13 Thoughts from 13 Weeks
If you read this title and wondered what the heck I was writing about, let me fill you in: I'm pregnant! Brandon and I announced the pregnancy on Instagram a couple months ago, which is pretty early considering most couples wait until right around now to spill the news. Props to those who wait this long, I was ready to tell basically everyone the moment I found out.
day to night: ruffle off the shoulder top
I've had the idea to create some posts centered around how to style certain pieces from day to night for a while now and I'm so excited to be sharing the first of these today!
Today is all about styling a white off the shoulder top.
10 Pieces, 10 Outfits
Earlier this year I participated in my first ever 10x10 challenge. It was such a cool learning experience and I really enjoyed exercising my styling muscles throughout the challenge. So I was a little bummed that I didn’t jump in on the fun for the summer challenge.
I definitely wanted to share more about the 10 key items I picked for my summer capsule wardrobe and I thought what better way to do that than to style some outfits!
10 outfits to be exact.
what's new to the capsule: summer
Having a successful capsule wardrobe starts with awareness. It's pretty improbable that any of us will create the perfect capsule wardrobe, no matter how long we've been making them, because it's impossible to foresee what life's going to throw our way.
I took my own advice this season and paid close attention to what I was reaching for day in and day out. I didn't make a list, I just kept track of my thought process while getting ready in the morning. And I started noticing patterns.
my summer capsule wardrobe + how i planned it
It’s that time of year when the mornings are hot and the afternoon is hotter! I’m stoked for my first summer in Sacramento and looking forward to seeing how my capsule holds up in this heat.
I shared about my capsule wardrobe process and made a wardrobe planner (!!!) a couple weeks ago. Today I’m breaking down how I used my planner to build my summer capsule plus giving you the full look at this season’s wardrobe.
How To Make A Capsule Wardrobe + A CAPSULE WARDROBE PLANNER!
Hey, hey! I'm back with another installment of Capsule Wardrobe 101! Today's all about how to make a capsule wardrobe!
How To Clean Your Closet (and Ease Into Letting Go)
A few weeks ago I asked you guys if you had any questions about capsule wardrobes and the answer was a resounding yes! It was really cool to see your questions come in, especially because I was a little scared that no one would ask anything!
Most of the questions revolved around how to make a capsule wardrobe for the first time and although I tried to record a video of me answering your questions (twice), I realized that while I was answering your questions, the answers weren’t really covering the how to part of how to build a capsule wardrobe. Plus I got the impression that everyone’s questions were coming from people who are interested in downsizing their wardrobe but aren’t entirely sure where to begin or how to go about it.
Enter this series!
Spring 10x10 Challenge Recap
I find it interesting how life is a constant curve ball. One day you’re planning for a 10x10, thinking you know what the weather and your schedule will be like, and the next thing you know, you’re working thrice as much as you expected to, your hot water is basically non-existent, and it isn’t nearly as sunny as you planned for.
Even with the craziness and the variables, I’m glad I stuck with the challenge.
Spring 10x10 Day 10
Here it is! The last look of the Spring 10x10/Unfancy Remix!
You may notice that I broke the rules again. And by that I mean I disregarded all of them.
See, the last day of the challenge landed on Easter Sunday. While I love the t shirt dress and other clothes I chose to include in this challenge, none of them screamed Resurrection Sunday to me.
