My sister-in law started taking pictures at the beginning of this month. My brother-in-law was on kiddo duty while we did a whole bunch of outfit changes. These pictures were the final of the bunch and Kit had just had enough so she got to be a part of the final photo shoot. To my other mama readers out there… doesn’t it just melt your heart when your kiddos only want you when they are upset?
On a different note, I cannot believe that I am starting to think about my fall capsule. This summer has gone by so fast! I have learned so much so far and I’m really excited to give another season a go. I’m dusting off the old clothing bins this week and starting to look through my fall clothing. Honestly, I probably won’t be able to afford to buy that much so my plan is to look around at some of my favorite stores and then look for similar items on eBay and Thrift stores. You do what you have to do right? Here’s the thing, I know that there is a lot of talk about investing in higher quality pieces when doing capsule wardrobes and I definitely agree with that concept. However, I’m in no position to drop $500+ on a leather jacket so my “investing” will be a little more tame.
I definitely don’t judge anyone for paying whatever they want for quality pieces, I’m just trying to be real with you. Capsule wardrobes are supposed to free you from the burden that clothing can bring and so purchasing something just because it “should” be in your capsule (i.e. Burberry trench, Acne leather jacket, etc.) pretty much does the exact opposite right? I mean, don’t get me wrong, I would love to have those things, but if I ever do get them it will come after much saving. Enough on that. Would any of you like to see a post about my process for putting together my fall capsule? Let me know in the comments if you would! Also, for those of you who also have a limited budget, what are your secrets? Do you have any favorite inexpensive stores? Let me know!
Also, one last thing before you go, I want to give a quick shout out to this diaper bag from By Holm that I carry the heck out of. I just really love it… it’s huge and roomy, looks classy, and it’s waxed canvas so you can wipe it off (which is a major win). If you’re a mom, then you probably need this in your life. Plus the owner Anna is wonderful to work with! And we’re all about supporting women entrepreneur’s at Truncation right?!
Until next time,
