The idea behind creating a capsule wardrobe
is to free up your time and your brain
from preoccupation with what to wear
while looking great, your best
Take away everything you don’t need
pare your wardrobe back to essential and loved, beautiful garments
then wear the best
That’s all you need
Get rid of those clothes that don’t fit
that you don’t like or
are in any way a compromise
Be brave
You’ll be glad to be brave
Every woman who shines out and looks stunning
has got rid of all that she does not need
Creating a capsule wardrobe leaves you nowhere to hide
No more hiding in clothes that don’t do you justice
Wear those clothes and shine out
We love the idea of creating a capsule wardrobe
the appeal is so enticing
But are we brave enough to go there
Are we brave enough to ditch our comfort clothes
to get rid of what might be good
in order to go for great, amazing and awesome
What stops us from going there
from looking unique
from being brilliant
Even short people can suffer from tall poppy syndrome
Is it fear we will be pulled back
cut down to size
Who does she think she is
Well who do you think you are
That capsule wardrobe stands between two thoughts
What do they think of me and
what do I think of myself
Only concentrate on the latter
the former is none of your business
Take your time, journal, think
Remember that you are created to be awesome, talented, clever
Could you abandon everything in your wardrobe
that is a compromise
and really be who you are created to be
I’m not talking about creating a capsule wardrobe full of leggings and baggy teeshirts
No
I’m talking about wearing clothes
that fit your personality like a glove
Dip your toe in the water
Start to create a collection of clothes
that are uniquely you
You may be surprised by what you discover
and you may discover that being bold
audacious
daring
feels like coming home
