With summer’s arrival on the horizon and holidays fast approaching, my sights are turning to evolving my wardrobe. I’ve had my first pedicure of the year already and have even (slowly) started trying to slip my Birkenstock’s into any outfit I can. While it may seem premature, my wardrobe switchover is pretty much complete, and I have stowed away my winter warmers to be replaced by maxi dresses and linen fabrics.

There’s nothing I love more than summer dressing—light fabrics, floaty silhouettes and an array of sandal styles and accessories to top it all off. But, as I get older, I’ve taken a more sustainable approach to shopping, and years ago I might have filled my wardrobeswith new, inexpensive pieces that would barely last the season, but now, I take a much more considered approach.
