Love this! Cannot wait for more fashion influencer content from you, Caissie!
I organize my closet by type (sleeveless, short sleeves, long sleeves, dresses, etc) and I used to organize by color within that, but then realized I found myself overlooking items because they're so similar in color. So at a quick glance I'd think "oh yeah, that blue shirt, nah dont want to wear that today" and move on to the next thing as I was deciding what to wear -- not realizing there was *another* blue shirt of nearly identical shade hiding behind it that I completely forgot I even owned. So now I intentionally separate tops of like colors so I am sure to see them in contrast to their neighbors! Could this problem also be solved by not owning so many damn clothes that I dont even remember what I have?! Absolutely, but I'm a pack rat and have a very hard time getting rid of things haha. Working on it!
Captivating! You will also NEVER catch me checking a bag! I’ve packed 15 days in Europe in a carry on and am absolutely prideful about that fact. You speak my language! Dare I ask for a link to the bamboo nightwear/ dress / island clothing? 😆🙏🏼 I sleep hot am always looking for night clothes to breathe!!
Other hero color/complementary color plus neutral palettes I could do little capsule wardrobes out of my closets right now. Red/teal with off white/beige for winter. Orange/green with tan for fall. Or Orange/teal with black for fall into winter. Yellow/red/blue, like Caillou wears, but it works! Purple/teal/mustard with brown for fall. These are just some ideas! Not even really getting into neons or pastels (which I admittedly don't wear much of). I want to hear what combos you all are thinking of trying! Or, if you have a color you want to wear & need help making it work, or a print, describe it & maybe I can make a suggestion!
Caillou!!! Ha ha ha.. Caissie, you crack me up! I am loving navy/reddish orange with Dark beige (is a dark beige a thing?), and teal/rust with black. I love hearing your color ideas. I am not creative at all, and it helps to have these suggestions. Thank you!
The way you explain things is so entertaining and informative and uncomplicated. I wish you could be the one to always explain things to me lol. I also wish had 1/10th of your style. I am so here for your fashion influencer journey!!
Love this - thanks Caissie! Tiny tangent question: did you take the Beis regular or mini Weekender on the plane? I’m trying to decide which one to get!
This is really helpful, thank you! From what I've seen it definitely seems like the regular one is great for a weekend car trip but the mini is the way to go if you want it to fit under an airplane seat :)
Super helpful! I organize my closet by color - but I guess not quite as committed as you’ve explained...I still keep tanks/sweaters/blazers a little separate.
Anyone else feel like they want to scrap their entire closet and start totally fresh? Shopping trip! Haha
Now I WANT a color wheel. Not that I am likely to use it. Though I have been inserting more color into my wardrobe because I want my outsides to match my insides. I think that is the challenge of shopping for me. In the past I have tended to buy drab staples because I THINK they will be more useful.
Also, It's the shoes for me. I just can't find any that excite me AND are comfortable.
What kind of shoes are comfortable for ya? I'm an avid shoe shopper (if not always a buyer) & maybe it'll spark an idea of something that could work for you!
AND FINALLY, Caissie I have an idea- if we send you pics of our clothes from our closet can you style one or two of us as a treat? SINCE YOURE A FASHION INFLUENCER NOW
This is fucking brilliant. My closet is arranged by color just like yours but I have never used it this way!! CONSIDER ME INFLUENCED.
This is a damn delight. I will 100% use this on my next trip!

I have a bunch of different brands! WiWi I know is one?
Thanks Caissie!
What I learned from this is a) I have to set fire to my extremely disorganized closet and b) I need you to style me, Caissie!

I took the regular one, but I was truly pushing it. I am going to order the mini for my next trip!
(Also I just bought a set, so I have truly been INFLUENCED! Thanks for your help!)

I love that: “outsides match my insides” 💖 I share your wardrobe challenges!!
Thanks for the advice! Capsule wardrobes sound easy in theory, but I'm not good with them. You gave me some tips I'll definitely use!
Thank You for taking the time to write ✍️ and take photos of your capsule. You are so thoughtful & I appreciate you!!❤️
Excellent writing. Loved reading it. Informative and funny. :-) xo
