If You Think You're a Minimalist, Watch Me Change Your Mind With These 30 Pieces

My personal style is constantly evolving. Winter months have me clinging to minimalist style staples with the hopes of simply staying warm through the frigid NYC temps. But come spring and summer, I immediately whip out the brightest of colorways and splashy prints.
They say to dress for the life you want to have, and I want mine to be fun, so join me in pressing pause on the elevated minimalist aesthetic that's taken hold on your Pinterest board, and try something different. The below pieces are so good that even people famous for their minimalist aesthetic—think Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy or Matilda Djerf—would spend a day as a maximalist just to wear them.
I've tried these myself, and they won my approval.
I have a hot-pink midi skirt that I've been living in, so I'm telling all of my friends to buy this one.
I also own this dress, and it's a vibe.
Okay, one more thing that I own but can't stop obsessing over are these bold shoes.
