Fall Capsule Wardrobe Recap

I feel like I blinked and Fall was gone.  We had a beautiful fall this year.  I was quite happy with most of my wardrobe, with a few exceptions.  Here is what I loved and what I disliked about my Fall Capsule Wardrobe.

Fall Capsule Wardrobe Loves:

This dress is so comfortable and looks great, too!  I wore it a TON.

This black and white striped top got a lot of wear.  I also wore the vest a lot.

This leopard top can be dressed up and dressed down.  It is great!

I LIVED in this light chambray top.  It was my thrift store find.  I didn't like chambray when it first came out, but I am converted.   It is awesome.


This outfit was also in heavy rotation.  The sweater is pretty and allows me to wear my leggings.  I could live in leggings.  They are so comfy!

This t-shirt is a great weight and fits me really well.  I wear it often.

Fall Capsule Wardrobe Dislikes:

This oatmeal cape is super itchy and I have sensitive skin.  Unfortunately, I think it will go in the donation bin.  It is super warm so that was a plus.

This plum sweater.  I love the colour and I wore it to death last year, yet I rarely wore it this year.  I am not sure why, but I am not impressed with it anymore.  Another addition to the donation bin.

This red sweater.  I don't know why but it just didn't fit quite right.  I was never sure exactly why, but I never really loved wearing it.

I will be getting rid of my leopard flats, as well.  I really wish that they would have worked, but they were so uncomfortable.  They tore my feet up the first time I wore them.  It took weeks for them to heal.  I will be on the hunt for a more comfortable pair of leopard shoes.


That concludes my year of capsule wardrobes!  It was a fun experience.  I really recommend trying them.  The HUGE benefit to capsule wardrobes is that you learn to shop less and you really get a good sense of your sense of style.  I am going to stop doing capsule wardrobes, for now.  The KonMari method that I plan to try has set rules on how to purge everything, including clothes.  I want to be open to this new method of minimalism, without my capsule wardrobes clouding my judgement.

  1. Isn't is so weird how you'll wear something a ton one year and then ignore it the next? That always happens to me! Great job with your capsules! I love all of your outfits! I finally found a chambray shirt that I like and fits me well--I'm very excited about it! :)
