Hello.

Dee has a great post about struggling with white tops, liking the look, but not actually wearing the pieces. You can find it here and thanks Dee for starting that thread.

That post made me realize, that while I try to keep a carefully curated wardrobe, some pieces are going to slip through the cracks.

Then Angie posted today about Angie's Outfit Formula: Summery Olive and Black and I realized I could recreate this look, and I also haven't worn these outfits at all this summer. You can find my Olive and Black or Black and Olive outfits here. The ironic thing is, I like the pairing of Olive and Black, but I just am not wearing it.

This sent me down the rabbit hole of really analyzing my summer wardrobe this year and I realized that I have a few other pieces I'm not wearing.

Here they are:

1. and 2. Black on Black
I swapped the Olive top in my Olive and Black or Black and Olive post for the black one for a column of black. It's how I envisioned wearing this when I purchased the top and I haven't reached for this outfit at all.

3. and 4. Stripes and Black
This was the other top I purchased this season from WHBM and how I planned to wear it. Again I haven't reached for it once.

I think all the outfits from the Olive and Black or Black and Olive post and the one's in this post look fine, but I'm not reaching for them. My conclusion is that's because my summer outfit formula has been shorts/pants paired with graphic t's and sneakers, not solid tops and sandals.

It brings up an interesting question, donate these items at the end of the season or hold and see if I change my style next year?

Thanks for looking!
