the weather seems to be turning. we've swapped shorts for jackets this week. i have been sticking to my transitional pieces exclusively, and i've been really happy. a few pieces have yet to be worn. i think its time to swap a few pieces from my transitional wardrobe for warmer pieces. here's what i'm doing today:
-two short sleeved tops are being swapped for two of the long sleeved striped tees pictured above
-my grey jeans and olive shorts are being swapped out for black jeans and dark jeans
-i returned the white button-down, because i hadn't worn it. i do think it is a great piece to have, but i wasn't picking it to wear. i liked it best on its own, but don't have many times where it feels warm/cool enough to wear it on its own. i don't think i'd like the feel of it under a sweater. also i am kind of scared of spilling on white shirts. i know i can bleach it and i did get a few chances to do that this summer while wearing white! :) -i don't think i'll be wearing my clog sandals or denim shorts anymore this season, but don't have a swaps for them right now
that leaves me with 25 items. none of my swaps are new purchases. i really do feel like i have more than enough pieces in this simple wardrobe. i have been getting a little bored with my short-sleeved tops, since they've been around all summer. i am curious about having 4 capsule wardrobes like 333 or un-fancy. i just don't know if that makes better sense for me or not. i would not have all new pieces in each collection, but it might be nice to hold some items back and switch them out later. i will have to play around with that on paper.
right now i am working on my perfect sweater stack and putting together a fancy look (inspired by this post and a stressful few weeks leading up to attending a wedding recently). i don't have much occasion to really dress up, but i think it would be good to put together one look that feels like me. that way i won't be scrambling just to find something that ends up making me feel uncomfortable all night.
hope you are simply enjoying autumn!
love, jane
