Over four blog posts, I will be sharing images of my "capsule wardrobe collection" for a fantasy/dream holiday destination in the Sunshine State, ostensibly by a beach or riverbank. For those who may be unfamiliar, a "capsule wardrobe" is just a fancy name for a small collection/set number of clothing items that are able to be mixed & matched with each other to create many stylish outfits quickly & easily. The collection utilises a rather traditional "by the water" colour palette of blues & whites (augmented with pops of black & tan) & a myriad of patterns, prints & block colour. After taking aspects such as lifestyle, weather/temperature & itinerary into consideration, a multitude of fabrics & textures were included such as organic cotton, voile, textured jacquard, embroidered mesh, leather & woven straw. Scroll down to see the finished, documented looks (2 per post) in glorious photographs taken in my Aunt's beautiful Aussie garden & the further "mix & match" options provided below to create other amazing ensembles.

LOOK #7
Dress: And Other Stories jacquard
Sandals: Django & Juliette suede, laces
Bag: French Connection vinyl, pompoms
Hat: Asos woven straw, grosgrain ribbon

The seventh look features this darling baby blue textured jacquard mini dress with sweet puff sleeves & tie waist detailing from cool-girl British label And Other Stories, worn with a pair of comfortable-yet-stylish navy suede lace-up gladiator sandals from Django & Juliette, a navy vinyl crossbody bag with pompom strap from French Connection to carry all the holiday essentials & a black woven straw sunhat with floral grosgrain ribbon tie from Asos to ward off the sun's harmful rays.
For a different vibe, change up the navy accessories for a pair of tan leather sandals with ankle straps from Wittner, natural woven paper crossbody bag with extreme fringing from Asos & a pair of black resin "cat's eye" sunglasses from Sportsgirl to complete the look. All three items are pictured below:

LOOK #8
Dress: Anthea Crawford embroidered mesh, tulle
Cardigan: Collectif Vintage via That Shop knit, embroidery
Sandals: Django & Juliette suede, laces
Bag: French Connection vinyl, pompoms

The eighth & final look celebrates this divine frangipani embroidered & sequinned mesh A-line midi dress with tulle underlay from celebrated Australian designer Anthea Crawford, styled up for a dinner by the water with a cropped white knitted cardigan with navy "mermaid pin up" embroidery from Collectif via That Shop (draped around my shoudlers to ward off the chill in the air that seems ever-present when by the water), a pair of comfortably yet stylish navy suede lace-up gladiator sandals from Django & Juliette to dress the look down ever-so-slightly for a relaxed holiday location & a navy vinyl crossbody bag with pompom strap from French Connection to carry all the essentials.
A further option is to make the look just that little bit dressier for a more upscale location or celebration by swapping the gladiator flats for a vibrant pair of blue vegan leather deco heels from Kitten D'Amour, keeping the navy vinyl crossbody bag with pompom strap from French Connection & adding a pair of black resin sunglasses from Sportsgirl for that movie-star-on-holiday look that picks up on the more retro-inspired aspects of the ensemble. Once again, all items are pictured below:
