My plan for this week was to write about the process of updating my simple wardrobe (aka what I believe they call “fluid capsule wardrobing”) and share why I decided on this method and how I go about doing the actual updating. But then, a question popped into my head this morning and completely derailed my… Continue reading [Simply Wardrobing] Real Talk About Style (aka “Am I Too Old For…?”)
So last week I talked about why the “simply wardrobing” thing works for me. I wanted to write a post this week going through the items in my current wardrobe and explain the reasons why each is in my closet. But, to be honest, I don’t think going through 36 35 articles of clothing piece by piece… Continue reading [Simply Wardrobing] My Current Wardrobe Favorites (The Winter 2017 Edition)
So a handful of people have been asking me recently about this “capsule wardrobe” thing that I do and if they could perhaps pick my brain about how I put mine together. For those of you unfamiliar with the “capsule wardrobe,” it’s basically a collection (usually a smaller number) of carefully planned and selected versatile… Continue reading [Simply Wardrobing] My Personal “Not-Exactly-Capsule-Wardrobe” Method
So as a follow-up of last week’s blog post, where I recapped the top five life lessons and loves of 2016 (quite honestly, my favorite blog post to date…check it out HERE), I thought I would share some of the things I hope to learn and love as I am living through 2017. I say… Continue reading Living in 2017: What I’m Hoping (and Planning) to Learn and Love
We are well into the new year (10 days in). Coming out of the busyness of the holidays and New Year, I was left drained physically, mentally, and emotionally. I had given everything I had to my work and my family, and it took some time for my body to forgive me for going non-stop for… Continue reading Living in 2016: What I Learned and Loved
Hello everyone! It’s been an arduous six weeks of work and travel). I don’t know if you pay close enough attention to my ramblings to have noticed I have been gone for a longer period of time than I would like. I both hope you have (because I like to think there are people reading and… Continue reading [Simply Wardrobing] My Five Favorites…aka “Closet Staples”
Well, let’s get right to the meat of the post, shall we? Step #3: Choosing New Players for this Team…errrr…Wardrobe As I mentioned in my last post, the one thing I was scurrying to unearth from storage were some warmer items – sweaters (both cardigan and pullover form) and jackets. *Side Note: I also have… Continue reading [Simply Wardrobing] Building my Fall 2016 Wardrobe Part 2
So, remember all those lessons I talked about in my last post? Specifically #3, when I said the following: [T]he most logical “line of demarcation” date [for Fall] here in the Midwest is Labor Day (which conveniently coincides with some great sales/deals). So that became my deadline, and I have stuck to it. I am done… Continue reading [Simply Wardrobing] Building my Fall 2016 Wardrobe Part 1
Hello, friends! Fall is just around the corner here in Michigan!

Honestly, I feel a little weird writing this blog post, considering that the summer is almost over and I am in the process of planning my Fall Capsule Wardrobe (note the dropping of the term “capsule”…more on that in a future blog/vlog).
