Late Summer Outfit with Neglected Pieces

Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog!

Continuing the theme from last week's post,

 I am looking in my closet,

 and pondering what I would like to wear

 before the summer ends and the weather changes

How about you,

 are you thinking along these same lines?

This white denim skirt and bow sandals

stood out to me as having mostly been left out this summer

So, I decided to build an outfit around them

To make the outfit with the left out skirt and sandals,

I chose a black and white three-quarter sleeve blouse

with a scoop neck, in a bold grid pattern

The skirt is a button front style in white denim,

 and knee length

The sandals have three straps in multi neutral colors

with tuxedo bow detail and block heels 

I was able to give the stragglers one more wear,

before packing them away for next spring and summer!

Accessorizing the outfit with this leather shoulder bag-

 for a bright pop of turquoise color

For summer jewelry, I chose a few simple pieces

 A turquoise stone expansion bracelet,

 and chunky textured hoop earrings

A few more accessories

 to make this one really matchy matchy! 

A black leather belt and a turquoise,

 black and white geometric print scarf around my neck

As adorable as these sandals are,

 I thought I was going to wear them a lot more

They turned out to be a little bit difficult to style

I think it is because of their very bold design

 

Here is a previous neutral black and white outfit

from summer 2022,

also accessorized with pops of turquoise color!

Last week I finished up my series

 documenting the items that left my closet

 in an unusual big spring and summer purge!

Though I am done editing

 my spring and summer wardrobe for now,

  I think I might continue this series,

 and go through all of the seasons 

I have an upcoming fall and winter consignment appointment,

and think I might review those things

 and include them in some upcoming fall posts,

  later in September

Documenting my wardrobe clear out

  has proven to be so valuable!

There was a lot of hedging, 

and numerous items came out of the consignment bag,

and went back into my closet-

I have to be sure before saying goodby forever!

I rarely look back on my photos from previous seasons,

 unless I am looking for something specific

 This exercise has been a good reason

 for me to revisit some past looks

 and take inspiration from my own former outfits

Also, to notice the evolution of my style

and relive some comical choices and trends!

Keep an eye on this space 

 if you are interested in continuing to share

  this journey with me

Hope you all enjoy your week!
