Why do you need a capsule wardrobe?
Have you ever stared into a closet full of clothes and told yourself, “I have nothing to wear”?
I think we all have. But its not really beause we don’t have anything to wear is it? I mean you literally have clothes but you probably don’t have the RIGHT clothes. Clothes that make you feel happy. Clothes that make you feel confident. Well, learning to shop S.M.A.R.T and build a capsule wardrobe can change that feeling. Use the 3 Step Style Formula so everyday you will love your look.
What is the benefit of a capsule wardrobe?
You’ll spend less money, have less junk but gain clarity in your closet with a capsule wardrobe.
Getting Started
1 – Start with 3 basics-Month one
Begin your journey to building a capsule wardrobe by counting to three – three jackets, three pants and three tops. Choose the most versatile colors and styles. Starting with solid, neutral colors will give you the most opportunity to coordinate those new pieces with items you already have in your closet. These 9 pieces should give you 36 outfit options with and without the jacket. Listed below are some suggestions from StyleFinder Boutique.
Denim Jacket
Everyday Surplice Tank
Charleston Jean
What you need to get rid of
Start filtering out items that no longer fit, are torn/stained or pieces that do not work/fit your lifestyle.
2 – Add your Rockstar items-Month 2-4
To keep things interesting, add in your stand out pieces. Remember, your rockstar item will be the focal point of the outfit so have fun with bold colors, patterns and textures. For your next addition, mix in two jackets, two tops and two pants.
Classic Liquid Leather – Metallic Copper
Trinity Blouse
Heather Jean
What you need to get rid of
Finish clearing out your closet. Touch each item and ask – does this fit my current body, lifestyle and personal style aesthetic? If it doesn’t – toss it!
3 – Finish the Capsule-Month 4-6
If you don’t have your full capsule, that’s ok. You should be able to have at least 5 jackets, tops and pants by now. That will give you 125 outfit combinations. Once you have seven pieces in each category you will have over 340 options.
