A short cut to getting dressed: create a monochromatic base and change out the top layer throughout the week.

Summertime in the office can be tricky. We need to balance staying cool on our commute while maintaining modesty and professionalism in the office. For those extra hot days, I gravitate towards linens and cottons in cuts that don’t cling to the body. Here I’m wearing Everlane’s texture tank with a loose fit linen pencil skirt from Target.

considered living: wardrobe downsizing experiment
My closet is now reduced to 60% of what it once was, but there still remains clothes that I don’t wear because they are meant for special occasions, or a number of other reasons. It is frustrating to see them linger in my closet, taking up space, getting in the way of what I wear all the time. So I’ve decided to do a little downsizing experiment. I’m going to remove all the items that haven’t been worn in the past year and stow them away out of sight. I want to know what it feels like to work with a closet that only contains my essentials and pretend for a while that this is my entire wardrobe. After 3 months, I will re-assess what I’ve stowed away with the idea that the experience of having less will help me decide what really can be removed permanently.
