Starting a Successful Capsule Wardrobe

Your wardrobe should include only pieces that FIT, FLATTER and FEEL GOOD!

I know how hard this can be - we talked about the emotional aspect of clothing this past week. I’ve been a huge range of sizes. My body shape has changed with kids. I have some extra “love” in places I wish I didn’t right now. BUT, start with what you have and what you decided to keep. Remember to keep what fits and what works for what season you're in - I do have a very small box of things I kept that aren't working for me right now, BUT, they aren't out and taking up space in my closet!

A capsule wardrobe is your new daily “uniform”. Hone in on your style with a few simple questions:

🌟 What is your lifestyle like 75% of the time?
🌟 What’s the season you’re dressing for? Weather?
🌟 What do you own and LOVE? Why?
🌟 What do you own and never wear? Why?
🌟 What are your favorite colors to wear? Silhouettes?
🌟 Any special events this season?
🌟 Favorite brands right now?

My answers look like this:

🌵 #stayathomemomlife
🌵 Fall in Phoenix (still 🔥)
🌵 V-neck tees, easy shorts, casual dresses with pockets (Soft, comfortable, utilitarian)
🌵 Crew-neck tees, chiffon “work” tops (Neckline ugly, too “grandma” and restrictive)
🌵 Black, olive green, denim, rosy pink; peplum tops, cinched-waist dresses, high-waisted bottoms
🌵 Not until winter
🌵 Old Navy

Don’t be afraid of tailoring! If you love something and it can be adjusted to fit better, go for it.
