Summertime Outfit Woes

I’m going to be real with you guys. I hate my capsule wardrobe in the summer. Okay maybe not hate, but I get the blues sometimes. It’s hot and it’s like I forget how to dress. I have this strange need to buy all of the summer trends when they surface, but of course, I never do. I feel like my wardrobe compared to others is so boring in these warmer months.

Currently, I’m wearing some olive green shorts and of course my gray Madewell muscle tee. It’s very simple…maybe a little too simple. I’m just spending the afternoon at the coffee shop, so it doesn’t really matter too much what I wear right?

It’s really when I go out with friends (in the summer) that I have issues with my outfit choices. I see these Instagram post with all these beautiful summer outfits – mainly dresses and I just want to buy them right then and there. Thank you social media marketing!

Awhile back in some lost blog post, I said that I have some “wildcard” pieces in my capsule wardrobe. However, I tend to get rid of those pieces because I’ll wear them and then forget about them which defeats the purpose of a capsule wardrobe.

Basically, I’m struggling with being too simple or being too trendy and I’m trying to find something in the middle. One second I think I have it all figured out, but I really don’t…well, at least not in this type of weather or in the nighttime. I do have two outfits that I love wearing out as well as on a normal day, but that’s only two outfits.

So, what I’m trying to say is that over the next few weeks, I’m going to try and figure out how I want to spice up my summer wardrobe whether it be adding accessories, changing up my shoes or even wearing my hair in different styles. I’m open to any suggestions, so feel free to leave a comment about how you dress for the summer! Thanks for reading.
