How Many Clothes Do I Need? You guys, I think FALLLL might be here… finally! I’ve actually started wearing my (imperfect) capsule wardrobe, stay tuned for more info on that next week. But first I wanted to discuss a major stumbling block I had when putting together my fall capsule: how many clothes do I actually need? How minimal can I go without losing my
Playing dress up seriously never gets old… and lucky for me I get to do a bit of real life theme dressing at work! A few of my co-workers instituted a (totally optional) dress up day with a different theme each week, and it taught me a valuable wardrobe lesson. The point isn’t to come to work dressed in a costume, but to make a
I feel like the first day of pumpkin spice lattes is the Groundhog’s Day of fall. On September 1st everybody started doing the PSL happy dance, so naturally I was safe to assume it’s officially fall now… right? Obviously. So like any logical human I immediately packed away my summer wardrobe. I mean, pumpkin spice is the harbinger of boots & sweaters… right? Wrong. After
Transitioning from summer into fall is kind of the worst, right? I’ve been bored of my summer clothes and drooling over cute fall layers for weeks already, but the summer heat just won’t quit. Actually today that’s a total lie. Today in real life I’m wearing a sweater, because it’s gross outside and for some reason they keep cranking the A/C at work. But when
This is something I’ve touched on briefly in recent posts but it’s really been bothering me, so I feel like this topic deserves its own post. Getting more serious about style blogging derailed me from my less-is-more values… and I feel like a hypocrite. I had Instagram envy from watching an endless parade of new outfits. A pressure to constantly wear new clothes on the blog started to creep up on me… and get
Today’s post is sponsored by Encircled, an amazing ethically produced brand that I’m so excited to share with you guys! At this point athleisure is more than a trend, it’s here to stay. The once humble sweat pant has officially earned its place in my wardrobe as an everyday (and travel) staple worth investing in. Comfortable knit pants have always been a travel essential, but

It’s no secret that jeans + a cute top are pretty much guaranteed to make me a happy camper… and I’m totally smitten with this this top! The bell sleeves are so on trend, yet the cowl back gives it that extra touch of drama that makes it different. Another wardrobe addition that I’m so excited to work into my fall wardrobe! Speaking of fall wardrobe, I’ve
Culottes Happy Tuesday! Today’s OOTD features a recent wardrobe addition that I’ve been on the hunt for: black culottes! I love how this particular pair has an architectural silhouette with the deep pleats on the front. It mimics the look of a midi skirt so I’m considering this a two-for-one purchase that will carry over well into my fall wardrobe! For summer I’ve styled them
This post was sponsored by SWISSGEAR but all opinions are my own. Summer in Seattle can be short & unreliable (hello random thunderstorm last weekend!), so I’m all about squeezing every last drop out of summer’s sunny weekends. Fall is already right around the corner but luckily I have a few long weekend getaways on the books… and by long weekend I mean leaving town
