Episode 08: How To Create A Capsule Wardrobe

We’ve got another special episode this week! Today we’re in Kimmy’s bedroom because Emily and Bre are helping her create the fall capsule wardrobe that Emily dared her to make in Episode 4. We’ve also got some Habitat Hacks to help you organize your closet, and some great pillow talk finds to close out the episode.

About the Challenge:

The challenge is to choose 30 pieces to wear for 30 days.

The rules:
- Only what fits and feels great!
- Magic number + Reverse Decluttering Method from the Minimal Mom (less stressful, simpler way of paring down your closet)
  - Decide on the number, then pick the best of the best. Everything else goes into “quarantine”
  - We all have a minimalist wardrobe, it’s just surrounded by a bunch of other clothes we don’t wear!
- Lay it out on the bed to see it all together and color coordinate
- Base it on a style, or particular pieces you want to incorporate
- Capsule wardrobe formula
  - Tees: 5
  - Long sleeved: 4
  - Sweaters: 5
  - Jackets and Coats: 4
  - Bottoms: 4
  - Dresses: 2
  - Shoes: 4
  - Flex Items: 2

Segment #2: Habitat Hacks

Emily’s 5 questions to ask when decluttering:

Does this spark joy?
Has this served it's purpose? (even if it's purpose was only to teach me what not to buy, or if it's a gift, just to make me feel loved by the giver?)
Does this belong with me in the future?
Does this fit the person I want to become?
If I saw this in a store today, would I buy it?

Pillow Talk:
