I feel like I’ve been planning my spring capsule wardrobe in my head for months and I'm so excited to finally be able to share it! In the past, I've switched over my seasonal capsule wardrobe on the first day of spring. But after doing this for the past 5 years, I know it's better for me to hold out until April rolls around. After a few rounds of editing, my spring capsule wardrobe…
I like to keep a running wish list of things that I'd like to add to my capsule wardrobe each season. As a recovering shopaholic, a "wish list" helps me be a more intentional consumer and keeps me from slipping back into my old ways. I also try to be as sustainable as possible with my clothing purchases which means that I purchase the majority of my clothing items secondhand. A wish list is…
I’ve been wearing my spring capsule wardrobe for a few weeks now. And I’m really enjoying the selection of clothing that I’ve chosen but I did make a few changes. It all started when I came across my ideal spring coat this weekend. Navy, lightly quilted, no collar and the perfect length. It was a little expensive at $27 for a secondhand coat but it’s in excellent condition and I knew I would wear…
I’m a big advocate of buying less and appreciating what you already own but I don’t always act accordingly. The last part of 2021 and even the first last of 2022 had me feeling adrift with my wardrobe. When I created my spring capsule wardrobe, I started to feel inspired again. I could see so many possibilities. So I figured why not go a step further and create a mini capsule wardrobe?!? It’s been…
My spring capsule wardrobe is complete! I think I put more thought into this capsule than all the others I've done, combined. I also think this is my most practical capsule yet! I’ve moved a little away from curating my wardrobe over the past few years. I was content with that I had for the most part and, like the rest of the world, I had a lot of other things to deal with.…
I've been having a on/off relationship with capsule wardrobes since last summer, when I decided to just not do one. But once fall rolled around, which is my favorite season for fashion, I put one together again. Only to give up on it shortly after. Which led me into a bit of an identity crisis. Who was I if I didn't have a capsule wardrobe? I had let a capsule wardrobe become the thing…
I decluttered my entire wardrobe. Again. And then I created a capsule wardrobe. Again. What can I say? I just can't quit them. This capsule is a little different than my previous capsule wardrobes because it’s not a season specific capsule. Instead, it’s a cold weather capsule wardrobe that will see me through the rest of fall, the entire winter and part of spring. By all minimalist accounts, I still have a lot of…
I'm done with my seasonal capsule wardrobe. At least for the foreseeable future. It seems weird to write that only a week after publishing my fall capsule wardrobe post. But it doesn't feel right. I should be excited about it but I'm not. If anything, I feel really uninspired and restricted. Maybe I got too far ahead of myself. I wanted to start my capsule on September 21st. But, aside from a few cooler…
Right on the heels of unveiling my colorful fall capsule wardrobe, I thought it would be good timing to also show you my fall shoe capsule. Brace yourself...there's a few pairs of platforms. Shocking, I know. I don't typically include shoes or coats in with my clothing capsule wardrobe count. While some people love handbags or sweaters or jewelry, my main weaknesses are shoes and outerwear. I'm pretty good at resisting buying another dress…
34 items. That's the final count on my fall capsule wardrobe. A collection of dresses, blazers, shirts and pants that will see me through the next 3 months. After putting together my preliminary fall capsule last week and then sitting with those choices for a week, I settled on 34 items. I put my emotions aside, especially for those things that I was most excited to wear, and I analyzed what my life would…
It's that time of year again...that glorious time of year when I plan my fall capsule wardrobe. Allow me to play my broken record and say that fall is my ABSOLUTE favorite time of the year to plan outfits. It's cold enough for layers, but not so cold that you need ALL the layers. Say "no" to capsule wardrobe rules I don't have a strict protocol for planning my capsule wardrobe. In the past,…
You knew it was coming, didn't you? You saw my previous post on how to clean secondhand leather, read all the way to the bottom, and wondered where the outfit pics were, right? 'Cause you know I love a good styling seesh. Well, although I was sorry to disappoint you then, I'm going to deliver today with 3 leather vest outfits! I love to put these types of posts together because I hope it…
