For my summer capsule wardrobe I decided to have a monthly edit, instead of keeping it the same for the entire season. It's been really nice to swap it around a little.

I put this together during the last week of August and even though I've worn shorts this month already it does seem a little daft to have three pairs in this capsule. As I sit here and type the world outside is grey and chilly!

This month I removed nine items and added four new ones. I need to mend my green skirt as the zip now only goes 2/3rds of the way up, and the red floral skirt needs the hem repaired. It's frayed quite badly. It seems that 90% of the mending I do is to repair frayed seams, it's maddening. (Since starting to write this the hem on my green dress has frayed too!!).

I've still got plenty of summer clothes in this capsule, we did have a few lovely sunny days at the beginning of the month, but it has turned cooler. If the sunny weather is over (although I hold out hope for a few more sunny days), I know that I have plenty of cooler weather options should I need them (see below). The great thing about midi and maxi skirts and dresses is that you can add tights if it's really cold, but if it's just a little on the chilly side they offer enough coverage for warmth.


I've already started looking at my autumn capsule, I know that I need another pair of jeans and another jumper so I'm on the look out. I'll be spoilt for choice on the jumper front but I'm not looking forward to the hunt for jeans!
