    Thanks for the video, Christina! To me, this is indeed the perfect summer wardrobe. I live in a colder climate too, so summer is a bit of my "fantasy season," meaning that it's my favorite season to shop for and it gets me the most inspired (because I can finally go out without a puffer jacket and in white sneakers). The downside to this is that I have way more summer clothers than I actually need, and not even half of those clothes can be worn in any other season (for example, I don't wear dresses in autumn, winter and spring because it's too cold for that (at least for me) where I live, none of my light trousers go well with my autumn and winter boots, all of my T-shirts and shirts are too cold to wear in autumn and winter even under a puffer jacket... You see the picture). So I'm learning how to minimize my closet, and your channel is a big help. Thanks for making this type of content for all the wannabe minimalists out there 😄

    Thank you for sharing your wardrobe with us and some tips! I live in North Idaho USA where we go from cold and rainy to hot pretty quickly so without the adaptation, I definitely need the coolest wardrobe possible, pun intended 🤭. I’m not sure what’s going on with organic basics? Their site seems to be completely down and they have gone silent. A Small Wardrobe/Create Authentic Style just talked about this in her latest video. I personally don’t wear black anymore, I haven’t since spring so across to seasons now, I don’t even miss it! I just looked so drained and my hair always looked brassy even right after getting it toned, over black.! I may incorporate it again for the fall and winter but for now, I’m really enjoying lighter neutrals and mid tones. I am amazed that you are just now getting on the Birkenstock train! For a little while, I refused to wear them because that’s what everyone else wore, but I couldn’t resist too long either. I now have the anthracite metallic arizonas, soft footbed, and they are amazing! Since wearing their professional clog at work in the hospital for the last seven months, I just can’t go back to wearing non-supportive footwear. The challenge with that now is finding more dainty shoe styles that are still supportive. I did find a pair of vintage Dr. Martin sandals in the perfect brown color in excellent condition this summer for really cheap and I am thrilled. They have been a staple for me this summer to add some height because they are platform, without being a heel. Happy remainder of the summer to you Christina!

    Love your content. You are respectful of choice in your suggestions. Just wanted to point out that black and white suit you because of the contrast of your light skin and dark hair. It really suits you. Many choose the same formula without realizing that light or mid tones ( lower contrast) suit them better. It took me a long time to figure this out for myself!! The colours you’ve chosen are “ on trend” too. To be clear they look great on you! Thanks

    I really struggle with shorts, I've just given up. They always fit me weird, whether I get my size or size up, or make me look like a hobbit. Lol. I'm a sucker for linen and thinner cotton trousers and skirts, so that ends up carrying me. I like the climate I live in because it's only super hot for a few weeks, and is otherwise pleasant enough to wear longer line clothing and transitional pieces. Also I love nippies! I got a size too big I think, but I'm glad they've expanded their shade range too so everyone can wear them :) free the nip won't work for me, I have quite a large chest.

Terroni also has a great patio - they’re an Italian place with a few locations downtown and midtown. Book ahead!

    Hello, I`m curious about how many clothes you have and how many outfits you wear per day/week? I wear a lot of the same type of clothes all the time and was wondering if I should only have the minimal amound of clothes? Do you do complete closet changes? So when you are bored of your clothes or if they don`t work anymore, do you just get new things? I usually get bored really fast of trendy items or items for special moments. I`m thinking about sticking to 2 colors from now on. How many colors do you have in your color palette? I know these are quite a view questions, I hope you have the time to answer them. Kind regards, Tamara
