I’m only a month into my winter wardrobe, but I have already realized something:
I am WAY more satisfied with this capsule than I was with my summer and fall capsules.
Why?
Well… I included clothing that has a bit more… pizzaz.
Now don’t get me wrong, I will ALWAYS be an active advocate of comfort wear.
And I’ll never be much of a heel girl, or a fingernail polish girl, or … you get the point.
I’ll also never wear something that I don’t find comfortable.
I don’t have time for uncomfortable clothing.
BUT when I began to stay at home with Kit, I assumed that I would be wearing lounge wear 90% of the time and so organized my capsules around that idea.
But here’s the thing, I don’t feel like myself when I’m wearing lounge wear all the time. It makes me feel a bit frumpy (if that’s your thing, no judgement here… you go girl/guy).
Plus, Kit and I venture out of the house a lot more than I thought we would and I like to look nice when I leave the house… even if it is to run to the grocery store.
So this capsule I made sure to include a lot of clothing that looks pulled together, but is still incredibly comfortable.
Insert the dress I am wearing in this picture. It looks pulled together, but it is sooo cozy.
Perfect!
I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m learning to accept my own personal style.
I think a capsule wardrobe will only be successful if you are willing to be 100% honest about who you actually are.
Pretending to have a personal style that doesn’t belong to you only causes you discontent and an urge to buy more.
On the other hand, embracing who you are allows your clothing to work for you instead of against you.
What about you? How do you describe your personal style? Let me know in the comments below!
Until next time,
