I halted style posts for the past several years because I no longer had the time to shoot photos outside of the home, let alone shop for clothes! I still never want to spend time going into stores, and often find myself browsing the internet with little luck on finding items I like! I have always loved the capsule concept for ease, affordability, and overall less consumption.

However, anyone else feel like it’s a wild goose chase to find items that aren’t crop top/plunge top/backless, under $100, and decent quality? I have heard many stories of shared frustrations, so I thought it would be fun to bring back a style series of the old blog days. I will do the hunting, styling and sharing on behalf of all of us searching for a simplified, comfortable, but feel good wardrobe! I can’t promise every Sunday, but I will try my best to share frequent finds I would recommend in this lovely grainy iphone photo format;)

Braided sandals (Run a tad small) // Buckle sandals // Pull on shorts // Rattan purse // Linen shorts

Notes:
Dress– Fits true to size. I love the cut and fit. This would work well with flats for a casual look or with heels for a little nicer occasion. There are a few different colors available as well.
Tops – Fit true to size! The gauze top is short length so if you don’t want it to be a crop top, it works best with high waist pants like the linen pair pictured.
Linen Pants – These would be good for the beach over a suit! They are a little sheer so I use these slip pants underneath for every day looks.
Sandals – Have been so impressed with the sandal selection at Target this year! Comfortable and affordable! I have been wearing the heeled pair with several outfits as well as the braided pair for every day.

I will try to cover varying stores and budgets! Today are all pieces from Target that work as a great base for a summer capsule. I would love to hear about some of your favorite places to shop since it’s seems to be slim pickings lately!

  • Love how this capsule keeps things simple yet expressive, it really shows how a few thoughtful pieces can define your whole look. That same idea applies to online style too. Even small details like how your name appears can add personality. I’ve been experimenting with different text styles lately, and tools like https://stylishnamees.com/ make it surprisingly easy to give your profile a subtle, creative edge without overdoing it.

  • Love how this capsule keeps things simple yet expressive summer style really is about small details making a big difference. I’ve noticed the same idea applies to personal touches online too. Even something as simple as a name or bio can feel more “styled” with the right look. I’ve played around with tools like https://stylishnamees.com/ for that kind of subtle creativity, and it’s surprisingly fun how little tweaks can elevate your overall vibe.
