Greetings, My Little Astrological Creatures!

Today, I wanted to talk about my experience with my capsule wardrobe. This is my third week into trying this closet arrangement and I'm still quite new to it all. In my case, there are some pros and a  con. I feel like this is to be expected because I'm learning about how to shape my capsule wardrobe into what represents me. Before this, I didn't know what my personal style is. Now, I'm learning more about myself each day. If you want to check out my post about basic clothing than you can click: Here.

During the past two weeks, I've been observing my closet more than I usually do. The reason why my eyes always look back is because I'm trying to find the answers to my own questions. For example,"What is my personal style?" or "What do I REALLY need to buy?" These questions were answered (of course) and I found out a lot more information that open my eyes up a little wider. I'll list all my discoveries below right here:

1) Comfort is the most important detail when it comes to picking out tops or a pair of jeans. I can handle a little discomfort when it comes to shoes but other than that everything else has to snuggle up to me.

2) I usually gravitate towards t-shirts and sometimes sleeveless shirts depending on my mood.  I want to try to get myself more comfortable with different tops (ex. slightly cropped tops).

3) My go-to pants style is capris when it comes to the summer. I'm going to try to get into wearing shorts next year.

4) For bottoms, I only own denim and sweatpants in my entire wardrobe regardless of which season it is. For now, skirts are not my thing at all but I used to wear them once upon a time.

5) Printed clothing outweighs the basic clothing in my closet.

6) When it comes to fall/winter, my preferred shoe style is boots. Besides that, I wear sneakers for every season and flats are only for summer/spring. I'm a huge fan of flats but I'm trying to get into heels next year.

7) I realize that I really dig backpacks instead of cross-body bags. The only reason why I like cross-body bags is because they help me realize what important essentials are worth taking with me when I'm on the go.

8) I lack summer/spring clothing.

9) I don't fit into just one category of style but I'll talk about it more in another blog post.

• The before and after of my wardrobe was the real deal. I didn't realize how much junk I collected until I cleaned up my closet. I was able to see the clothing that I love clear as day instead of digging for it.

• Now, I know that it's important to change my closet when the seasons change. It'll be easier to get dressed without being tempted to wear a sweater in the summer or flats in the winter.

• It's true that I actually do get ready faster because of my downsized clothing selection.

• There are so many articles that can help to learn the basics of  a capsule wardrobe. The site that I used to help me through this big change was TheEveryGirl. I followed every instruction to a T (which is a good thing).

• I don't have a lot of summer clothing so my closet starts to look real empty real quick. I don't like the feeling that I'm running out of clothing out of nowhere.

 

I'll update you all again at the end of August. For the rest of the week, I am going to be posting on my personal blog because I haven't posted on there in a while. There will be some new posts on here either this weekend or next week. It might be a haul or an another chapter in my journey of enlightenment (who knows!).

Thank you for visiting and I'll talk to you all later!
