A Better Way to Build Your CAPSULE WARDROBE / Modules / Minimalist / Emily Wheatley

[@lindawaldon9264]

Just found your videos at 68 years young 😆 I really think your videos do relate to a person of any age. Very informative and straight forward. Love your look by the way, very groovy 👌 Thanks for your post ❤️

[@EmilyWheatley]

Thank you so much Linda! This is great to hear!

[@sarahbhutta251]

Great episode. I just found you and at 56 have never been neutral or classic. Till now most capsules have been either or both. It’s refreshing to see a more general definition of this trend.

[@EmilyWheatley]

Oh good I'm so glad you liked it. And I love that you said that because I don't think all capsule wardrobes have to be neutral. Thanks so much for your comment Sarah!

[@gwenroireau6203]

Does anyone else get the perfect piece (or a dress or something that you love how it feels and fits) and then you want to buy it in EVERY color they make? I recently found a little swing dress with pockets and now I have 3 of them.....

[@katradner9132]

I love boat neck t-shirts with sleeves hitting around the elbow. Last year I lucked out that one german retailer had that style, so now I own black, white, navy and a light spring-y green. Swing dresses with pockets sound like something else that I'd double up on😊

[@EmilyWheatley]

Love that Gwen and Kat! Yes I'm fully someone that will buy in multiple colors if I love. I do it with t-shirts a lot!

[@heidimeigs3109]

🤗🤗🤗🤗…..yes! I’ve always done this! 👍👍👍👍

[@cindylavertue6881]

Absofreakinlutely!!

[@nadageorgi7819]

I like your experience background. I understand and am able to execute every concept you share.very clear to fashion oriented minds. My dream job would be vitrina designer. And I dream to meet you some day :) ha ha ha..

[@jbridgehall4]

I had so much fun with this today as I planned what clothes to take with me for thanksgiving with family. I’m a senior senior but find your videos so helpful to keep me looking young!!!!

[@sheilathornton6313]

Totally great concept. Can you do another with examples??

[@EmilyWheatley]

Examples of different types of modules or something more specific?

[@ModernClassicLifeStyle]

@@EmilyWheatley I was thinking the same thing. I really LOVE your videos, but can we see your clothes or examples of your anchors, etc.? You flash them up really fast, (and we only get to see maybe one image) but a couple of examples is fun to watch. The store layout images were super helpful to make this sink in for me, but would love to see more of your rack, or you wearing them, or you building and layering the pieces. While I really like to see you talking, you could change it up with these visual examples. And hey it's Thursday, I'm here with my Chard again (only 2 sips in I swear!) and can't wait for next weeks drinking video! Again, your content is great - please don't take as criticism, just a way for us to enjoy. And pls help me style outfits for a weekend trip (in another video).

[@ifetayodavidson-cade5613]

@@ModernClassicLifeStyle I agree - the information shared is useful, but given that fashion and KZbin are both visual media, it helps to show photos or videos of the examples, and also people wearing the examples who aren't the host, in order to show a range of bodies. I realize that this makes it more difficult and time consuming to put out a video.

[@gigics1612]

I need visuals... Thanks!

[@janebrown7067]

I buy strictly thrift. Out of necessity, I have built my wardrobe instinctively following your model. However, I didn't know this until I watched your tutorial. Thank you. I really enjoy you on camera.

[@EmilyWheatley]

Thank you Jane! :-)

[@brittb1983]

I wanted to thank you so much for this information and breakdown! Every other video I have watched to try and help me with my wardrobe is always "These are the exact pieces you need in your closet." or "This is how I did it and btw look at my Cartier bracelet and my collection of Hermes bags. I'm such an influencer!" It is so great to get insight from someone who actually knows the nitty gritty and can translate it in a well thought out and cohesive manner! Thank you so so much!

