Do You Have a Closet Full of Clothes and Nothing to Wear?

My Journal

Unfancy - That's Pretty Ace

So often, I look into my full closet and can never find anything to wear! I end up wearing the same ‘safe’ outfits over and over again. If there is a particular event or occasion coming up, I feel like I always need to buy a completely different outfit for it – which can be overwhelming and stressful.

Earlier in the year while we were in America for over a month, I was only able to take the bare essentials with me. It was so refreshing to discover how little I actually needed!

Enter Un-Fancy. I have been following Caroline’s journey online, while she was still a wedding photographer. She is now a minimalist fashion blogger, and her awesome blog, Un-Fancy, which documents her efforts toward a more minimalist lifestyle focusing on fashion. Her blog is centred around a brilliant concept of a “capsule wardrobe” – 37 pieces for each season (including shoes).

Caroline’s definition: “a capsule wardrobe represents more time and energy for what really matters (less time spent deciding what to wear / less time spent shopping / less time doing laundry or caring for clothes) more money for our dreams + helping others (less money spent on clothes that never get worn) and more contentment and happiness.”

Yes, yes and yes please. I love this concept! I’ve recently been going through my closet, trying on everything and donating or giving away clothes I haven’t worn for more than a year. This process takes time! I’m definitely not there yet, but I would LOVE to be able to open my closet and feel like I always have something awesome to throw on, be it Sunday brunch or a client meeting, because every single item hanging in my closet is something I would love to wear right this moment.

What do you think of having a capsule wardrobe for each season? Would you do it?
