Decluttering and the Capsule Wardrobe
I got an email from Marie in Aberdeen, Scotland last week (thank you, Marie!) and she was wondering how she could go about building a capsule wardrobe. The capsule is one area where many of us get a bit stuck – we don’t really know what it is or how to create it, and sometimes we worry that it’s a bit boring or limiting style-wise. I’ve written a bit about the capsule wardrobe over the years and it was fun to see a capsule in blues and browns that I created back in 2010 being shared and pinned many times around the world! You can have a look at that capsule here.
The capsule wardrobe is important because after we declutter our wardrobes it can help us continue in the right mindset as we shop selectively. Here you can check out an article from The Declutter Therapist’s Archives on the capsule wardrobe and how I think it can add value to our lives.
I’ve also created a fresh 10-piece capsule for the variable spring weather – I hope it gives you an idea of how a capsule can break down and please do leave your comments below!
