I apologize for the image quality of these pictures. We got a new camera and we’re still learning how to use it. 🙂
As I wind down yet another capsule (I say that like I’ve been doing it for years when I’m only on my second capsule) I’m realizing how much I love doing it. And it’s not because of the clothing or the minimal lifestyle.
No, it’s because of the fact that it requires intentional behavior.
Sometimes life seems to just happen. Do you know what I mean?
It just passes by day after day and it… happens. I don’t necessarily think that it’s a bad thing. It’s just life.
BUT. I have found that doing this Capsule Wardrobe allows me to at least move intentionally through an area of my life that was previously anything but intentional.
As a new mom, my life is anything but predictable. And while I love EVERY moment of it doing this capsule gives me a bit of a focal point in a sea of unpredictability. And sometimes that’s all you need yes?
I apologize that my posts have been so rambly lately… I have needed to process some things out loud and this space is a great place to do so.
Next week we will be recapping this fall capsule and I’m kind of excited to walk down memory lane!
Until next time,
LOVE this look! I could wear this every day in the winter!
Thank you! And me too!
Super cute and cozy!! 🙂
Thank you Sarah!
I know this is about the scarf, but OMG those earrings. <3 I need them in my life.
Haha! It’s a little bit about the earrings too. 🙂
My very favorite is the baby wearing picture. I love that!
I know! Ha! That’s why I included it as an “after thought”!
Cute look! Your scarf and sweater look so cozy!
Molly and Stacie

Thank you Miriam!
I love this series! Such a cute outfit.
Thank you Courtney!
I found the pictures so fab. And being intentional is truly important i guess.. loving this series
Thank you Fareeha!
You make a good point about life just happening. We should all try to be more intentional. It’s challenging, particularly when you have kids!
I love the scarf! Also, I thought the image quality was fine. Beautiful color on the shots.
It definitely is Michelle! And thank you!
I am on that new mom boat with you! Totally feel you on things zooming by! Love your outfit, so something I would buy!
Thank you lady! We’re in it together right?!
I love that bag and those earrings! As a new mom myself, I understand wanting to live life intentionally.

Congrats on your second capsule and mastering the new camera! Everything looks great and I look forward to learning more about the journey you are on. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Rachael! I’m glad to have you on board! 🙂
Feel free to process out loud (or through typing I guess…) anytime!!! <3
Haha! Thank you Susannah!!
I wish I could say parenting gets more predictable but after four kids I can categorically say it doesn’t.
Haha thanks Gillian! I would imagine it gets less predictable the more kids you have… too many little wills in the mix!
Love your style and your blog! I agree living with intention is s important, we can get do caught up in stress or the day to day and miss the moments of our life.
Thank you Elizabeth! You are so sweet! It is so easy to get caught up in it isn’t it?
Love the earrings and that you babywear!! I totally agree that life is so unpredictable especially with a baby/toddler. I have a toddler myself and I try to remind myself to not lose myself in this crazy life. It is so easy to lose yourself when you put all of your focus onto your children. Thank you for posting this!
Thank you Elizabeth! It is SO unpredictable… hard for my planning personality. 🙂 And I agree that it is so easy to lose yourself! It’s so nice to know that we’re all in this together!
I stumbled across your blog several months ago and that was the first time I had ever heard of a capsule wardrobe. I’m sitll not entirely sure what it is exactly but I am intrigued by the concept! I love this outfit, it’s the perfect fall ensemble: warm but not so dark and gloomy!
Hey Nikki! If you go to my How To section up above it should give you a clue as to what a Capsule Wardrobe is. 🙂 And if you still have questions feel free to shoot me an e-mail!
I love your photos. I can feel the fall in the colors. I feel like I’m there! beautiful work.
Thank you Alysha!
Do you start from scratch for each capsule? Or do you find what will work that is already in your closet and go from there? I love the idea of a capsule and I subscribed to your blog/got the guide but I have yet to actually do the capsule. Maybe I’m just chicken… And I hate to shop because I wonder endlessly holding items, get overwhelmed and put them back and walk away.
Hi Kate! That’s a great question! I would say 75% of what I have in each capsule is clothing I already owned. The other 25% is new/thrifted. I would imagine that number will go down the longer I do this as I get more settled in each season’s capsule. And I totally feel you on the shopping thing. I probably return 50% of what I buy because I second guess myself. You’re not alone! 🙂
Great post, great style and I love your thinking!
Thank you Eileen!
You look so cozy and cute! I’m new to your blog, so now I gotta know…what’s this Capsule Wardrobe thing?
