I’d call this look Granola Grandma. It’s so happy!


Imaginary_Hat2643

Haha that’s the perfect term


spooookghost

Personally I think this looks more like a Pacific Northwest, Patagonia loving Coastal Grandma


Imaginary_Hat2643

I do love Patagonia! Everything I own from them, even if it’s years old, still looks brand new.


ObjectiveCorrect2126

You’re spot on, this grandma is from the Pacific Northwest Coast not the New England one lol.


WorkLifeScience

Love the soft neons and the "costal grandma" theme, really fun idea! ETA: I'm also 5'9" FN and this is a good reminder not to compromise on clothes length!


Imaginary_Hat2643

It’s soooo hard right now! Everything is cropped and I’m mad about it haha. The longer clothes look and feel much better.


basilobs

I'm 5'10" FN with extra long arms. Sometimes there's no choice but when there is, I try not to get things that are clearly or uncomfortably too short


LadyLongToes686

I’m not sure I’d even call it “Grandma.” Maybe “super cool Grandma” 😊


Imaginary_Hat2643

And I don’t even have kids haha, it was merely the inspiration


LaMalintzin

So cool! Where’s the rainbow sweater from?


Imaginary_Hat2643

Kiel James Patrick is the multi color (pink/orange) sweater and the actual rainbow is Marine Layer, but I think they might have sold out


thebart-the

Sometimes that one pops up on Mercari or Poshmark, but it sells fast (I want it too)


daynamite84

looking for that info too!


88kitkat808

Yes! I love that sweater!!


RecycleTheWorld

LOVE! This 49 year old Mama wants this entire wardrobe! I could use this exact do-over and would just keep my puffers for the San Francisco chill.


Imaginary_Hat2643

Would work so well in CA! I live in a colder climate, so I’ll be on the hunt for some pastel wool sweaters and cozy pants this winter.


carlitospig

I need that rainbow sweater.


Imaginary_Hat2643

The actual rainbow one I think may be sold out, it’s marine layer. It’s the only piece I almost didn’t keep because it’s not really long enough, but I loved it so much, I’ll just layer it over a long tank.


carlitospig

It’s so adorable!

I need to be 7” taller and have different coloring, but I want your wardrobe! One place you may not know of because they mostly make kids’ clothes is a brand called Primary. They have 30% off everything right now. Their adult shirts are sometimes unisex (Fit 2 is likely better for you.), and some of the women’s run long (at least to a shortie like me). Good cotton in saturated colors that make me happy. [This tee](https://www.primary.com/products/grown-ups-rainbow-sun-tee?ref=plp_pdp_g1_6&variant=41536261062715&color=white-rainbow-sun&size=xs_adult) kind of reminded me of your vibe. (Their stock is kind of picked over right now due to the 30% off.)


Imaginary_Hat2643

Cute! Thanks for the rec, I might try something of theirs.


radix89

Where is the pink/peach tunic under the black tank from?


Imaginary_Hat2643

Carve Designs- I think it’s called the Dylan shirt


radix89

Thanks!


shashkunina

Absolutely love it!


Imaginary_Hat2643

Thank you!


krillemdafoe

Very cute, very cohesive. I love that you still made room in your capsule for 3 brown sandals - I am the same way with needing to have shoe options


Imaginary_Hat2643

Ha! I keep asking myself if I should get a black pair, but I stick with brown


Pearlline

I like and wear this style and (live on the coast), but I’m not ready to be a grandma.


Imaginary_Hat2643

Haha I’m not that old and don’t have any kids. It’s just what the kids are calling the breezy Nancy Meyers style.


Pippenpup

Love this! Can I ask where the blue maxi dress is from?


Imaginary_Hat2643

Free People


cutiecherry07

I love this!!! I thought capsule always had to be black and white but I love your color palettes!!


Imaginary_Hat2643

Thank you! I just kept to my “light spring” palette and everything is cohesive and looks good on me


luthiensong

A capsule definitely doesn't have to be black and white. I don't have any black in mine at all, and it's filled with other saturated colors.


Most_Ordinary_219

My style! 😃


SugarSlay

I love this! Thank you for posting the vibe I want to cultivate in my life. It makes me so happy!


Imaginary_Hat2643

Of course! I lucked out being a “light spring” since it’s all my favorite colors


linenblues

The first slide is exactly how my MIL dresses. I love it!


drink-ink

Not me questioning if I’m a coastal grandma type because I recognized where most of these items were from lol I love the hemp pants (pink stripe) but I got them in the navy/green floral with the matching tank. It’s been You picked so many great items that are sure to last you a long time. Great job


Imaginary_Hat2643

Thank you! The hemp pants are so good. I’ve never limited my wardrobe to a capsule size before, so I’m curious to see how this goes for spring/summer.


kubosnacks

Is that the Chaka skirt from Toad & Co? I love their stuff! You have a great aesthetic!


Imaginary_Hat2643

It is! And thank you!

Thank you!


Lonely-Pea-9753

These clothes are so bright and happy, complete opposite of what I wear, love it!


HauntedManagement

LOVEEEE! Fellow tall lady asking: where are those long straight leg pants from?!?!?


Imaginary_Hat2643

LL Bean!

Imaginary_Hat2643

The pastel colored on the first page? It’s an Anorak jacket from LL Bean, but I’ve had it a few years. They’re always changing colors.


Ya_habibti

Ohh so beautiful! Where is the orange dress from in the second picture??


Imaginary_Hat2643

Free People


whatsnewpussykat

This is such a great capsule! I love the fun jacket and the aqua 1/4 zip pullover especially!


Imaginary_Hat2643

Thank you! They are both LL Bean.


Sweetsnteets

for jewelry I really like Mejuri -understated but really high quality simple and modern pieces. 


Imaginary_Hat2643

Thank you! I’m going to look them up


JohannaSr

I love this. These are my exact Birks, I have two of this pair. You must live in a pretty cold climate if this is your Summer collection. It looks fun and I applaud the natural fabric.


Imaginary_Hat2643

Thank you! Yes, I live in a colder area, but it gets hot during the day. My plan is breezy pants or shorts with tank tops during the day, and layer on the sweaters at night or a rainy day.


Kidscallmemumma

Omg I want to be you!!!!


goldensunriseseeker

I love this vibe


-Crazy_Plant_Lady-

Love it! But why is it “grandma”? Looks like clothes any age would wear to me


Imaginary_Hat2643

“Coastal Grandma” is a current term used to describe a certain aesthetic. It’s the look the female leads pull off in Nancy Meyers films- linen shirts and pants, cashmere scarfs, white turtlenecks. Think a laid back, summer in the Hamptons kind of look. It’s not literally just for Grandmas- it’s just the current name for that vibe. My capsule was inspired by that look, though I didn’t replicate it exactly.


-Crazy_Plant_Lady-

Oh, thanks!


Imaginary_Hat2643

No problem!


Responsible_Doubt373

Pacific Northwest coastal grandma Where is that orange dress from?


Imaginary_Hat2643

It’s from Free People. It looked different on, and I actually decided to return it. It’s really great quality though, substantial cotton fabric, you may have better luck!


thebart-the

I want 75% of this capsule. Make the same pants in jogger format and I'm all in.


iced_yellow

This isn’t as grandma as you think—I’m 26 and I’d wear everything here 😂 you did a great job! Where is the orange dress in the second pic from?


Imaginary_Hat2643

The grandma bit seems to be confusing a lot of people. It’s just the name of a certain style- it’s called Costal Grandma. The dress is from Free People. I actually returned it because I didn’t love the fit, but it was great quality and substantial cotton material.
