summer wardrobe update

I realize that no one probably wants or cares for such a detailed look at my wardrobe, but somehow I feel like I'm cheating on my previous rundown here...until I record the changes.  :) This makes me realize that the monthly wardrobes were a good thing...things change + I can reflect that monthly.

The things that changed from my intentions of a simple summer wardrobe are:
-I sewed the planned denim tencel shorts + didn't like them (on me). So I decided not to  make any more shorts.
-I'm wearing my thrifted olive pants + my sewn patterned pants with tank tops instead of the planned shorts. It's mostly the olive pants, but I'll throw in the others for options.
-I found a cute little thrifted white tank (even before I wrote this), so I decided not to sew the extra tank.
-My clay jumpsuit was sold, because it felt like one too many once it finally came time to really wear it.
-I decided that I don't need another layer. My indigo tee is enough + I can grab my denim jacket or olive shirt if I really want something different. I had planned to make something like this from a worn/thrifted long-sleeved t-shirt...maybe some other time.
-(My tees were not worn.)

So my simple summer wardrobe now consists of:
tops::
-3 white tanks
-black tank
-block print tank
-pj tank (which I'm now wearing as a top instead)

bottoms::
-olive shorts
-​olive pants
-red block print pants
-(maybe) green print pants

jumpsuits::
-navy
-black

dress::
-stripe

layer::
-indigo LS tee

footwear:
-clog sandals
-vejas
-flipflops
​
total: 17

I honestly feel like I still have too many tops + bottoms. Since I'm trying to make do with what I already have, it is what it is. If I were to start from scratch, I would probably try to just have solid cotton + linen pieces that can all mix + match. I could focus on my color palette of white, clay, + pale denim along with a block printed piece or two + hits of natural leather for sandals + purse. Goals.  :)

Sorry to bore you...again.
That's it.  

Love,
Jane

Thank you so much for saying that, ladies. I like to read about other's wardrobes too, but I'm not sure mine is anything worth writing or reading about. :)
