Can you believe that Spring P333 is almost officially over??
WOW.
I feel like it flew by. I did really good this season and I feel like I've learned that I needed to layer in Minnesota weather. There have been some days up in the 90s and I've got my shorts and tank tops for that. But, I did get pretty sunburned on my back one day while working in the garden. I've got to remember that even though it's not as hot as it was in Charleston, SC, I need to wear my sunscreen.
I'm excited to say that I'm going to keep most of my wardrobe in tact for summer. I did go to Target and get new undies (I know they don't count, but still) and a lighter chambray shirt that doesn't button up the front. It looks more like a shift or a tunic. I also repaired a sundress that's been in my sewing room for awhile and remembered how much I love it when the weather is nice enough to wear it. So I tossed in those two things for summer. I'm really loving the color pallete that I chose and I'm going to continue with it.
A few things I learned about this wardrobe challenge.
I did not use my oversized purse this season (at all!) I usually use it in the fall and winter when I need a place to put my hat, scarf and gloves so I don't loose them. So, I think I'll take it out of rotation for the rest of summer. I'll put it back in the fall. Because I really do love it!
I never wore my zombie shirt or my flower shirt. I stayed at home and worked on the farm a lot and I have different work clothes. Mostly old T shirts that I don't wear out anymore and a few pairs of jeans that are really holey and too big for me now. Just awful things that I don't care about getting ripped or dirty.
I've realized that I need another pair of shorts. I wear my dark pair of shorts around the farm. Mostly to garden in when it's hot. But I need another pair! The light mint pair I worry about getting dirty or stained so I don't wear them on the farm. I'm thinking I'd like to blend my farm and my out capsule wardrobes. But I'm not sure how to do that yet. This system is working and makes sure that I have nice things to go out of the house in when I do.
I'm really excited about the 4 piece capsule wardrobe challenge that I'm participating in this year. There is no deadline, but I'm thinking about making these things so that I can wear them this summer. I need to get busy sewing if I want to do that though.
I think I may need to get a new pair of khakis. As much as I love how soft this pair is and all. Maybe I could just take them in. I will make myself a deadline to take them in and if that doesn't happen then I will just put them in the declutter bin/bag.
