New Additions to the Spring Capsule

New Additions to the Spring Capsule

Is it spring yet? I’m asking for a friend. I realized today that I haven’t even cleaned the winter clothes out of my closet because well, it still feels like winter outside! I’ve been spending a lot of time putting together my spring/summer capsule because I have a pretty good feeling that we won’t have much of a spring this year and I don’t want to get bogged down shopping for one season specifically that’s too shy to really show up. We may get three good weeks and that’s about it. This year is going to be the first year…

My Spring Capsule Wardrobe is Complete!

My Spring Capsule Wardrobe is Complete!

Spring is here, even though it doesn’t feel like it outside yet. I’m super excited about my Spring Capsule Wardrobe. This whole thing is a learning experience. I’m a shopper and usually, just buy whatever I think will make me happy. With a capsule wardrobe, I’ve had to learn to be a lot more intentional on the things I purchase, not only for my Spring wardrobe but for all my capsule wardrobes as select items will be used interchangeably throughout each season.  Below I’ve walked you briefly through my process on how I choose my color scheme, budget, and the…

How Minimizing Routines can Make Life Easier.

Purging my student loan debt (nothing but the devil), purging my fat cells through being conscious of what I’m eating, and also purging the clutter from my home.  You can probably say that I’m starting to adopt a minimalist attitude towards life. I hadn’t realized that all the unnecessary things in my house…

Snow Daze

  One of the best things about having a Capsule Wardrobe is that it really forces you to think outside the box when it comes to putting together outfits. After my husband dug us out of the house we decided to get out and enjoy this beautiful snow day. Usually, I would throw on a sweatshirt and some jeans, but this year I’ve told myself that I want to make a concentrated effort to get out of that “grad student” funk when it comes to outfits. So, I decided to to wear my faux leather leggings that I picked up…

Building my Winter Capsule Wardrobe

Building my Winter Capsule Wardrobe

Just before Christmas, I became completely fed up with my closet. Seriously I was just over it! I found myself wearing the same things over and over, and whenever I had to pack to go somewhere, it became this huge ordeal as I had to try on everything just to make sure it fit. So one day I came home from work, opened my closet door and told the clothes “yall ain’t gotta go home, but you gotsta get the hell up outta here!”. I then began the ultimate purge. Anything that didn’t fit or I wasn’t absolutely in love…
