August in Photos
Doing a photo a day project was a nice excuse to take photos for the fun of it, to play without the pressure of executing an "artsy" photo flawlessly. It reminded me of how much fun I had doing my Project 365 in college.
Plus it meant I got to #documentrelentlessly which is basically the only resolution I've been able to stick to.
Here are some highlights in photos!
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.
sunrise at the sunflowers + a vlog
So you know how I was just talking about wanting to go back to the sunflower fields?
Well, my coworker and new friend Kelly saw my post and before we knew it, we were planning a trip to the sunflowers.
A trip to the sunflowers...at sunrise.
My Sacramento Summer Bucket List
Summer is officially here and I'm so excited to get back to exploring my lovely city. It's crazy to think Brandon and I moved to Sacramento almost a year ago! We've made good friends and settled into our day-to-day life here, but I definitely feel like we're still getting to know the city.
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.
