Her experiment of packing just teal and white was so much fun, she decided to try the same idea with a different accent color.
Her painting inspiration is this:
She had always had the persimmon/berry color in mind; this is her color palette so far:
She’s taking the same six pieces of white clothing, but she’s changed up some of her silver accessories for gold things. These small changes can feel like they make a huge difference!
necklace – BaubleBar; earrings – Joiana Jewelry; cotton sweater – L.L.Bean; linen shirt – Eileen Fisher; tee shirt – L.L.Bean; white linen pants – Caslon; white linen cropped pants – Caslon; crossbody bag – MZ Wallace; Bermuda shorts – GAP; tote bag- Lands’ End; sneakers – Naturalizer; ballet flats – Schutz; sandals – Bella Vita
She finally found the red that she wanted – a color that Eileen Fisher calls grenadine. Accessories were a bit easier to find in this color than they were with teal!
Grenadine hooded jacket – Eileen Fisher; necklace – BaubleBar; huggie earrings – Mint & Lily; sleeveless linen top – Eileen Fisher; tee shirt – Eileen Fisher; bandana – Echo; bracelet – Ebru Jewelry; jersey shorts – Eileen Fisher; linen pants – Eileen Fisher; sneakers – Vionic
She thinks that this long weekend travel capsule wardrobe feels both summery and festive:
As before, she’s not going to have to hang around the beach house trying to figure out what to wear; if she knows the weather, and what they’re planning to do, she will be ready in a heatbeat.
Here are a few possibilities:
I’ve got one more idea about this heroine and her wardrobe…

p.s. Ten years ago, I shared a wardrobe dilemma with you, as well as a packing plan for Florida. For what it’s worth, the two cardigan about which I was fretting are long gone from my wardrobe…
Like this summer wardrobe? Save it to Pinterest!
Love this shade of red! It pumps up the wardrobe. I would throw some black pieces and feel ready for anything. Looking forward to combining the two wardrobes!
On the look back, it’s hilarious that the two cardigans are gone! Sometimes is true that we need items to close some gaps and get more mileage out of a thing. Others, it’s just wise to go with our gut and let go of things that for whatever reason don’t work. Here, it wasn’t the colors (evidently), so maybe one looked odd closed, or maybe -like me- you don’t like printed 2d layers as much. I like the idea and maybe how it looks in others, but everytime I try it, my reaction is a big nope!
