Capsule Wardrobe for Fall 2017

It seems like the latest trend I've been seeing on Pinterest is capsule wardrobes.  If you haven't heard of them, they are basically a small collection of clothes that can all be mixed and matched so you have lots of different options to choose from without having an overflowing closet.  

I've been hearing about capsule wardrobes for at least a year and I always thought it was a neat idea.  Who wouldn't want more outfit options with less clothes?  And why wouldn't I want every piece of clothing in my closet to fit me well and make me feel good when wearing it?

Like I mentioned in my last post, a few weeks ago I decided to give this idea a try.  Before I started, I went through my closet and counted how many pieces I had hanging up.  There were 114 hanging items in my closet!!  This blew me away because the majority of the clothes hadn't been worn in 6 months or even longer.  So why was I wasting all this closet space with clothes that I wasn't even wearing?  

By the time I was done weeding out the unnecessary clothes, I had a much sleeker looking closet with a grand total of 27 items (including pants & shoes).  It was a huge sigh of relief!  Every time I open my closet I can clearly see every piece of clothing to choose from.  I know that everything fits me and that I have many different combinations to choose from for my outfit that day.

If you'd like to give this a try in your own closet, keep reading to get the step-by-step process for creating your own capsule wardrobe.
