Autumn style

I have been getting into a lot of conversations lately about what we want out of our wardrobes and the words that I most often hear are easy, simple, and effortless. You want to be able to reach into your closet, grab anything and have it work for most occasions.

You know how you can be satisfied, comfortable, and confident with your personal style, yet all that falls to the wayside when you encounter one of those people who manage to make even though most basic outfits look impossibly chic?

It has been about 15 years since I decided that my wardrobe wasn’t doing the job it was supposed to, and I wanted to downsize to a much smaller wardrobe. Something that focused on my style rather than a mish-mash of impulse purchases.

These past few days have been unseasonably cooler and I got to do a little Fall Girl Summer with my personal style, which isn’t actually a thing but I wish that it was. Once there is that touch of coolness to the wind it brings out my desire to jump full into the upcoming season.

When you think of a minimalist capsule wardrobe your mind usually goes to a beautiful set of neutrals, clean lines, simple silhouettes, subtle accessories, and no patterns, but I like to try to step outside the box.
