My First Capsule Wardrobe: Winter.. | Fashion

When someone asks me to describe my style I somehow always seem to end up using the word ‘minimal,’ but when you look at my closet you know I'm lying. Having a thousand pieces of clothing is not exactly a prime example of the 'less is more' philosophy. Somehow though, I still felt like I had nothing to wear or was always wearing the same outfit and I soon grew tired of that.

I completely decluttered my entire wardrobe and decided on a fresh start. I wanted to have a very clear vision of what I already owned, find out what basic pieces I was still missing and then build from there. So, the decluttering; done. But where would I go from there?

That's where Caroline came in. A few weeks ago I was reading some blogs and by complete coincidence I came across the blog Un-Fancy, about a woman (Caroline) who was talking about a Capsule wardrobe. I couldn't stop reading, as I was so intrigued by the idea and I quickly decided this would be something for me! And so far.. I'm loving it!

What's a capsule wardrobe?

Well, the basic idea is to go an entire season with a limited amount of clothing pieces. I decided I would go with 37 pieces of clothing each season. Within my 37 items I have outerwear, shoes, tops, dresses and bottoms. Basically it's a mini wardrobe with only pieces of clothing you absolutely love.

Because I really wanted this whole project to be 'minimal' to my wallet too, I decided to limit my spending to 600 euros each season. This is my personal budget though, so you can totally decide how much you would want to spend yourself!
