Transition: Phasing out a secondary neutral

I repeatedly make the questionable choice of including beige or khaki in my summer wardrobe... sigh...  it's not a great color for me.  So here, in addition to addressing the idea of moving toward warmer clothes, and buying with a purpose, I'm also showing a move from one color in a wardrobe to a different one.

Remember, this was the summer Whatever's Clean wardrobe:

 First, because I'm starting to really feel like beige isn't working well, the 2 beige pieces are going to take a back seat. And of course white linen pants aren't going to go too far into the fall...

 Here's where grey takes the place of beige, and a pair of jeans will replace the white linen pants.

 Second step:  the sleeveless black dress, and the two white tops, and due for a vacation...

The easiest possible swaps - a sleeveless dress replaced by a long-sleeved dress, and a white long-sleeved shirt will take the place of the tee shirt.  And instead of a casual white top, a casual grey top...

 Solid black garments can easily be worn 12 months... but for the sake of illustration we'll give a vacation to the cotton tank top, the cotton cardigan/button front top, and the black capris.

 I can't say enough positive about this striped top... And a grey cashmere cardigan- but zip-front instead of the more expected buttoned.  Grey knit pants put us in a very good position for cooler weather.

 The beige pieces do look uncomfortable in this ensemble, but since all wardrobes are a work in process, and are always in transition, this is not an unusual thing to see in a well-planned closet.
