I’ve noticed this natural cadence to my style:
In spring, I want my outfits to feel new, exciting, inventive! I like wearing vibrant fits that honestly, might be doing a little too much, but I love it anyway.
In summer, I want to pare things back, relax, exhale. I crave simplicity because it feels like wearing the essence of a perfect summer.
Personally, I think both are good — simplicity mode AND doing-too-much mode. I switch between the two modes often. One isn’t better than the other.
But the further into we get into summer, the more simplicity calls to me.
This Everlane tank dress and Uniqlo bag aren’t reinventing the wheel, but that’s exactly why the outfit feels comforting and grounded.
Since there’s no peacocking here, it allows my little signatures to stay in focus. For me, today, that’s an anklet.
I can be wearing the most basic tee and running shorts, but if I have an anklet on, I feel a little shimmery.
Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, what about leaning into your signatures this summer? It doesn’t matter how small they are. What matters is that they make you feel like you, even in your most basic pieces. What are some of your little signatures?
Also! In case you want a little help with your signatures, I’m thrilled to tell you that I just soft-launched my personal styling sessions, available exclusively to blog readers.
Now you can book a one-on-one, hour-long FaceTime call with me! We’ll shop your closet and create new outfits with pieces you already own. You’ll be able to start wearing these outfits right away and — here’s the best part — there’s no need to buy new clothes!
For the remainder of June, you can book a styling session at my soft-launch introductory rate of $68. Once July hits, the rates go up, so snag a spot quick!
I’m so excited to do this with you! Got any questions? Drop ’em in the comments!

Hi Caroline
Do you offer styling sessions to buy new clothes.
Thanks
Marie
Hi Marie! Yes! We can talk about whatever you’d like during the session. If building your wardrobe out with some new clothes is your goal, I can definitely help with that. :)
This is so fun! What a great service!
Yes! I’ve been waiting for this! Similar question to Marie in the comments above. In addition to styling, would love help with a capsule similar to the work style one you did for your fiction client a few weeks back.
Yes! I can definitely do this kind of session too. :)
