The Capsule Wardrobe: The Plan

So hi...

I love the concept of a capsule wardrobe. I recently rewatched all of Vivannadoesmakeup's videos on her capsule wardrobe and swooning a little. It's just such a clean and organised way to keep clothes and get rid of the useless crap that just ends up collecting dust at the bottom of the wardrobe.
As such I've been thinking about how to start making my own wardrobe a capsule wardrobe. Now I don't think I could really do as good as Vivianna with only 36 items each season. I've made myself a breakdown of what I'd like to have in my wardrobe in total as in all honesty, I want to just completely rebuild my wardrobe as I feel like I've collected a lot of things that I don't really care for or just don't reflect my style all that much.
Anyway This will be in some form a mini series?
The break up will be the plan now, then when I have time after my recent assignment dates are past. ( UGhH Second term assignments why you all so close together!).
Now I've thought to plan for 100 items overall, and in this includes Shoes, Dresses, Tops, Bottoms (with sub categories of shorts trousers and skirts!) and then Coats.
This plan may change, as I collect things I may notice I've missed items out or that I don't actually need as much as planned, it's a learning curve.
Let''s go.
Breakdown! 100 items.

Coats: 14
Shoes: 14
Tops: 30
Dresses: 10
Bottoms: 42
-Shorts: 10
-Skirts: 7
-Trousers: 15

That's the basic breakdown I've decided on, these would then be swapped out and changed around for each season.
Just a note, the 14 coats are because I've considered hoodies in that category which are basically my life, always gonna have about 5 of them. Student life yo.

Now is the long process of clearing through my wardrobe and deciding what I would actually keep as apart of this system.

Do you have a capsule wardrobe? any tips?

Co-ords heaven.

So hi...

This was supposed to be more of a co-ords set, but has ended up being co-ords from boohoo! But I can't help what I like!
I absolutely love the idea of co-ords, you buy basically 2 pieces of clothes that look good together but can easily be mixed and matched around. What's not to love? I have been a little catious about buying any for myself because of my size but I've be losing and as apart of my august aims (Read them here) I want to be more confident! and change my wardrobe, so buying clothes I like and rocking then is kinda two birds with one stone.

A Week Or So Of Outfits

So Hi...

You could probably guess that these posts will be just a little bit similar to the make-up posts. In the same way the make-up looks are a way for me to experiment with my make-up, these are also a way for me to experiment with my own personal style and fashion sense. It's also gonna make me feel the need to make more effort with my outfit choices rather than shoving on a t-shirt and leggings, which although comfy, always makes me feel more sluggish as I know I haven't tried. I'll warn you guys though, These will just be in the mirror selfies as I don't have a good set up to take proper outfit posts, but that's why it'll be a much more casual post.

That's my outfits for the last 2 weeks. I haven't not been dressed but remembering to photograph my outfits before heading out is my issue so far, But I am getting better and I quite like having this and my wee or so in make-up posts, I like the casualness of it.
What are your favourite outfits?
We'll talk soon lovelies!

The Wardrobe Clearout.

So hi..

when it comes to my wardrobe I'm lucky enough to have a built in wardrobe, but it is also the same wardrobe I've had since I was about 10, this means it was an absolute state as stuff was chucked in there and had bits and bobs in the back from years ago, so a week or so ago I decided it seriously needed a good clear out. I started off by taking out all the clothes in the wardrobe and separating them in to 4 piles, Dresses, Bottoms, Shirts and general tops. This is the outcome on my bed.

You never realize how many clothes you have until they are laid out like this, and I still have my drawers...(Don't worry a lot was chucked)
And my wardrobe looked like this..

As you can see I have a christening dress and other bits on the side that belong to my sister but my wardrobe is the biggest so I have to look after it for her, and then my scarfs on the side. Before actually organizing my clothes I decided to sort my shoes out which sit at the bottom of the wardrobe, this included trying all of them on and deciding if there's any I don't like or really don't wear.

The reject pile was thrown aside and the victors rearranged back on my shoe rack.

Look at that. looking all neat and stuff. Then began the VERY long and slow process of trying on all of my clothes, chucking a load of them away and refilling my wardrobe, I also was able to organize my wardrobe better as before all my clothes were randomly there with no real system. First I started with Dresses, then shirts, bottoms and then the biggest pile, the general tops.

And bam, a much cleaner neater wardrobe with a system. I decided to organise it From left to right as Cardigans, Jumpers, Light tops, tshirts, bottoms, Shirts, dresses and then winter type clothes that I won't be wearing for a few weeks yet. Although with the chilly wind that's been around it may be sooner than I had hoped.

Have you had a major clothes clearout recently?

How do you organize your wardrobe and storage?

We'll talk soon lovelies!
