My Armoire

 

As a former clothing COLLECTOR (hoarder-squirrel ๐Ÿฟ️!) this is a new frontier for me —

Wear your SEASONAL (shop once quarterly max) wardrobe so much that there is no question as to whether you love and keep the clothing longer OR, NO QUALMS, they’ve fulfilled their destiny and you don’t! 

Mountain Mama Summer Wardrobe, as of Late July:
๐Ÿ’škeep ๐Ÿ’›this is its last season ❤️already out the door  ๐Ÿ’™hmmm๐Ÿง

๐Ÿ’›Silver espadrilles - wearing through
❤️Black river shoes (pictured above) - stretched from last Summer, already said See Ya (poubelle)
๐Ÿ’›Flip-flops - maintaining
๐Ÿ’›Crazy Crocs - worse for wear, as used for all hikes and most bikes
๐Ÿ’›Purple bandana bikini - hanging on for dear life
๐Ÿ’›White & Blue One piece - yellowing at edges 
๐Ÿ’™Tomato soup cashmere sweater - soft as ever, maybe showing age?
๐Ÿ’›Skull Sweater - last hurrah 
๐Ÿ’šPrairie skirt (pictured) - good to go ๐Ÿ˜… 
๐Ÿ’š2x Shorts - just fine 
๐Ÿ’šTaupe linen pants - surprisingly great
๐Ÿ’šFlowered cross-body bag (pictured) - still fresh 
๐Ÿ’›Rose tote - wilting
๐Ÿ’™2x Camisoles and 2x T’s - washing well
๐Ÿ’šSweats - new this trip :)
๐Ÿ’šPJ’s - beddable 
๐Ÿ’šSilk Dress - unfortunately unworn since childcare disappeared into thin air ๐ŸŒฌ️ 
๐Ÿ’šShiny amethyst long cardigan - keeper
๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’œJewels - lovely and sentimental as ever.๐Ÿ’• 

The forced Capsule Collection that comes inherently with travel is blissful. My dear friend says all of her belongings (ALL!?) would “fit into an armoire”. What a beautiful image and, sigh, dare I say, Holy Grail, in these excessive times.
