Have you Considered a Capsule Wardrobe?

A Minimalist Closet 

The concept of a minimalist wardrobe gained popularity in the 1970s.  The idea is to build a wardrobe around coordinated clothing items that are of good quality, often classic designs, often in neutral colours, and all items that will work well together and be timeless.  This strategy will allow you to create a wide variety of outfits with a limited number of items.

Here are a few resources to help you learn more and create your on capsule wardrobe.

Ever have the grand idea to overhaul your entire wardrobe? Several years ago, I did — aiming to look more like who I am: A confident, successful corporate account manager. I revamped to the tune of $19,000 worth of new designer clothes in one year. Yes, you read that right. It was the biggest money mistake I’ve ever made.

When you optimize tasks, even seemingly simple ones, you can save yourself a ton of time and energy in the long run.

That’s why I decided to create a capsule wardrobe (also known as a capsule collection).

Fewer clothes means less laundry to manage, things to organize, and overall decision fatigue. That means more time, energy, and focus for the people and projects that truly matter.

Challenge Questions for Day 27

Have you built a capsule wardrobe?  Does this approach appeal to you?  Why or Why not?

 

Declutter Challenge for Day 27

Clothes closet

Have another go at your closet with an eye to creating a more capsule approach.  Select approx. 10 items that could work well together and take some pictures of possible combinations.  Include one vibrant colour and one accessory item and challenge yourself to see how many combinations you can make.  Discard (donate or sell) at least 5 items that do not work with any other elements in your wardrobe.

If you already have a successful capsule wardrobe, you can always focus today on a problem area for you.
