Charleston Travel Capsule Wardrobe
As midlife women, we are, in general, chronic overpackers. (I once had to sit on my friend’s luggage while we drove around Scotland because they packed SEVEN suitcases between the two of them. Seriously.) But travel capsule wardrobes are the solution to overpacking – and needless airline baggage fees. But utilizing a travel capsule wardrobe can minimize what you have to pack while maximizing the outfits you can create. Today I am going to show you what to pack for a weekend getaway to Charleston, South Carolina…using only a carry-on suitcase.

5 Ways to Style It – Striped Tee
I recently implemented a fashion spending rule: if I can think of at least 5 ways to style a new item with existing items in my closet, then I can buy it. But if not, I have to put it back.

Actually, I was able to style EIGHT outfits from the striped tee…all from items already in my closet. All of these outfits are appropriate for women over 40, women over 50, and women over 60.

So here is my morning skincare routine. While you can see the product names in the video, I’m sharing everything along with links below. Other than this, I don’t do facials.
