Omiru’s 16-Piece March 2012 Capsule Wardrobe
March 1st, 2012
Say hello to Spring this month. March is all about waking up your wardrobe from the doldrums of Winter with pops of color and pattern. We’re loving color, from the palest mint to the brightest yellows and greens. And as for pattern, we’ve highlighted a selection of pieces that will fit your mood, from everyday elegance to something more daring.
Today, we’ll outline the 16 key pieces you’ll want this month to keep your wardrobe on point. And throughout March, we’ll show you how to mix and match these pieces, along with standard basics that everyone has in their closet, into key looks that you can recreate with your own wardrobe. From left to right, top to bottom, here are the 16 pieces you’ll want to have in your closet this month.
