Yesterday was the first day of spring, and it was my first day to put away the set of clothes I’ve been wearing since January 1. (Well, most of them. Some moved ahead to the spring set.) You’ve so kindly read through my documentation of my capsule for these two and a half months. You’ve read posts about my thoughts on the what I learned as I mixed and matched. Today I wanted to share my final thoughts on what I learned from that winter capsule.
·
I loved the colors I
chose. I loved the blues, blacks, and whites with touches of gray and tan. They
felt perfect for winter. I would choose them again in another winter season.
·
I loved almost all the
pieces I chose for that winter capsule. There are a couple I put in the donate
pile when I cleaned out the wardrobe, but the majority moved into the back of
the closet to be pulled forward in another year.
·
I forgot how much adding
scarves makes a big difference. I had two in my winter capsule and loved both
of them. One was an infinity scarf and the other was knit.
·
The same is true for
headbands. I loved adding them on bad hair days and/or when I just needed extra
oomph.
·
I had no idea how many
things I could add to a sweatshirt to change the look: layering shirts
underneath, or adding scarves or vests.
·
Leather leggings are
not for me. I ended up eliminating them early in the experiment.
·
I do like joggers – if
they’re not made out of sweatpant material.
·
Glasses are a great
accessory, and I should wear them more.
·
Sweaters and jackets
over a dress change the look entirely – and I like it!
·
I missed having jammie
days, but I felt more productive putting on real clothes every single day.
·
I’m ready for a new
set of choices and new colors…and I have that with the spring set!

Have you talked somewhere about how many items you had in this capsule? I feel like you have... And by "how many' I mean broken down by t-shirts, sweaters, pants, etc.
Hi Natasha! Yes! I had to go back to find it, but here is the link: https://bekahsbits.blogspot.com/2024/01/winter-2024-capsule-wardrobe-pieces.html
This was back in January. I ended up nixing the leather pants and adding two more shirts later. (Plaid shirt and pink sweater.) But this was the original set!
You crushed your winter capsule!!
