June’s Capsule Wardrobe + 37 Styled Outfits…

We’re officially on summer break tomorrow afternoon, when Harper gets out of school, and then we head to Hawaii first thing Saturday morning. It’s been so cold and dreary here these past several days, that the warm sun sounds so glorious! We’ll be meeting my parents there, so looking forward to some relaxation, family time, and easing into the summer season…

But before I sign off for the next 10 days, I wanted to get June’s Capsule wardrobe posted. I did it a bit differently this time around, with the styled outfits being included with the initial capsule (as opposed to giving a list of outfits and styled photos in a later post)… and with last month’s pieces that were included for June, I have 37 outfits below… so hopefully there are enough to choose from to get through the month. You could easily create more with these pieces as well…

A few notes about the capsule…

Since this is the first month of summer, there is a bit more of an overhaul to the collection… I’ve replaced tees with tanks, removed most of the “sweats,” taken out coats and jackets, and wove in more linen pieces, since I tend to gravitate towards this lightweight fabric in the summer season. I didn’t include a pair of “lounge” shorts, mainly because this pair and this pair of linen shorts have elastic waists, so they’re really great for just about any activity… play dates, lunch dates, BBQ… and can be dressed up, or elevated a bit more, depending on the top you select (I’m loving this strapless top, which I styled 7 ways here)….

I still kept in two pairs of jeans, mainly because I think in the first month of summer the evenings can be chilly, so I still find myself reaching for them. I kept with the straight leg style in both the denim color and cream color…

And, in wanting to keep with a striped pullover, I removed the JK Chloe crewneck (mainly because it’s sold out) and wove in this lighter weight henley option I purchased from Sézane last June…. but any striped pullover you have will work perfectly… so if you don’t have either of those, just use this as a guide.

Other than that, the “new” pieces I wove in aren’t really “new” but more or less new to this month’s capsule… I’ve already worn these items during other seasons, previous years, or within the past month, so that I know they will be great summer staples…

I haven’t decided if I will be doing a July capsule yet, mainly because we will be out of town for the first two weeks of July… but if I don’t, these pieces will still work in the July month as well… and if I do, I will only be adding in 2-3 new pieces, maybe items I feel would enhance this “summer capsule” a bit more. And that might include a dress, skirt, and maybe one other top, just to more fully round things out. So it would be more of a “Summer Capsule.”

And with that, I hope the below can be helpful in some way as you head into the month of June. Have a wonderful weekend, and week, ahead!