[@EmilyWheatley]

Ahhh you are so welcome! I'm so happy to hear that it was truly helpful for you. Makes it all worth it :-)

[@joannejohnson7367]

Your format of modules inside a capsule wardrobe is really exciting to me. I haven’t seen anyone do this and it really suits my needs. You have a unique presentation and your style itself resonates with me. Great stuff, I’m binge watching you now as a new subscriber.

[@EmilyWheatley]

Yay!! Welcome Joanne!! I'm so glad you like my approach to Module/Capsule Wardrobes.

[@debbiedaniel9774]

This is so good...great way to approach modules/capsules! Loved your explanation of visual merchandising!

[@EmilyWheatley]

Thank you Debbie!!

[@Elaine-uf9nd]

I am in love!! First time here, never heard the "module" concept before, great content, thanks! I love this kind videos, but i have to confess, being in Brazil is difficult to follow some ideas, down here it is too warm, too hot sometimes, doing a capsule is bit of challenge, especially because Brazilians are too much concerned about clothes and looks. It can be annoying, I feel i was happier when living and dressing up in the UK.

[@EmilyWheatley]

Yay! Welcome to the channel Elaine!! I will be doing a video on styling for hot weather so maybe it can help you with creating a capsule wardrobe.

[@charliepango5249]

A very informative video. I think this is the kind of information you go to school for. The concept on enticing customers in your store vs enticing yourself to curate and shop your own closet. Such an awesome formula and I appreciate you for sharing this. ❤😊😀💕🙏

[@EmilyWheatley]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you Charlie!

[@lnsjourney]

Excellent content! I feel like this is different from everything I've seen on the topic and love your VM insider perspective!

[@EmilyWheatley]

Thank you Helene! I was hoping to be able to bring something new to the table, so glad to hear how you feel.

[@SeetalMD]

are u on skillshare? I think I would rather if u had like some notes for us to follow or like a check list with pictures to be sure we are doing these things. it seems easy but we may easily forget and get confused. if we continue following this formula we will get it sooner or later. but I love this. and if there are any other organising freaks out there like me, this will help me be more in control.

[@EmilyWheatley]

Yea maybe at some point I can do that. Thanks for the feedback! So glad the video is helpful Seetal!

[@carlarichardson08]

Great idea Seetal. I would purchase a course from Emily. She has great info!

[@dierdremarsh7088]

Emily, I had to review this again... I was so inspired with drink in hand and redid my closet . It was so cool how you drew me back to my shopping experience,back in the day! The visual review, was the master class I must say the, capsule focused. Thank you for being you, peace!

[@EmilyWheatley]

That is amazing Diedre! Love hearing that as that is the exact reason why I made the video :-) Thanks for your comment.

[@lisasamaras3109]

Fantastic video, Emily!!

[@robyncoe6441]

Thank goodness you are doing this now instead of visual merchandising!

[@jes5079]

✞God bless you Emily❣ ❤ 👋 ︿_︿ Thanks for sharing。

[@EmilyWheatley]

Thank you Jesse!

[@sarahthatcher123]

I would like to see more videos that give an example of what this looks like. I watched a video of yours recently that did this ( I'm assuming it is with your own wardrobe) ...like the footage in this video. But it would be helpful to see more examples...( other people's wardrobes/ styles) . This may not be possible until after places open up more. Just thought I'd let you know what I would like to see more of but really appreciate this approach.

[@EmilyWheatley]

This will be an ongoing topic on my channel and will always show different types of examples. Today's video I just posted will give you some examples of what you can get out of a module.

[@almaalcaraz7083]

Your fashion tips and advices are great. These kinds of videos will be more enjoyable if you have more visual aids like many pictures or videos inserted (for a reasonably prolonged time) while you're talking so you viewers could clearly imagine what you're actually saying. The pictures you showed were too far and too quick for the viewers to absorb. Just a suggestion. Thanks.

[@EmilyWheatley]

Thank you for your feedback Alma.

[@Androgynary]

Also, I found it super interesting the way you used your background in visual merchandising to explain capsules. It makes so much sense now when I think of how stores design their layout to emphasize certain pieces & themes. Honestly kind of cool that you can use the same method in your own closet!

