Building A Capsule Wardrobe Pt. III – My Capsule Wardrobe

In the past few weeks, I’ve written about the basics of building a capsule wardrobe: from the what and whys of it to what it comprises of, it only seemed fitting that the final post in this series would be me sharing a bit of my own capsule wardrobe. I’ve omitted some things from this post and narrowed it down to the essentials of my closet, since listing everything I cycle through would make this post pretty long and boring, but rest assured that the featured pieces are definitely the most-worn out of everything I own. I hope this series has given you insight into the benefits of de-cluttering your closet and helped with the process of developing a capsule wardrobe!

 

BASICS

For basics, I stick with classic silhouettes, such as t-shirts, camis, and long-sleeved shirts. However, I definitely do like to keep things interesting still, whether it be a silk or mesh insert here and there, knit details, or lace trim.

LAYERING PIECES

Layering pieces are absolutely essential to a capsule wardrobe in order to add variation (and not to mention, warmth!)  to the few items you have. Cardigans, button-ups, and sweaters are perfect for wearing alone or with other pieces.

“DRESSY”

Sure, a characteristic of a capsule wardrobe is to have versatile, minimalist pieces that will be easy to mix-and-match, however, spice is important! Indulge yourself to dressier classics that you know you love and will cherish for a long time.
