#CAPSULE WARDROBE CHECKLIST 2017 UPDATE#

Please don’t go out there and shop for anything just yet. What matters is that you start owning things that fit you, that you use all the time and if possible, were made ethically (Check out my ethical brand clothing guide here). So think about your lifestyle, personality, what you want to achieve and work from there. If you work from home permanently and live in a place like South Florida, then by all means I think it’s possible to build a capsule wardrobe and look cute throughout the year without looking the same every day. You just have to sit down and think about what would make you happy. If you live in a 4 season city, it’s unrealistic to spend the whole year with only 30 pieces of clothing, unless you always want to wear the same things. You have to sit down and think about what you want. My goal one day is to only have 40-50 pieces and that’s it, but I must confess I’m not there just yet. Today, I can confidently say that I have a SMALL minimalist wardrobe and not ONE capsule. This depends on what you want to achieve. We haven’t left for our trip yet, but hopefully we will soon! It’s been 6 months since we started living out of a suitcase and love it!

Life update in 2021: Last September we sold everything we owned and started living in Airbnb’s full time. If you look at my Instagram, you can notice that I wear a lot of the same basic pieces in many different ways and it has a lot to do with the fact that without even noticing, I’ve been building a minimalistic wardrobe for the past 2 years. Let me tell you, it’s the best decision we’ve ever made! I love not having a massive closet. I had to create a simple wardrobe for myself and my husband did the same. We had to adjust to the idea of being happy with less things and saving money became a priority to us.

Of course, that meant we had to save a lot of money to give ourselves some time before we could make any real money while traveling.

Similarly, this takes the stress out of getting dressed every day and allows you to focus on more important things like honing your creativity or something as simple as whats for breakfast.We had to cut down on our spending at the end of 2017, when we made the decision to travel the world full time ( More on that here) and try to make a living while at it. Not only is it better for the environment, it’s better for your wallet, as you will be consuming less if you buy only what you need.

Living life this way focuses on consuming less and living a minimalistic lifestyle, perfect for those who hope to do the earth some good. Some stick to the true nature of the capsule wardrobe, wearing only a select few clothing items year round, while others renew their wardrobe season to season with new pieces. The number of pieces in the collection varies from person to person, but usually hovers around 30 to 40, including accessories and outerwear. What is a capsule wardrobe?Ī capsule wardrobe is small, carefully curated collection of clothing and accessories that is meant to be mixed and matched.
