes me out. But there is always a way around it: to wear a white tee, shirt or tank top near my face or just wear a warm colour trousers/skirt/shorts which are away from my face. I also tend to look better with high contrast, anything too muted and pastel doesn't do me a favour. My eyes are brown (we call it a beer colour😜). I hope that helps. In terms of videos on the subject I would need to think of a good way to present it, to show both cool and warm tones. Thank you for your suggestion🫶😊
New subscriber here! Your style is so beautiful! May I ask where your accent is from? It's so lovely! 💕
Hello My Dear New Subscriber😊 Thank you for your lovely comment. I’m from Poland, so I guess Slavic accent😁
@@SlowDownInStyle 💕beautiful☺
I don't even wear cotton t-shirts anymore, it has to be a cotton modal. If I have to I'll even buy them in the men's department
Hello Maria. You’re right! modal is so great material. And Im all for shopping at mens department. It’s actually the first place I go at vintage shops 😊🫶
Dear Mariola, love your style so much. I found the same trench secondhand on ebay in M. I'm 1,65 m tall and normally wear size 36. Before I buy this coat, could you please help me? Which size do your wear in the uniqlo trench? It's the perfect fit. Kind regards from Bavaria, Sabine
Hello Sabine. Thank you so much for your support. I’m so happy you found this trench second hand. It’s a really lovely and well made coat. I’m 170cm and usually wear 36, my coat is size L, but I love oversize and don’t mind even if my coats are big. I hope it helps a little😊
@@SlowDownInStyle Thank you very much, Mariola! This helps me. Have a nice evening and thanks for the quick response! I'm looking forward to your next video. 🙂
I’m happy it helped and hope you can have your new beautiful coat soon. Have a lovely weekend🥰
Got it! :-) You are right, size L would be better, more oversize, I like how the coat looks on you, but the fit is okay. Thank you so much, Mariola. All the best, Sabine
Where is the cropped black jacket from please
Hello Trudi. I just updated the links for you😊👍
@@SlowDownInStyle fantastic! the video is SO good ❤
you’re so kind. Thank you😊🙏🏼
Hi, I cannot find the link to the 04:10 knitted white blouse/t-shirt.... Maybe could you tell us what brand it is and even better give us a link ? None of the linked t-shirts looks like this one 😢 Thanks a lot !
Hello Christine, thank you for letting me know. These are all my own clothes that I wear on a daily basis and some of them, like this top, have been in my wardrobe for a while now. This panel t-shirt is from Jigsaw and I remember COS had similar tops before. If I find something similar I’ll let you know😊
I don’t wear synthetic/plastic fibers, even in blends, either. Or plastic shoes or accessories. I do like plant-based Tencel and similar eco-friendly versions of rayon, but no plastics! Tencel is a good cruelty-free alternative, I do feel guilty about wearing so much silk, but I think it’s the most comfortable fiber, by far. I find synthetics/plastics, extremely uncomfortable, irritating and they always look super-cheap, too. I can spot acrylic and polyester at a glance now, usually. If a brand skimps on fabric quality, they skimp on construction, too. They spend millions trying to convince us otherwise, but there is never any reason to add polyester, acrylic, nylon (polyamide), etc., the only reason is to reduce their cost and so, increase their profits. They should spend that money on better fabrics, instead, I don’t want to be compressed all the time and it’s a battle to get clothes with elastane on and off, who needs that? I just received a top from a brand that sells itself on its silks, and it has 20% nylon, how disappointing. It’s short-sleeved, so I don’t think I could actually wear it in weather warm enough to allow short sleeves. Synthetics have zero breathability and the fibers are sharp-edged, they cut into the skin. Natural fibers are more rounded and smooth, and highly breathable. This might not seem very important when young, but once a woman is in her 40s, breathability is the most important characteristic of fabrics. Our bodies simply can’t regulate our temperature as well after estrogen starts declining. Also, allergies to synthetics, like mine, develop over time after repeated exposure, they’re not uncommon. I’ve had to give up fast-fashion, even their natural fibers are poor quality, super-thin and don’t perform or look good.
Hello Kimberly, You’re so right about the natural fabrics. I try to completely eliminate synthetics from my life, but sometimes I fail (usually when the more sustainable brands don’t have the style I’m looking for). And to be honest I feel guilty, which I think it’s a good thing, because that feeling makes me strive for better😁😘
I LIKE YOUR VIDEO CAN YOU TELL ME PLEASE WHERE DID YOU BUY YOUR SANDALS , STYLE NUMBER 4
GOOD LOCK MY HONEY 😘
Hello Dear! thank you so much for your comment. These sandals are pretty old actually (around 3 years). I cannot remember the brand, but I found a similar pair at Dune. It’s not a crisis cross style but a very similar vibe and the leather looks good. Here is the link www.dunelondon.com/laude-double-strap-leather-sandals-black-0079510780004484.html?glCountry=GB&gclid=Cj0KCQjwiZqhBhCJARIsACHHEH9yF_JWYgiH1gt62fCj4YtOSiFLloBxRMCDXzFHFsZXco7pJ1EocmcaAjy8EALw_wcB
