June Favorites

   
   Favorites time! Let's talk about what I was in love with last month.

My Move Into Minimalism: A Fashion Haul

   Well hello there, how are you? I hope you're doing well, if so, that's awesome. 

   I've been mentioning in a lot of my recent posts that I've been trying to declutter and streamline my wardrobe. (Well, my life really, but that's not relevant to this specific post.) To that end goal, I have removed a ton of clothes from my closet that were either too old or worn, too difficult to pair with other items in my closet, or completely unused. In the process, I've really started to form a solid image of what I want my wardrobe to consist of. 

   After I made the difficult decision to part with several skirts, a few dresses, and thirteen- THIRTEEN (all at once, it really hurt)- pairs of shoes that I really loved but were far too worn, torn, or stained, I was feeling a great void. 

That brings us to this "Haul."

Sweater Weather

  
   I love layering, comfy sweaters, and piling on scarves. That being said, it should be no surprise that my favorite seasons are autumn and winter. I love the cold, cloudy days with rain and wind. I love them.

   Sadly, because I live in Sunny Southern California, I rarely get to enjoy that kind of weather. We pretty much have year-round spring and summer. When the weather does actually start to cool down, there are a few sweaters and scarves that I especially love to wear.

   The reason I particularly love all of these sweaters and scarves, is that they can be worn in so many ways that they make great basics, even though some have bold prints.

My Autumn Favorites

   I wasn't able to blog about my September and October favorites, so I thought I'd just do one post about my favorites things from this autumn season (September through November).

   I didn't really stray from my must-have-every-day items this fall, even though I got a few new things. I feel that I really need to use the new things I purchased for a little longer before I can say whether they are favorites of mine or not. 

   So, without further ado, here are my favorites from this fall season! Click the link below to view...

Weekend Wear

  

   I enjoy getting fancy and dressing in my best pieces, but don't often have the opportunity. The work that I do doesn't really call for more than jeans and a nice blouse. This past weekend, however, I had a two day event that I attended and it called for dressing up. It's still very warm here, so they are not very "autumnal," but they are still fun and the colors are sort of autumn appropriate.

   This weekend was so nice, and like every weekend, went by far too quickly. I really wish that I had a better camera, the qualities of the photos I get from my current one are hit and miss. It's a bummer, but I work with what I've got. Till next time!
