Capsule Wardrobe

Blog posts about capsule wardrobes. Here I share the benefits of creating a capsule wardrobe, why capsule wardrobes help you in creating a slower, more intentional wardrobe, and how to create one.

I’m a big believer in using capsule wardrobe principles but customising them to your life and sense of style. So you probably won’t find me telling you how many pieces your capsule wardrobe should have.

Instead, you’ll find ways to use the fundamental principles underlying capsule wardrobes which you can customise to help you build a wardrobe full of pieces you’ll love and wear for years.

If you love the idea of a capsule wardrobe but can’t see yourself relinquishing color from your closet, I promise you don’t have to. It’s entirely possible to create a colorful capsule wardrobe. Capsule wardrobes are supposed to simplify, not constrain, your wardrobe. This means that if you love color, you should incorporate it. I…

As mentioned, here, I don’t have a structured capsule wardrobe based around a specific number of pieces. Instead, I like to use capsule wardrobe principles (for example, investing in high quality basics, and re-styling the same pieces in different ways etc.) to create a small, cohesive and versatile wardrobe. While this has been an organically…

Dresses. They’re my archilles heel. Especially t Dresses. They’re my archilles heel. Especially the beautiful, impractical evening dresses. 🖤

However, there are just fewer opportunities to wear evening attire which means that after only one or two wears they can end up gathering dust. 

Below are a few tips for making your beautiful, evening dresses more sustainable.

1. Embrace outfit repeating: Shop your own closet and give your dresses the spotlight they deserve. Remember, re-wearing an outfit should be a badge of honour, not something to be embarrassed by.

2. Phone a friend: Borrow a dress from a friend for a fresh look without buying something new.

3. Rent or hire a dress: Check out clothing rental sites to hire designer dresses at a fraction of the price. Look stunning while reducing waste and saving wardrobe space.

4. Go preloved: Explore online platforms like Gumtree, eBay, or The Real Real for barely worn, second-hand gems. You never know what treasures you’ll find! 

5. Sell what you won’t wear: If an event piece won’t see the light of day again, sell it sooner rather than later. Create space, recoup value, and let someone else enjoy it! 

6. Choose sustainable brands: When buying new, support ethical and sustainable clothing brands. Or opt for timeless designs that can stand the test of time. ♻️✨

I’d love to know, have you tried any of these sustainable approaches for evening attire? I’d love to hear your experiences below.

“Thank you for love, no matter what its outcome, “Thank you for love, no matter what its outcome,
that leads us to the window in the dark,
that adds another otherness to others,
that holds out stars as if they were first diamonds
found in a mine that had been long closed down…” — Bruce Dawe

A poem is truly beautiful if you can analyse it for a grade 10 English essay and still love it years later. “Definition of Loving” by Bruce Dawe is one of those poems for me. 

What’s a poem that really speaks to your soul?

I might not be waking up to this idyllic view of Parisian rooftops this morning, but it’s been a lovely, relaxing and most importantly, sunny, day nonetheless. 

I hope you’ve had a beautiful weekend.

This floral dress always reminds me of summer. O This floral dress always reminds me of summer. 

Of listening to the cicadas hum away into the evening as the world turns golden just for a few brief moments before evening sets in. 

Summer seems a distant memory at present, but I’m looking forward to sunbaked days ahead.

I think it speaks to why investing in pieces that you really love, pays off in the long run. 

Instagram, as it has many items in my wardrobe, introduced me to this dress. 

I had to save for it - waiting until it came on sale. But it’s been one of my most worn dresses from that point onwards and so its cost per wear has ended up being quite low. 

It’s also well made and durable. It’s structure hasn’t changed, the colours haven’t faded with multiple washes, the fabric, linen, has been hard wearing and durable. 

It’s just one example of why quality over quantity is such an important guiding principle for me,  when choosing pieces for my wardrobe. 

What’s a principle which guides the way you collect clothes?

No, I did not pack lightly on our recent trip to t No, I did not pack lightly on our recent trip to the Loire Valley in France. 

Yes, I can confirm that 90% of my luggage comprised romantic and entirely impractical dreamy dresses. 

And yes, it weighed a ton.

If you require evidence, it is in the reel above. 🙈

For travel, do you pack lightly? Or are you more of an “all but the kitchen sink” type of packer?
