Vintage Ralph Is The Best Ralph: My First Fall Capsule Wardrobe Outfit
Even though the temps are still in the 80's here in Charleston, I couldn't resist wearing my favorite vintage skirt. This skirt, which I scored on Etsy last year has quickly become a favorite of mine for so many reasons.
Not only are the colors perfect for fall, but it has a super comfortable wrap style and belt loops - so hard to find in most modern day skirts.
To let the colors in the skirt shine, I paired it with my navy long-sleeve tee (though my short sleeve silk top would have been better for the weather).
To top off the look I wore my favorite Dooney & Bourke vintage belt and satchel and go-to gold J. Crew bangle.
I have embedded the items that are still available for purchase below in case you're interested, and would love to know if you're having fall weather where you live. I can't wait for the cooler temps to arrive down south and would love to live vicariously through you until then.
Until next time,

Classic Separates: 37 Piece Fall Capsule Wardrobe Combination No. 1:
On the heels of yesterday's post I thought I would begin a new series. While I already share my own capsule combinations each season, I thought it might be helpful to also share the countless combinations that can be made from the 37 piece capsule I shared yesterday.
So, beginning today and spanning the duration of the season, I will be sharing weekly capsule wardrobe combinations that can recreated using only those items.
To kick things off, I'm beginning with a super simple but always classic combination.
As always, I hope this inspires you to start doing more with less.
Until next time,

My Last Summer Capsule Outfit: All Black With A Pop
As I type this, the temps are finally starting to drop here in Charleston. Each morning is the perfect blend of breezy and cool as the last days of summer whisper their final goodbyes. With this sudden shift in the weather and the first day of fall just around the corner, I am slowly winding out of my summer capsule.
To prepare for the new season, I will be sharing my fall capsule wardrobe in the next few day. In the meantime, I am sharing my last summer capsule outfit.
During these final summer days I have been reaching for my darker items more and more, and this outfit is no exception. For this look I paired my black silk button down with my simple a-line black skirt to let my accessories shine.
As you know, I think accessories are the key to stretching a minimized wardrobe so I put that mentality to work with this look. By pairing my simple black basics with some standout accessories (a bright bangle, bold scarf and structured bag), this all-black look felt fresh rather than dreary.
This scarf perfectly represents why I love silk scarves so much. Not only are the colors bright and fun, but it instantly dresses up any look.
Plus, by tucking my shirt into my skirt the pieces look like a dress rather than separates. This pairing stretches these pieces even further, and is the perfect example of why I love working with a minimized wardrobe.
Rather than have a closet full of dresses, tops and skirts, I'm able to create multiple looks from just two pieces and some carefully chosen accessories. What's even better, is the amount of stress that this approach has eliminated, resulting in much less time worrying about what to wear every day and more time enjoying life. At the end of the day, what could be better than that?!
Before I sign off I'd love to know if you have any accessories you come to time and time again. Also, what tricks do you use to stretch your minimized wardrobe? I absolutely love hearing from you and can't wait to share a new season of thoughtful, minimized dressing with you soon!
