October is one of my favorite months where we currently live. We still have leaves on the trees, but some are turning yellow + red. We can walk + work outside a little more comfortably. There are lots of warmly lit, sunny days...a few moody, rainy days...and a couple of days that give us a taste of what's to come. The temperatures this week have swung from the 80s F to the 40s F! I could feasibly have worn any + all of the clothes from my wardrobe just this week. As shown above, I guess that I didn't.  :) I like to save back some clothes just for the coldest days...and put away some clothes that served me well during the hottest days. Right now, though, these are the best of days.  :)

In celebration of Slow Fashion October, I thought I'd keep track of the outfits I wear in order to highlight the enoughness of the clothes already in my closet. I want to focus on contentedness + appreciating what I already own...this month + every day.

This week's stand-out :: my vintage army pants. They are taking the place of jeans in my closet (at least until I find some jeans that are this comfortable). I've been loving high waisted pants again for a while + these are super high. :) They make belts obsolete + ensure that everything is always securely covered. They are soft + have comfortable straight legs. I think they look cooly casual with everything from tees to cashmere. I hemmed mine at the ankle baring length that I think looks best on me.

Dressing with less, learned :: Having thought through each piece + having just what I love makes getting dressed satisfying + pleasurable. I truly love having just what I need + not too much extra. Enough is so good.

Disclaimer :: Again, these are not style posts (maybe that's obvious).  :) I'm not making any special effort to wear every piece that I own or have made (for Slow Fashion October). This is just what I'd be wearing anyway. :) This is not a boast about how fair my wardrobe is...I just added those notes because that's what we're talking about this month. I want to share (with myself too) that a simple, mostly fair/slow fashion wardrobe slowly put together over time (+ with a budget) is possible. And that less is enough.

Love,

I don't think anyone would say your're boasting. Your posts sound more like you're celebrating in thankfulness what you have. Thanks for sharing your wardrobe with us.
