Welcome to the Summer Style Blog Tour!!!

This week we are going to be taking a look at how easy it is to get your perfect summer wardrobe - no matter what your style. We've got inspiration photos, we'll talk about fabric choices, and of course we'll have some fun hacks along the way. PLUS, tomorrow we'll be introducing a brand new pattern to WWD - the Summer Dress. Seriously, you aren't going to want to miss a moment!

Today we're kicking the week off with a look at Patricia's mini Summer Style Capsule. She's showing the ease with which you can mix and match staple patterns by using a color story. She's sewn up five pieces that include the Classic Shift, Twin Peaks Cardigan, Sporty Skirt and Essential Summer Shorts. I just love the versatility of the pieces that she has chosen and I know you will too. Patricia blogs at Sew Far North - so head on over and check out her full blog post!!!

Speaking of Capsules....I like to design myself travel capsules for trips. The last one I did was for my trip to Mexico. You can check out the mix and match pieces here using the Boho Breeze, Real Deal Jeans Shorts, and Magnolia Top. These were some of the real photos from that trip:

*yep that's my handsome hubby, and the guy who literally keeps WWD running behind the scenes!

So it's been a few years and we're unexpectedly getting to go on another trip that requires a capsule wardrobe - there is nothing better than a small carry on bag and a fun destination to make you think about how different pieces can work together without taking up a lot of space. I'm not telling you where I'm going yet...you'll have to wait until Friday to find that out, but I'll be posting clues and having pop up giveaways all week in our FB Group!
