You may have noticed in my holiday travel capsule post that I have added a cardigan to my winter capsule.
When I finished my capsule in late November, I already knew that I was completing it with an item missing:
a shorter, light gray cardigan that was still cozy, but not wool (I’m sensitive to wool so I can’t wear it).
Pretty specific right?
I just hadn’t been able to find one that I loved and I didn’t want to purchase something just to have it included when I revealed my capsule to you.
So I was still kind of poking around and I found this little number from the gap during the after Christmas sales.
It’s exactly what I was looking for AND I got it for a steal.
Happy dance!
I have to tell you something though. I almost didn’t buy it EVEN though it was perfect.
Why?
Well even though I wax on about how I have no set rules with my capsule approach, I still kind of felt like I was breaking the rules.
And I didn’t want you to judge me.
I know. It’s so silly, but it’s the truth.
But peace is my word for 2016. And one of the biggest areas where I need to find peace is in my struggle to go with the flow.
I like things to be “just so” and when things deviate I really struggle with not feeling as if I have totally failed.
So I decided to say “c’est la vie” and buy the cardigan.
And you know what? I’m really glad I made that decision because I’ve already worn it a ton.
Plus, it fits in perfectly with the rest of my capsule.
Anyone else with me? Does anyone else struggle with letting go?
Until next time,
