Fall 2014 Capsule Wardrobe Roundup: October

I’m linking up with In Residence and Just Jacq for this month’s capsule wardrobe outfit showcase

Fall Capsule 2014 – Current Thoughts

It’s been almost two full months since I downsized my closet and decided to try working with a capsule wardrobe for fall. My tune hasn’t changed since last month; I still think this was a great decision for me. I understand that it may not work for some people, but it has helped me streamline the process of both getting dressed and assessing my wardrobe needs, both of which often used to overwhelm me. I’m terribly indecisive; while I like having choices, when I have too many I just shut down. 

I’m still trying to decide what I’m going to do about winter. I’m definitely going to continue this process, but I’m not sure if it works for me to start the “winter capsule” in December. After talking to Anne about it a little, I’m leaning towards using December as a “transition month”, which would make my winter capsule last from January through March. Weather-wise, this would (unfortunately) make the most sense as well. I have some time to decide that though.  

Favorite Looks – October 2014

Leopard meets bumblebee. I wore this to work and added the leopard scarf to mix up the black and yellow. 

eShakti black dress / Target yellow cardigan / Madewell polka dot flats / Sammydress leopard scarf

Dots and brights. This was another work look for a day that called for mixing brights with some whimsical dots. 

 Gap blue pants / J.Crew Factory polka dot chambray / J.Crew Factory navy sweater / Nine West pink heels

Triple the prints. I decided to have a little fun with my neutral prints for this casual look. 

Gap navy cords / Ann Taylor Factory navy stripe shirt / Old Navy navy print scarf / Dr. Scholl’s leopard flats

Cozy cool. A warm, printed cardigan added some fun to basic jeans, tee and flats. 

Gap skinny jeans / Loft navy print cardigan / Target gray tee / Gap Outlet red flats

What are your thoughts on capsule wardrobes? Is it something you’re doing now or is it not your thing? I’d love to know what your “wardrobe philosophy” is!
