Closet Experiments
2:47 PM
Greeting, My Little Astrological Creatures!
I notice that I'm making bold moves in my own fashion universe. My closet is going to be the focus of my up and coming fashion experiments this year. I feel like this was going to happen anyway because I recently (as you all know) decided to quit fast fashion. I needed my wardrobe to evolve for the better because of my decision. Also, I want to fix some personal fashion issues that have been clinging to my back for the longest. Okay, I'll just get right into what's going on.
Another reason why I wanted to start a capsule wardrobe was because I want to separate what I love from what's taking up space. Also, I want to reduce time when I'm getting ready for the day. My junior year is going to be filled to the brim. So I don't want to waste time by thinking about how I don't have nothing to wear or dig for an outfit that I probably won't like. This results in me missing the bus so I don't want to start my day off rocky and annoyed.
Capsule Wardrobe
I'm just going to flat out say it. I want to do a capsule wardrobe. A capsule wardrobe is a small selection of clothing that can create multiple outfits. Also, these are pieces that you're in love with. This selection of clothing can A) Make getting dressed in the morning WAY easier and B) Make you feel comfortable no matter what. Now that I'm investing money into good quality clothing, I know that I can't shop as much as I use to. This is a good thing on my part because saving money is a goal for me at the moment. I realize that I really need to spend money on the most important necessities when it comes to shopping. A capsule wardrobe would show me the potholes in my closets. |

Basic Bunch
Let me tell you that I will pick patterns over basics any day. I've notice that basics are important and worth the investment. I decide to make a list of areas in my closet that need a basic touch. Another thing about basics is that it fits in the capsule wardrobe guidelines (in my opinion). I believe that basics is one of my comfort zones when it comes to fashion. Basics are on the top of my shopping list this time around.
Jewelry On Display
Here's what happens: I buy jewelry but I forget to wear it. I was thinking of getting a tray to display all my jewelry out in the open. I hope that I'll reach for more of my rings and necklaces. I'm thinking of buying the tray from Target because they have some nice jewelry holders.
The capsule wardrobe concept is new to me and I want to start the process near the end of the week. This would give me time to read articles/blogs about it and give you all some helpful links in case you want to try this out as well. At first, I though minimal closets were cliche because EVERYBODY was doing it and posting pictures like the one above. Now, the picture style is cliche but the idea is not. I hope that it works out for me in the long run.
Thank you for visiting and I'll talk to you all later!
