BUILDING A SUMMER CAPSULE WARDROBE PART 2: GATHERING INSPIRATION

May 17, 2023capsule wardrobe, style + outfits

Now that we know the types of outfits we wear on a weekly basis (if you have no idea what I’m talking about head to part 1), it’s time for the fun part! Gathering inspiration for your summer capsule wardrobe! Go through your screenshots, saved content on Instagram, and pinterest boards. Organize them in one place (either a folder on your phone/computer or start a new board). Make sure what you’re saving is consistent with your findings from Part 1. Take into consideration any vacations, special events, or weddings you plan on attending over the summer.

I’ve started a pinterest board you can pull from HERE.

And here’s a playlist to get you in the summer mood.

Once your roundup of outfit inspiration is finished (or mostly finished), write a list of any clothing items and accessories that look consistent or stand out to you. Based on the pinterest board linked above, my list would include: overalls, white/cream denim, (hair)scarves, button downs (basics, denim, and colorful), girlie tops, a casual LBD, white and black tanks and tees, colorful tees, strapless top, belt, fun purse, pull-on shorts, etc.

Fun, right!? Feel free to share your inspo in an email or DM and I’ll see you next week for Part 3 where we’ll be shopping our closets!

xx, Rae

5 things I 🫶🏽 about my skincare routine: 1. 5 things I 🫶🏽 about my skincare routine:

1. It’s simple, toxin free, and effective.
2. The price is similar to what you’d spend at target but the ingredients are clean and brand is cute and accessible 🤗.
3. The formulas are multitaskers so you don’t need a million steps - a cleanser to clean and calm, toner to tighten, brighten, and balance, and a serum to heal, hydrate, and protect your skin! (Bonus: all of them have anti-aging properties)
4. They’re gentle enough to share with the fam… The glow serum has worked wonders on Poppy’s scars from her scooter accident a month and a half ago! 
5. A clean and glowing face is really the best way to start or wind down from the day.

SIMPLE SWEET POTATO KALE SALAD ✨ The perfect sal SIMPLE SWEET POTATO KALE SALAD ✨
The perfect salad to serve as a side or bring to a get-together, during the fall and winter months!!!

Scroll for recipe or use link in bio! 

YOU’LL NEED:
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch chunks
olive oil, to taste
2 tablespoons corn starch
S&P, to taste
1 bunch kale, stemmed
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1/2 red onion, finely diced
1 lemon, juiced
1/2 cup parmesan, shredded
option: add meat or protein of choice to make it a meal!

HERE’S HOW:
Preheat oven to 425. Toss diced sweet potatoes in olive oil, corn starch, and salt. Spread sweet potatoes out on a rimmed backing dish in a single layer (the more space they have, the crispier they’ll get). Bake in oven, flipping potatoes every 15 minutes until cooked through and crispy on the edges.
While sweet potatoes cook, prep kale and red onion. In a small bowl or jar with lid, pour 1/4 cup (or less or more to taste), lemon juice, and salt and pepper. Whisk or shake together.
In a large bowl, add kale, sweet potatoes, onions, pumpkin seeds, and parmesan. Toss together with your olive oil dressing and enjoy!
