Minimalist Classic In Melbourne

This past weekend my mum and I went to Melbourne to celebrate her birthday. There’s nothing like escaping to Melbourne for a good dose of culture, shopping, eating, and coffee drinking!

This year I’m trying to maintain a minimalist but classic wardrobe, and I thought Melbourne was the perfect time to trial this new(ish) approach.

Trialling a minimalist wardrobe sounds like a fun challenge! Besides the year new also seems like a great time to declutter. I’d still like to focus on all the high street brands I love and wear on a regular basis, but add in a splash out piece every so often.

I’ll never strip colour out of my closet. I love colours and classic but contemporary details – i.e. this bag & shoe combo.

How cute is this bag?! The colour is divine, and the other colours have got me like – WHOA. See brownie/khaki, blue & electric blue. (Orange coming soon)

These shoes from Revolve Clothing are my new faves – the leather is so buttery soft!

I couldn’t resist Khaki but they also come in Whiskey.

Has anyone tried a minimalist approach to dressing? If so, I’d love your feedback on what worked (and maybe what didn’t!)

    Love your post! I want to de-clutter my style this year too. I love experimenting with different lipstick colours and its easier to do with a minimalist, classic wardrobe. I’m so over wasting time trying to match colours. Simplicity is the way to go!
