I loved seeing your outfits, thank you for sharing them with us! I agree with another comment that the capsules are great but sometimes harder to visualise.

The outfit with your mum’s shirt is my favourite overall but I am obsessed with that Reformation embellished skirt 🤩🤩.

On another note I also realised that the outfits that feel more like myself are the more androgynous ones with baggier shorts or culottes and a more feminine top, while I’ve spent so much money summer after summer buying dresses 🙄…

Hi Mariela!! How's your summer going? Thank you for your comment!

The outfit with my mum's shirt is my joint favourite with #1 too! Glad you liked it.

I'm with you. I have SOOOOOO many floral, brightly colored, summer dresses. Some of them I have loved and worn into oblivion. I sold the ones I never really liked and held on and stored the ones that carry memories. I might sell them later too but for now I'm a little emotionally attached hehe. I'm thinking 'damn had i realised all this earlier I would have many more clothes I love to wear', but - as much as that word gives me the ick - style is 'journey' and I'm also enjoying the evolution, not beating myself for it.

Hi Liza! My summer is going well, hope yours is too! :-)

Your approach is much wiser, yay for not beating ourselves up over past poor style choices. I am keeping the ones I like the best at hand for the days in which I am feeling a bit lazy and just want to slide into a dress, or for summer holidays - I guess it depends a bit on the location, but I have noticed I prefer very simple unfuzzy outfits when I am on vacation, while I prefer more sophisticated accessorized outfits for everyday life. Remaining dresses have been tucked away into a closet and I will assess over time whether I 'miss them' or whether I should sell them/give them away.

I have been really enjoying the newsletters this summer (the sandals review, the one on jewelry, this one with your outfits) even though I didn't get as much time to post. I am looking forward to reading the next ones!

Thank you for sharing! I found what you said about noticing you prefer unfussy outfits for holidays and more fully kitted-out outfits when you're at home particularly interesting. Thinking about it, I think I may be the same. I always pack for holidays full of good intentions, but once I'm there, I'm just prioritising comfort, and I'm in a rush to go out and explore. I'm a true believer that you can never 'underpack'.

So glad to hear you love the features this summer! I LOVED making the sandal review and this column is coming back next week - I am reviewing fall shoes on Sunday 11th 😍 xx
