My son Bryce has a capsule wardrobe. It sounds fancy, but it’s not. That means he has a selection of carefully selected clothes that are simple to mix and match, and there isn't a special number of shorts, pants, tees, etc. that make it a capsule or minimalist, in my opinion. I fully support capsule wardrobes for children. Curating one is one of the most helpful things you can do in the way of buying clothes for your littles. And although I've been trying to carefully curate one for Read More
Want a minimalist closet? Start with this tip.
Want a minimalist closet? Ready to pare down and pursue a more simple, streamlined closet with items that you truly love and wear? Me too. I was tired of having a closet full of clothes, yet seemed to have nothing to wear. Over the years, I spent money on trendy items that weren't truly me and as a result never really wore. I filled my wardrobe with items that didn't fit my current lifestyle (or were no longer my size, especially during/after pregnancy). And on the daily, I would experience Read More
Mom Minimalism Style: Simple Basics
The temps around Chicago have been unreal lately. And I’m not complaining. It was in the 70s the past two weekends and during the week and it’s been awesome. Lots of time outside, open windows, stroller runs and half marathon training around here. And this past weekend, we snapped back to the 50s and rain showers. Wa waaa. But back to the outfit. It’s as simple as it gets, really. I grabbed several of my tried-and-true simple, classic pieces and got an outfit out of it, perfect for spring. Read More
My Minimalism Style: Top Notch Tees from Tapered Collection

I wore this to work last week and snapped some photos once I got home (along with my trusty sidekick who wanted in and has a knack for posing-- especially with "accessories.") I picked up this skirt at J.Crew Factory off the clearance rack a couple weeks ago for crazy cheap. Since I've honed in on my style and am striving for a more streamlined, minimalist closet, I'm actually paring down my skirts and selling them Read More
Minimalism Style: Navy and Olive
Navy and olive are a combination I haven’t really reached for…until now. After being spoiled with unseasonably warm weather in Chicagoland, we were snapped back into reality with some temps in the 20s and 30s and that made me reach for my darker, winter-like color palette. I wore my Old Navy mid-rise sateen rockstar pants that I got last year (I own a pair in burgundy too, see here) along with this peplum-ish navy top to church. I added my handmade tassel necklace, which had similar colors to Read More
