So you’re getting ready for your trip, and you’re super excited. So of course, before starting to pack, you have to think, Okay, where am I going? What’s the weather gonna be like? What am I going to be doing? Those are really important things. And if you want to go as far as creating a little mood board for yourself, maybe on Pinterest, but thinking about maybe, okay, what’s the destination? What are the colors? Like, what do I want to be wearing, just a little bit of visualization, I think is really nice.

I’m not going to tell you where I’m going, but follow me on Instagram. And you’ll see, but I’ll be going to the coast of Europe. And I know that I will be definitely dressing up a lot more than I dress up now in California. So I need outfits that are a lot more elevated, I’m going to have daytime wear, I’m going to have evening wear and I will be also maybe in the nighttime going out on a boat. And so I will want something a little bit more warm thinking of 20 pieces all at once feels overwhelming. So I break it down into three clusters. The first cluster is going to be casual wear, and the second cluster is going to be more evening elevated wear. And for the third cluster. Well, for the most part, I’m going to be wearing warm-weather clothes. So I want something a little bit warmer, just in case the weather turns. The process that I use again, it’s a capsule collection. But I create these like mini clusters.

And so what I do in the first cluster, this is one that I put together for pants, so sometimes in the evenings that might get obviously cooler. And so I run it and make sure I brought enough pants with me. So I have three pairs of pants. And then I have three tops. And then I have one linen kind of like long sleeve shirt that’s going to like pull these outfits together. So I’ve got these like again, like linen, wider-leg pants. These are all kind of similar styles because I am going to more of like a beach town. And so it calls for this style, but again, it’s like three pants.

And then in this next cluster here, I have three skirts, and then three tops, and then one outside layer. And again, it’s like white, I bought a jeans skirt and then a black skirt, three tops. So you can see also that the tops from here will also work for here and the tops from here will work for here everything’s going to be able to kind of interchange.

Okay, and then here’s my third cluster, same thing I have three bottoms, two tops, and oops, I forgot my outer layer. I have this shirt here. And so that as you can see kind of all works together. This is actually a set but these are all shorts. So I have three pairs of shorts, I’ve got skirts there and then pants so I know that I’m pretty sad when it comes to again like the diversity of shorts, pants, and skirts. And everything is going to intermix and these are like short sleeves. These are all short sleeves, but these are tank tops. And these are more with sleeves just for a little bit warmer just in case. So as you can see these are my three clusters.
