pocket sized wardrobe for a pocket sized gal

 Yes I do. Yes I do! *sung in the tune of a children's song stuck in my head rn* Here we have some layouts of my tops, bottoms, shoes, and layers!  Now that I'm seeing it all out there, I'm worried I have too many tops. I didn't even picture a few graphic shirts I have (baby and mom matchy stuff), my gray v-neck, and I'm hoping to get an oatmeal/ivory plain tee and a navy tee! Umm....maybe this is just way too much?! OR Maybe this is perfect for a 6 month capsule. If it was only 3 months this could be overwhelming, but it does all fit comfortably in my closet and offers me a lot of variety with the variable weather over the next 6 months. I also feel like it has great casual yet elevated vibe. Okay, I'm cool with this. Let's just keep as is- and if I'm feeling like I haven't worn a top yet or that it isn't fitting in in the next month, bye bye! 

 We got our line up for the season!  It took me about a month to get my colors together, shop my closet, and I'm still finalizing shopping my new items- I am on a budget! There are also some switches I plan on doing when new items come in, or am considering but just can't decide.  The asterisk means I need to still purchase or go over (pick one or the other/eliminate completely?)! I have blue shirt x2 because I already have a light blue crew neck tee shirt in the mix and I'd like to add a navy blue v-neck tee shirt. I also have a crewneck sweatshirt that only works for the Halloween/Fall season, so I'll be switching that out for a winter sweater once that season is over!  I also may or may not have signed up for a monthly mommy and me tee shirt subscription 😆 I COULDN'T HELP IT!!  My plan is to only accept it if the colors work for my capsule, and that I will get 2-3 and then cancel it until the next capsule.  Okay question- do I NEED a navy v neck if I al...

My husband and I joked that Seasonal Cereal (Serial?) would be a great name for a song! or was it a band? Either way, we haven't made much progress towards any song writing or anything yet. Or maybe I should rephrase that- we "write" new songs everyday - the songs we sing to little E about her toes, her eyes, what we're doing..etc. But, we have slacked on our Seasonal Cereal idea. It does remind me of that Milk and Cereal song; Milk and Cereal, Milk and Cereal, Milk and Cereal.....Cereal and Milk!  That being said, we are entering a new season in 2 days, and while I don't normally coordinate my seasonal wardrobes so well with the actual equinoxes/solstices...here we are on an almost perfectly matched transition!  And, boy do I need it?! I am feeling a bit lost/unfocused lately. Work isn't giving me that relief from parenthood that it did right when I went back, but I'm so tired from working 5-6 days/week, on top of momming full time that I don't have a...

Alright I'm 2 weeks into my nursing mama capsule wardrobe and it's going great! If you are looking to create a capsule wardrobe yourself there are several great blog posts already out in the world that explain their methods. Classy yet Trendy, Vetta, and what I think is the original..Project 333 (33 items over 3 months) are the 3 that I referred to when creating my first one back in 2017. I've made a few since then but this one was definitely the easiest one since I've 1. Already made them and have my core items already set and 2. I pretty much started from scratch since all of my clothes were in storage due to pregnancy!!  All are going to tell you to start the same way- choose your base colors, neutrals, and accents.  Base colors can be black/white, navy/cream, dark brown/ivory etc.  Nuetrals are going to be blush, denim, tan, grey, etc  Accents can be colors, patterns, or textures! I've done leopard, florals, 2-3 colors that can go together, and lace before. Usin...

Here we are. In the actual postpartum season of my life. It's so crazy reading my last blog and how different I am and my life is from then until now. It feels like I've always been a mom and I've always had this amazing baby girl, but it's only been 6 weeks. I am happy to say that I was able to get myself a capsule wardrobe together over the last 2ish weeks and have been doing it for a couple days now!!  In the beginning I was cycling through 3 pairs of maternity pajama pants and a romper. I went topless with a robe for a few days but then reality set in and I was leaking milk everywhere, so I ordered some nursing tanks to go along with the 2 nursing t shirts I had. Luckily I already had some nursing bras, all so so useful and necessary. As time continued and my body started to look "normal" again, I decided I needed to get out some actual clothes lol. I slowly took out my maternity clothes from my wardrobe while leaving some loose tops and clothes that could...

 Hi hi ihi hi  it's been about a year again so that means we blog.  My capsule wardrobe that I started last year in April went great! I loved the color scheme, and the fast and loose version where I kept all the clothes I really wanted as long as they fit me well and went with the color scheme. There was only one problem- I got pregnant!!!! So yeah, once August hit none of my bottoms fit me anymore and I had to go full maternity wear. For the 4ish months leading up to that, though, it went wonderfully. Oh, and I totally bought the heeled doc marten boots and I wore them for every fun outing! Love!  This time around I am starting to curate my wardrobe for the postpartum stay at home mom edition of my life. I am due in less than 3 weeks (eeek!) and I would like to put together a fairly small set of clothes that can 1. be comfy for daily wear 2. FIT ME  3. involve minimal to no new purchases  4. make me look put together even though I'll mentally be going insa...
