Inspiration and JOY for a vibrant midlife
Happy New Year y’all! Today I’m taking a look back at my top ten favorites for 2022, including fashion items and beauty products. I’m also collaborating with my Coast to Coast Style Collective friends, so you’ll be able to see what they were loving last year. Looking back and taking inventory of what did or didn’t work is a great way to plan ahead and move forward, and maybe even clean out those closets to make room for new things!

I’m sharing today what I wore in Italy in October, along with a few things I wish I’d packed. This was indeed the trip of a lifetime, and one I highly recommend you add to your bucket list if you haven’t traveled to Italy before. I’m so glad I pre-planned my wardrobe! It took a little pressure off to have that part of my trip planned out. You may remember my travel capsule wardrobe post I shared with you before my trip, and believe me it was helpful to organize myself that way, but I definitely learned a few things once I arrived in Italy, and I can’t wait to share what I learned with you!

I’m thrilled to share a few fall travel capsule wardrobe ideas with you today. I’m hopping on a jet plane bound for Italy (oh my goodness, Italy! The food, the wine, the sights, the history! EEK!) in a few days, and I’ve been furiously shopping, planning, and stressing over what to pack and wear. Because that’s how I roll. I’ve been warned what NOT to pack or wear (which is what caused me the stress) and I’ve also been advised to pack as lightly as I can. So I created a capsule wardrobe for my trip that will be perfect for ANY trip you might be taking this fall. I’ve even included accessories!
