And we are done. 30 days, and just under 30 items. I had a little look at my list – which saw a few changes over the course of the month – and all up I ended up incorporating 28 items into my outfits. I could definitely sense towards the end of the challenge, my own hesitancy to add anything in. It almost felt like a cheat to include a piece I may only end up wearing once, maybe twice. Especially when there were only a handful of days left in my spring capsule. I’d like to do more of…
The thirty days are almost up, and just like the winter edition of this challenge, I’ve again pushed myself to wear a different outfit every day. There’s a few reasons why I decided to set this “silent” expectation up for myself. It’s gives me an additional sense of purpose with this challenge. The items I chose were comprised of ones I really wanted to wear, items that would be versatile or “practical”, and items that I wasn’t reaching for and had a desire to see that change. So for me it was a way to have a renewed excitement for…
It’s funny how much your mindset can change in the span of a week. The last time I was sharing an update on what I’ve been wearing, I mentioned that I felt frustrated and stuck with this capsule. Today, I’m more at ease with what I’ve picked. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I’m tip-toeing towards the end of this monthly challenge. Or, it could just be down to the fact that we are highly adaptable beings, swiftly working through challenges – no matter how small or insignificant they may be. From an outfits perspective, it’s…
It’s official. Autumn is my favourite season. After spending months feeling like it’s a chore to put on a single item of clothing due to the heat, that transition to layering up cosy separates is a welcome change. Down under, we’re smack bang in the middle of our spring season, but today I’m teaming up with Everlane to share my favourite cosy wardrobe staples for fall. Wearing Everlane oversized alpaca crew; Dr Denim skinny jeans (old but these from Everlane are similar); Everlane reknit boss boots; Everlane rewool overcoat; Ana Luisa bracelet; Everlane studio bag A CLASSIC COAT Let’s start…
I feel a little like I’m on countdown now that I’ve made it past the halfway point of my spring capsule. Where I felt fulfilled by my winter capsule, I’m finding myself a little frustrated and stuck with my spring capsule. Lifestyle and the weather are definitely playing a role here. One of the things that drove me to revisit capsule wardrobes in the first place was to get a better sense for where my personal style was going. I’d been dressing for cool weather for months at that point; half the work was already done. As strange as this…
