It’s been a late start to Autumn, so I’ve been taking the slow approach with my capsule; I think we can all agree that nobody really wants to wear merino when it’s still tank top and shorts weather. As much as I love the summertime, I’m looking forward to layering, pulling out my winter boots on the daily, and reaching for my Acne Canada scarf as I rush out the door in the morning.

I’m still fleshing out the remainder of my capsule, and if there’s one thing that’s glaringly clear, it’s that I need to start looking at adding some more work-appropriate everyday tops (which aren’t knitwear!) to my wardrobe. As you may recall, I took on the 5PFW Challenge for Autumn/Winter. Looking back on my first attempt at the challenge, it’s pretty clear to me that I put all my eggs in the wrong basket, so this time around I’m taking my time and picking up pieces that are special, but which are also pieces that I’ll be reaching for every other day. Almost two months in and I’ve picked up just a lone skirt, which I’ve been wearing at least twice a week since I bought it.

On the topic of minimal wardrobes… I’m not sure if it’s down to my obsessive nature, or just due to a change in the season, but I’ve been taking the time to re-evaluate what I’ve kept in my wardrobe, and part with the things that no longer give me joy.

    I love the sandals, I want to order them. I am usually between a size 4 and a 5. Can you please tell me if they run big or small?

      They run true to size 🙂 I am usually an EU40 and I ordered the UK7. Hope that helps! x

    Love that crop top!! Such a pretty look!
    I really need to go through my wardrobe and get rid of the pieces I don’t wear. But it’s always so hard because I think to myself ‘yea, but what if I NEED that printed top I never wear for something special.’ Ha ha

    This. Outfit. Is. Perfection.

    I love midi skirts so you had me at that but the skirt with the top, bag and glasses just *heart eyes* and the skirt is by Lover so you know it’s gonna be amazing!

    I need to get rid of clothes that I no longer love as well. Might take a note from your book and do this soon! I’ll need more winter appropriate items anyway!
