Last year was my very first attempt at a seasonal capsule wardrobe. And even though my first attempt was a tad rocky, overall, I’d give Fall 2016’s Capsule two thumbs up. I totally fell in love with having a small closet. I really enjoyed having less options, fewer decisions, and a closet containing pieces of clothes I was excited to wear, and for the most part, all went with each other. Though, I will totally admit that the planning and coordinating of the outfits could have been a bit better — last Fall / Winter I wasn’t great with the layers, and limited myself to too few bottom pieces.
I went about creating my capsule a bit differently this year, and really hope that it’ll pay off. That I’ll still love what I’m wearing on a very-regular-basis come December. That I won’t look at my clothes when I’m packing up for Spring and think, WTF was I thinking with that cardigan? Because lord knows I said that about a handful of pieces from 2016.
MY FALL 2017 CAPSULE WARDROBE
Things are a tad different this year. I opted for no skirts, only three dresses, sprung for high quality expensive jeans, decided it’s time to finally embrace vests (gasp! yes, vests!) and get smarter about layering choices. I said hell no to a blanket scarf, and retired items that didn’t fit me well from last year. I have a total of 34 pieces (yes, I’m 1 piece under the 35), and I’m pumped.
WHAT’S IN MY CAPSULE
I did my absolute very best to find the exact pieces currently hanging in my closet. However, a majority of my items aren’t new (would you believe me if I told you that jean jacket is from high school), and I’m sure my girl friends will be able to recognize pieces from last year, but I’m OK with that!
