I've made it almost an entire month on my very first summer capsule wardrobe. I think it's time for a bit of reflection. What worked, what doesn't, what are my thoughts going forward. And of course, what did I wear?

What's working?

Loving my new shorts! The gray, jean, and khaki ones actually fit! It's amazing how good clothes can feel when they fit regardless of the number on the tag.
I've really been digging my skirts and dresses. I like ones that are casual and comfortable, but cute. I really should wear the chevron skirt more often.
I like wearing tank tops as a base piece. It gets warm here, but mornings are often cooler. I like being able to layer, but my bottom layer has to be something light. Tanks are the perfect choice.
My look is fairly casual, but I do like to wear color and pattern.
I'm liking the push to actually get dressed in the morning. It doesn't have to be an elaborate outfit, but not throwing on jeans and a tee or yoga pants and a tee has helped my overall mood for the upcoming day.

What isn't working?

While I have a fair amount of tanks, I would like less clingy styles. The striped tank on June 4th is a perfect example. Way clingy! I feel like it shows off all my tummy flub. I just don't feel comfortable in those types of pieces.
Actually that whole outfit from June 4th is problematic. The plaid is old and a little too small. The tank is too clingy. The waistband of the capris tends to roll down. I was fixing myself all day. I think the capris are salvageable with a different style top.
My layering options are limited. It's either long sleeve cardigan (light blue or white) or one short sleeve brown one. Doesn't give me many options, so I fall back on those pieces a lot.

Thoughts going forward:

It's been an interesting experiment so far. I will definitely be continuing with this capsule for July and August.
I've already identified a few holes in my wardrobe.
- While I have loved my plaid button down shirt for almost 17 years, it's gotten faded and frayed (and a little tight). I will be looking out for a good neutral button down as a layering piece. (I buy these in the men's section)
- I would also like another short sleeve cover-up option. Maybe a shrug or cropped cardigan?
- Still looking for a great pair of brown sandals. I bought some at the beginning of June. They are cute but not very comfortable. I would like to find some good ones, but can deal with the ones I have for right now.

Outfit notes:

Worn 18 tops, 8 bottoms, 1dress
I had a few yoga pants and tee shirts day when I didn't leave the house (June 6th, 11th, 21st). But I'm okay with that. Three days in yoga pants in a month is a good number.
My favorite outfit of the month was from June 5th. I don't wear that skirt very often, but it is so comfortable and cute. Plus, it's long enough that I'm not in danger of flashing anyone. I need to find more tops to wear with it.
