What is a “Capsule Wardrobe”?
It’s a minimal, interchangeable wardrobe with a finite number made up of clothes you actually love to wear. (Source: Huffington Post)
You can also check out these two posts from last year’s capsules for additional info: Winter Capsule Wardrobe, Spring Capsule Wardrobe. Now that I’ve discovered this way of simplifying your style and dressing more intentionally, I don’t think I’ll ever go back.
I’ve learned some lessons over the past year of minimal fashion, and this is the most excitement I’ve felt going into a new season. Knowing how brutal Texas summers can get, I wasn’t able to carry over a lot of clothing from my Winter capsule, but I’m hoping that many of these easily-layered pieces will transition nicely into next Fall.
I ended up wearing black for about 80% of the time last season, so I was anxious to add some color and prints this time around. I’m still trying to keep to a minimal aesthetic, but swapping out black items for white ones, incorporating blush pink as a new color, and adding gingham for a fun seasonal print.
With some summer vacations in mind, I added another category to show things that I use when traveling. When flying, I always try to fit everything in a carry-on suitcase or duffle bag, so I don’t have to check any luggage.
Without further ado, I present my Spring/Summer 2017 Capsule Wardrobe…
