A few years ago, I found myself standing in front of my closet, frustrated. After becoming a mom and going through the natural shifts that come with aging, I realized my body had changed—and so had my sense of style. I no longer felt confident in my clothes, and honestly, I wasn’t even sure what I liked anymore.
It wasn’t until I discovered my favorite clothing brand that things started to click. Their pieces fit me beautifully, made me feel confident, and helped me rediscover my personal style. That’s when I realized: I didn’t need a closet full of clothes—I needed a wardrobe full of pieces I loved.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in a style rut, a capsule wardrobe might be the perfect reset. The key? Choosing quality over quantity and curating a collection that reflects you. Here’s how to do it in three simple steps!
Step 1: Define Your Personal Style (No More Guesswork!)
Before diving into your closet, let’s get clear on what makes you feel amazing. Ask yourself:
✨ What outfits make me feel most confident?
✨ What colors, patterns, and fits do I naturally gravitate toward?
✨ Do I prefer polished and structured, comfy and relaxed, or a mix of both?
I used to buy trendy pieces just because they were “in,” only to realize they didn’t feel like me. Once I pinpointed what I actually loved (hello, effortless tanks, plaids, and denim!), shopping became so much easier.
Take inspiration from your favorite outfits, Instagram saves, or Pinterest boards. Your style should reflect who you are now, not who you used to be or what’s currently trendy.
Step 2: Curate Your Wardrobe Staples
Now that you have a clearer sense of your personal style, it’s time to build a wardrobe that works for you. A capsule wardrobe isn’t about limiting yourself—it’s about making getting dressed easy and fun! Start with:
✔️ Tops (5-10 pieces): Solid basics + a few statement tops
✔️ Bottoms (3-5 pieces): Comfortable jeans, skirts, or well-fitting pants
✔️ Layering pieces (2-3 pieces): A great plaid (my personal fave), cardigan, or blazer
✔️ Shoes (2-3 pairs): Versatile, comfy options you actually wear
✔️ Accessories: Jewelry, scarves, or a standout handbag for personality (or one that carries all the things!).
When I started my capsule wardrobe, I focused on pieces that made me feel great right now—not ones I hoped to fit into or that didn’t suit my lifestyle. And let me tell you, getting dressed became so much simpler!
Step 3: Keep It Fun & Flexible
A capsule wardrobe isn’t about rigid rules—it’s about building a closet that works for you. To keep things fresh:
🌿 Swap out seasonal pieces when needed
👜 Add a statement accessory (a fun bag or bold earrings)
💡 Mix and match your pieces to create new outfit combos
Since discovering a brand that fits my style, I am more intentional about the pieces I add to my capsule. Instead of impulse buys, I choose items that truly fit my wardrobe and make me feel my best.
