The Capsule Wardrobe

I know capsule wardrobes are kind of the trendy thing to do lately if you're a blogger. BUT, after months of contemplation, I really felt like this is a bandwagon I wanted to jump on. I've felt like I had too many clothes for a while, even after multiple purges, and trying to be more careful about my shopping. The truth remained: I still had more clothes than I had time to wear.

So, I pared everything down. I decided I wouldn't donate what I wasn't wearing, rather, I'd put it away. There are some things I have that I still really like, but I'm not sure I want to part with yet. I tried to keep with Un-Fancy's guidelines and left out 37 items. Everything else went in a plastic tote.

What was left?

3 pairs of jeans
3 summer pants (1 pair denim shorts, 1 pair black shorts, 1 pair capris)
2 cardigans
4 skirts
3 dresses
1 hoodie
3 blouses
10 tees
1 tank
7 pairs of shoes (2 pairs sandals, 5 pairs flats)

That's it! I'm two days in and so far it's going well. I'm excited, and I feel an odd sense of relief. One less thing to clutter my day and my mind is nice. I'm hoping to do this for the prescribed 3 months, finishing up around August 9.

Have you ever done a capsule wardrobe?
