We hiked something like five miles in three hours (yes, my legs are still very, very sore) and spent most of that time chatting away about everything and nothing. It was a really great chance to catch up with each other while enjoying Auburn’s beauty. Since this hike was longer and a bit more strenuous than our previous hike, I decided to be prepared with the essentials. I think it’s pretty neat that they all ended up being zero waste because I didn’t even have that in mind as I packed everything up. It just goes to show how small steps really can add up!

I’ve officially been doing the capsule wardrobe project for a year! This winter’s capsule is my fifth and I’m super excited about it!

I decided to base my process on Anushka’s capsule wardrobe building methods this time. Basically, I examined what my favorite outfits and go-to pieces in my closet were and created a uniform and color palette from those elements.

I read somewhere that limits spark creativity. I think I’ve always heard it in reference to financial limits or time constraints, but I think the idea works with capsule wardrobes, too. 37 items. One season. It basically forces you to get creative!

I got a call last week from a number I didn’t recognize. I usually screen these calls but I’d been on the job hunt and I forced myself to pick up the phone. It was from a possible employer! I set the interview for the next morning.
