My 42-Year-Old Mom and I Share a Capsule Wardrobe, and Our Go-To Styles Start at $8
Any time my mom and I are seen in public together, strangers jokingly (or sometimes seriously) ask if we’re twins. Not that I’m complaining, though—my mom is the epitome of style and grace, which is why I’ve modeled my closet after hers over the years. Lately, I’ve realized that the classic pieces that make up my capsule wardrobe—leather loafers, crewneck pullovers, etc.—are actually styles that we both love (or more accurately, styles I subconsciously adopted from her taste).
Since my mom is a lover of practicality, it’s only fitting that her go-to styles are timeless pieces that can be mixed and matched to create endless outfit combinations. Currently, plenty of versions of these styles are marked down in Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, and I found the best ageless fashion deals from $8.

If there’s one thing my mom has instilled in me, it’s to look fabulous no matter the occasion. Case in point, her go-to grocery ‘fit in the spring and summer is a billowy maxi dress, such as this Anrabess tiered style. Since I’ve moved to New York City, I’ve only grown to appreciate this fashion choice more and have found myself running errands in similarly flowy layers. As for officewear, we both love rotating through trousers and sweaters, especially in the springtime. To get the look, check out this oh-so-soft crewneck for $19 and these high-waisted pants for $32.

Since we’re both always on the go, neither my mom nor I are one to rock sky-high heels. Rather, practical footwear like comfy booties, walking-friendly sneakers, and itty-bitty heels are much more our vibe. If that sounds up your alley, consider these brown backless mules, which also come in a fabulous snake-skin version, or these cushiony white canvas sneakers, which will easily go with any outfit. Since summer will soon be on its way, you might want to throw a pair of stylish flat sandals into your cart as well.

No capsule wardrobe is complete without the right accessories, so don’t speed to check out until you’re all set on that front, too. If you’re in need of a new go-to work bag, this trendy hobo purse may be the right fit for you. Or, if it’s everyday jewelry you’re after, a new dazzling watch and dainty gold necklace should be your next purchases. Personally, I’m eyeing this Michael Kors crossbody bag, totally inspired by my mom’s adoration for the style.
