My Fall Outfit Formula

Here’s a lil fall fit check featuring all of my closet staples –

When we moved to LA a few months ago, we had to downsize sooo much. My husband and I went from living in a two bedroom house to a 250 sq ft apartment with one tiny closet that we share. We packed up both of our compact cars with what we could fit and sold the rest. So when we moved, all of my clothing fit into two suitcases. I sold/donated half of my closet – that I will say was already pretty small.

It has been a challenge at times, but I’ve honestly been really enjoying trying to style my staples in more fun and interesting ways, especially as it (finally) starts to cool down enough in LA to start layering (!!!)

Lately, I’ve been wearing some iteration of this outfit multiple times per week –

A tank top layered under a button-up shirt, pair with some vintage denim or some other comfy pair of pants, finished off with a fun, neutral bag and socks and loafers.

tank top + button-up shirt + vintage denim + neutral handbag + socks + loafers = my perfect fall outfit

Between the different tank tops, button-ups (or other light layering pieces), and pant options I have, I can wear so many different versions of this outfit without literally wearing the exact outfit everyday – though I am a big fan of repeating outfits. After all, shopping your closet is the best way to be sustainable!

So if you’re into outfit repeating or seeing the same pieces styled several different ways — welcome! There’s a lot of that happening here and on my Instagram as well :) and if that’s you, then here’s to thriving with not many things and learning to really love a capsule wardrobe! 🥂
