Trying to scale back for warm climate

As I plan to pack away some of my warmer clothing to leave behind on a coming trip home to CA, I can feel myself wanting to keep a certain number, 'just in case'. I am thinking 2 jeans - white skinnies and TR BF's, 2 long sleeved shirts - classic white button front and a light poly weave berry with convertible tab sleeves, and 2 jackets - crop blush moto, and white Zara BFish blazer. Oh, and 2 sweaters - grey sweatshirt style with zippers and red classic cardi.
Surely this is more than enough for what promises to be temps over 75 from here until I leave (in fall). http://www.weather.com/weather.....raph/34428 One could argue that I need even less than this. But, I actually want to have more. I guess it's like those of you who switch out your closets seasonally. I've never done that, and it feels weird to not have all of my stuff here even now, when the weather is more varied and there's more opportunity to wear it all. (for this winter I've had about 5 or 6 items in each category)
I'm hoping this is a good mix to keep my just in case needs satisfied, and also have enough crossover utility that they can actually be worn in FL weather if paired with the right other, lighter items.
As for heavier footwear, I'm only keeping the taupe studded hi top sneakers and taking all boots back with me.
Assure me, this will be plenty! Would you keep more, or less? Or about the same?

You should be fine with your plans. Florida is HOT in the summer.

Sounds like a smart plan, Mo. I think these items will cover any cooler weather you may have down there between now and Fall.

I might think about if there is one pair of boots that would offer something the sneakers don't, but otherwise, I think you are set for chilly movie theaters and restaurants and the like. Also, even very tropical places can get chilly before dawn or very late at night if you are out and about during those times at all

I count at least 15 mix and match outfits. Sounds like plenty to me.

Thx. It's the fear of not having what I might want. It's silly. I might ditch the white button front (I've worn it twice, so it's not a workhorse by any means) and bring back my olive linen moto instead. And I really want to bring back my red moto jeans, too. Yes, jeans are kinda a goofy choice for hot, but the red somehow screams warm weather style to me. Maybe because I remember wearing them in Miami, and also here when I first bought them. So I largely associate them with warm weather.