[@EmilyWheatley]

Yes, kind of the same thing right! Just on a smaller scale. :-) Thanks L! Glad you found it interesting!

[@janicevin4207]

so the modules are seasonal vs the capsule wardrobe as a whole? could we also use the modules system within a seasonal capsule wardrobe?

[@EmilyWheatley]

Definitely, I'll be doing another video on that soon. So stay tuned!

[@eannicole205]

Love your channel ❤ where did you get that black&white cardigan? Where would you look for one like it? TY -E

[@EmilyWheatley]

It's super old from H&M actually. I've been trying to find a replacement for a while so I'll definitely let you all know when I do.

[@Androgynary]

Hi Emily, was wondering if you’ve heard of the Kibbe body types? It might make for an interesting video where you incorporate styling methods according to your type & seeing if it makes any difference to you!

[@EmilyWheatley]

Yes, I have heard of the Kibbe body types. Not a bad idea, will add to my list of possibilities. Thanks so much for your suggestion L!

Yes no problem, here is my Capsule Wardrobe playlist with all the videos I do on the subject and will continue to add to the playlist as well. kzbin.info/aero/PLw-zsvjzFwrwvy0jS2Wu1djjZ4BCFh49z

[@ritastutler1470]

I have tried to watch every video you have done. Your hair in this one, your make up and that first look..could not get better. I watch a lot of styling videos, but NO One has inspired me to take everything out of my closet, my drawers and my slide under the bed boxes. I put all the colors together in my closet and now realize most of my clothes are black, tans and browns, greys, some stripes and most of the rest denim. I have some color sprinkled in with scarves, bags, jewelry and a few brighter colors that I kept, but a minimal amount. I never had anything to wear. Now that I have a fourth of what I had before , I look forward to dressing. I bagged up eight bags for give away. The clothes were not bad. They were not my style and I did not even know until I “ met” you. My favorite look is what you have in the intro. I don’t know if that is just a black button up but I love your look . Thanks Emily Wheatley. You are an artist ❤.

[@herrgrunaan]

I’m new to his channel and going through the videos. This video really helped me build a module wardrobe for the first time! I’m so grateful I found this channel. Your approach is methodical and allows other to easily follow along. Thanks so much from a new sub!

[@EmilyWheatley]

Oh good!! I'm so glad it was the missing piece. That makes me happy to hear.

[@bluegypsy71]

Is it possible to get some visual examples how this translates to either your own wardrobe, or someone’s real closet...not that I mind the lecture, but it’s hard to visualize with a graph, as opposed to some more examples, esp when it involves fashion😊👍I think stylist Christie Ressel talks about modules also and how one can get 105 outfits from 15 pieces🤩

[@EmilyWheatley]

Yes, I will definitely continue to do videos on the topic with different examples each time.

[@debiwaleski1797]

Hi Emily, helpful video. I have your coloring, more or less. Wondering what lip products you have on. Love the color, texture.

[@EmilyWheatley]

Unfortunately I do different combos all the time. But I think in this video the main one was iliabeauty.com/products/only-you I use a lot of ILIA's lip products. So you can find most that I use there. I usually go for the true red or more mauve colors.

I would love to see how you organise your wardrobe - do you keep modules together? Or is that aspect in your head? X

[@EmilyWheatley]

It's more in my mind. But I whenever I shop/bring new pieces in I always circle back to my modules and think about how they work into those. When I am moved into our new house I'll definitely do a video on organizing.

[@theesilverghost]

I will definitely come back to this video -- and take notes! Also, I would love a hair tutorial. How the heck do you cut your own hair?

[@annaklaus8377]

Really great to have a new approach, I think this could be super inspiring, but I'll have to watch it again as it's so different and I'm not sure I get it yet 100%. An example module would be helpful, with example pieces for each of the categories you mentioned. If you want a hard brief, make it: "module for taking small kids to the playground, where a few mud splashes won't be the end of the world". Thanks for your fresh content, Emily!
