Total # of items: 165!!!! That's insane!!! No one needs that many items of clothing. Imagine that each outfit has 3 pieces--that's 55 outfits. I can't wear that many in one month even!
So I invited Caroline over and provided some wine, and we went to town on my wardrobe. It's amazing how attached you can become to the silliest items of clothing. (I debated her about a cotton v neck t for way too long!). You almost need an outsider's perspective to get through it all and to see things with a different eye.
In the end, I donated 2 huge heavy bags of clothes! It felt so good. It's hard to make the decision to give something up, but in the end, you probably won't miss it.
Now, to get to the capsule wardrobe...I had a much reduced closet but I still had too many items. I put all of the pictures into Microsoft Publisher so I could look at them all at the same time. In the end, I chose 37 items that I really love. Here's the end result. I'll update the blog at various points with the combos I come up with. I'm not holding to the capsule too, too strictly for my first go around, but let's see how it goes!
