At the beginning of this year I consistently heard about:
-A capsule wardrobe
-33 items of clothing
-Only 4 bottoms, 5-7 shirts, 2 pairs of shoes
-A man wearing only one outfit for a week as a test to see what others around him would say...and to his surprise, no one said anything!! They didn’t even notice.
All of this inspired me to try something new. So...in the spring, I tried a thing!! I went through my clothes and picked out my favorite articles of clothing. I also had to buy a few things as I’m still postpartum.
There is no label for it. However, i would say it was a cross between 10 items of clothing and a capsule wardrobe. I enjoyed having only a few items to wear for several reasons. Mainly, because it was SUPER easy to get dressed everyday! The stress of “What will I wear” was gone!
I liked it so much that I’m doing it again for fall. So I went thrifting this week to pick out 4 new-to-me-shirts. I’m super excited!
I’ve always been good about going through my clothes and getting rid of things that don’t fit, I don’t like or I don’t wear. In April 2018 I did a big purge and got rid of just over 1/2 of my wardrobe. Don’t worry...I’m not purging my wardrobe just yet with this idea. I wanna make sure I like it first and not stuck buying a whole new new clothes.
This idea isn’t for everyone....it has just happen to work very well for me. Probably also helps that I’m postpartum and unable to fit into my pre-baby clothes.
