This month was a wonderful mix of cooler and warmer days, and it was so nice to finally fully pack away the tights and boots for the summer. However, I haven’t *quite* gotten all the summer stuff out yet and I’ve really been enjoying those days where I don’t need heat OR air conditioning in the house (and so does my wallet).
Let’s take a look at my May looks:
All the jewel tones at the beginning of this month! I am not a pastel-loving kind of girl, so give me some saturated colors and I’m pretty darn happy. While I typically go for patterned skirts and dresses, for these three outfits I went with the solid skirts and then worked in the patterns with my tops.
Out of these three outfits, the middle blouse may be hitting the donate pile. I’m going to try it again with some denim shorts this summer before making up my mind.
More skirt combos — I’m basically working my way through my entire skirt collection to decide what stays and what goes. And I like all of these combos, so it looks like nothing gets purged from this set out outfits.
Three more casual outfits for my weekends — I’m kind of obsessed with that first skirt. I thrifted it in Tuscan and I’ve been wearing it on repeat because it makes me so happy! Also, with the warmer weather I’m switching to ‘crossbody purse season’ and I’m excited to start using my vintage Coach finds!
Once again, nothing gets purged from this set of outfits and you will be seeing all of these pieces again and again this summer.
Last outfit — which is what I’m wearing to work today. I thrifted this skirt over the weekend, washed it, hemmed it (it previously had a high-low hem) and couldn’t hold off from wearing it ASAP! No purge items here either!
New vs. Secondhand Talley
This month, I count 14 items that I purchased retail and 21 items I purchased secondhand! And wow, it was a month of skirts — out of the 10 skirts from this post, 5 were purchased retail and 5 were purchased secondhand.
