having a closet stuffed full of clothes is very stressful to me because I have a hard time tracking the condition of everything, knowing how things are fitting, how they go together, and what's missing/what I should purchase next. without knowing these things I waste money on things I don't need. and I love wearing the same things all the time, so that helps too.
Good point.
Last night I put aside and made an illustrated list of what I consider to be my summer capsule wardrobe--items I wear the most. I was surprised at what a small percentage of my entire wardrobe that was...
![:shock: :shock: :shock:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/shock.gif)
Next to each item, I noted what shoes and layering pieces each requires: heels, leggings, cami, specific undergarments, etc. I realized that the items I wear the most are those with no note next to them: that is, requiring no layering at all (but could be layered if I like) and importantly, which go with either heels or flats.
As a result, I got rid of a few pieces that only match one other item in my closet, or that require further big purchases. I also found out that I could get much more leverage with just a few more leggings and tops.
Yay!
