A WARDROBD CAPSULE

i'm sure by now you've all heard about wardrobe capsules. the concept has been getting a lot of buzz lately, & for good reason.

i've been spending a lot of my free time coming up with my fall capsule. i first heard of a wardrobe capsule from the blog un-fancy, which you definitely should check out if you haven't seen it before. the girl behind it is adorable, has great style & i think a really good idea/method behind this capsule business. since stumbling across her blog i've been seeing other people on instagram that are attempting capsules as well & i think it is so cool that it's gaining popularity.

a wardrobe capsule is a selection of 40 (or less) clothing items that you wear for three months (a season). the items includes pants, tops, sweaters, shoes, jackets. it does not include accessories: scarves, jewelry, purses, etc. since hearing about the capsule, i've been really interested in trying it out for myself. i think a little minimalism could do me some good, especially since with our upcoming move i cannot take the majority of my things... so since i have to get use to it, i'm going to embrace it.

so last weekend, as i watched you've got mail (it took me a good 3 hours to finish since i kept pausing it to go find an item & to play & feed cedar && to take a nap while cedar napped cause i've had a horrible cold...) i finally got around to pulling out the pieces i had decided on using & creating my capsule in real-life. this process was a lot harder than i imagined. even though i have been thinking about it for quite some time, seeing them all lying on the floor next to each other made me nervous & excited, all at the same time. since we're moving to a different continent i'm not 100% sure what to expect weather wise, so i've decided to give myself a little bit of leeway with my capsule. i'm thinking i'm going to switch out a few items once we move for weather purposes.

*i tried to provide links... but it was hard, so some items have a link & some items don't, sorry!
** i don't really have my clothes on a clothing rack. that was purely for the pictures because my closet doesn't photograph well & i had it out because all of the clothes i'm selling are currently residing on the clothing rack. also, if you're ever looking to sell clothes use the app vinted. seriously so great, i've sold a ton. shop my closet on there! my username is kerryjune

  2. ahhh I love unfancy! Caroline is darling and super inspiring. I love seeing all the capsule wardrobes happening, including yours. Yours has this edgy cool vibe that I'm loving. I've been trying to create mine for about two months now...not a lot of success yet. I hope with the definitely change in the weather, I can start a true fall wardrobe soon. Thank you for sharing yours!

  4. k you have AWESOME style. I want to steal your wardrobe! love the classic vans high tops. I've been seeing lots of these capsule wardrobes and I think it's a really cool idea to pare down your options and make your life easier! ...but you also still have to keep all your other clothes... so I don't really totally get it haha. I think I need to do some more research. good luck with your wardrobe!

  5. One day when I'm reaaaaaaaaaaaally wealthy I will pay you to be my personal shopper ;) I think a wardrobe capsule sounds awesome actually. It would cut out so much time spent wasting deciding what to wear, and youd have to get creative. I love that.

  6. i'm really excited to see your capsule photos as fall goes on! (i saw your first at wheeler farms on IG and you naaailed it.) someday i wiill have the time + motivation + self control to go through my closet and just pick a few staples and stick to the basics. i love the look of it and the chance to really chose what you appreciate in your closet. for now, i am sticking with having a thousand choices each morning but you are inspiring me to do a capsule :)
