Thank you for watching!
I always tell you that our capsules are as complex and beautiful as our lifestyles, and today I’m going to prove it to you with a real life example. Courtney is one of my clients and she is the perfect example of how a versatile wardrobe can give you beautiful outfits for all occasions.
Courtney is a magnetic personality with a lot of energy, a business to lead and children to run after. She might not fit your classical lifestyle type, but that’s not the point.
I’ve spoken to her at length about the capsule she’s currently wearing so I’d like to show you how you can follow the same stylistic advice to create a capsule wardrobe that fits your own lifestyle.
All of the stylistic principles applied here such as body harmony, color harmony and personal style harmony can be easily learned by taking the wonder wardrobe course.
If you’re struggling with time, geeking out with me in the classroom might not be your thing. If that’s the case, just do what Courtney did, and write me an email so we can set up a personal consultation.
You can see Courtney’s coaching business and all her entrepreneurial endeavors on instagram at courtneylsanders. As a public figure and speaker she obviously needed outfits that help her shine no matter what business occasion she finds herself in.
Meetings with clients and collaborators are a weekly activity for her, so she needed the majority of outfits to make her feel empowered, confident and look approachable.
As she’s very active on KZbin and social media, different outfits were needed for that as well. Looking bold and sophisticated on camera is part of anyone’s personal branding, and I will show you how those outfits look like in a second.
Her work continues behind the camera, and just like the rest of us she needed work from home outfits as well.
The first step of creating her wardrobe was to list all her activities to understand what kind and how many outfits she needed. You can also quickly find out how many outfits you need by making a list of all the activities you’ll be involved in the next 3 months. I show how do that in detail in the Wonder Wardrobe course.
As you can see, we’ve decided to divide her wardrobe into 2 and create one capsule for business occasions and another capsule for working from home and leisure time.
The color palette for her Business wardrobe was inspired by a painting by Emilio Pettoruti that I saw in the modern art museum here in Lisbon. When I saw it I thought that it has that magnetic energy, powerful combinations of colours, and interesting textures.
The only thing was that this Dark violet is a bit too dark and won’t fit Courtney that well. It’s just too serious for her. So I added a few colours that in my professional opinion will make her shine and express her personality much better. The final palette for Courtney’s Winter Color Type looks like this.
For neutral colours I chose light gray, navy and black. For main colours I have lavender, light emerald green, imperial blue, light turquoise and raspberry. For the accent colour I added this beautiful shade of pink.
The final version of her business capsule wardrobe includes 1 dress, 4 tops, 4 bottoms, 1 suit, 2 bags and 2 pairs of shoes. When I mix all these items together, Courtney gets at least 25 fully interchangeable outfits.

Thank you for sharing a capsule with such bold colors! It’s helpful to see a wardrobe with so few neutral colors that is fully interchangeable. It’s interesting how the electric blue pants are actually toned down by the color of the tops, whereas a less bold choice would make the pants stand out and the outfit feel less balanced.

[@shananigans0117]

I love how you utilized bold colors, so many of these fashion channels only use neutral colors but neutrals totally wash me out, so this is great inspiration!

[@irairod5160]

This was FANTASTIC! I like how you reinterpreted the deep violet you thought would be too dark into colors within the same family, but much lighter and brighter--lilac, pink, raspberry...the palette is gorgeous. I always appreciate your fearlessness in combining different hues, and I personally find this capsule very appealing since I have "deep winter" coloring.

[@wonderwardrobe]

Oh thank you so much! I feel like colors help to set the mood of the capsule so it’s a process I take seriously.

[@lacycox8075]

I love how you showed the 2 capsules and how they overlap! So inspiring.

[@wonderwardrobe]

Thanks! Happy to hear you enjoyed it! New videos are coming soon 😉

[@ZurditaDinamita]

First of all, that outfits in the thumbnail look GREAT! I always love your daring color sense, I hope I'll be able to create such cool and creative outfits! 💜

[@wonderwardrobe]

I hope so too! But take it slow and start with just a few bold colors and try them to match with what you have. This way you can better understand if that’s ‘You’.

[@Kim-em9cn]

I love these full walk-throughs, thank you Daria❣️

[@wonderwardrobe]

You’re welcome! I am happy you enjoyed it! New videos are coming soon ☺️

[@SomebodySaid]

Yay you're back!! Love the way you explained the steps in the end ☺️ and yes, I do end up wearing the same outfits over and over. It's because I'm lazy I think 😂

[@wonderwardrobe]

There’s nothing wrong with repeating your outfits 😉

[@hw7029]

Love this! Gorgeous colours and a range of interesting designs- you’d never get tired of your wardrobe :)

[@annacalhan2628]

Love your haircut and the color and fit of your outfits looks really beautiful on you.

[@annaklaus8377]

Your colourful capsules are amazing Daria! I find them very inspiring. It's like magic how you show combinations of colour with colour, rather than always colour with neutral.

[@emiliecavallo]

Well done Daria! This video is SO useful! xx

[@YveWin]

Thank you for this. Normally, you see beige/tan, greys, all neutrals. But this has bright and dark tones.

[@zoepoel5276]

Love this wardrobe! It actually fits my colortype, so getting a lot of ideas from this :)

[@garlicgirl3149]

I just learned something... percentage based on lifestyle!!! I will incorporate that next time I make a purchase.

[@GenesisAcevedoDeChacon]

Hi, Daria! Thank you so much, this video was great, amazing, and useful!

[@laineydunlop2161]

Such a helpful and informative video Daria. I loved the colours and realised these are colours that suit me but I am not buying or wearing. My choices are too safe. I would love to see a video on how to carry out a search for items online across different budgets. I think my shopping universe is too limited and it would be helpful to have some tips on how to broaden it. Thank you. 😘

[@melifiscentgirl]

This is really amazing Daria and feeling very inspired that I could do this too!

[@wonderwardrobe]

Nice! Have fun exploring your options!

[@pepperysunshine4]

One of the best videos yet...all of them are my favorites really, but this one really applies to me.

[@katem3961]

So excited to find a video using my colour palette. Has given me so many ideas for outfits and no need to buy anything new. Thank you 🩷💙🤍💜

[@wonderwardrobe]

I'm super excited that you found the video useful. It's amazing that you're getting creative with your existing wardrobe - who says we need to shop for new stuff all the time, right? I'm really glad the color palette hit the mark for you. Keep having fun mixing and matching your outfits, and thanks a bunch for your kind words! Stay tuned for more fashion inspiration!

[@Miyankochan]

awesome video, very helpful!

[@drimeloca]

Fantastic! Thank you!

[@brittanystorey9460]

This was amazing!

[@sylviegrandmaison2735]

Love your outfit!

[@civantina]

So beautiful colours!! A wonderful selection of pieces. Love it!

[@wonderwardrobe]

Thanks! As always you’re so kind!

[@GGMCreates]

Can you go over the revision step sometime? I don't really want to buy a completely new wardrobe, but struggle to see where the gaps are in what I have.

[@joannajoanna2172]

Great video! 😍

[@kheriphillip878]

Go Courtney! This is super great!

[@wonderwardrobe]

Yes! I love seeing her in these outfits. She looks fabulous ❤️

[@sawittreesaeng-ngern1351]

I like your information. Thank you.

[@AnkaMara7940]

Wow what a beautiful colour palette, so refreshing, I like cold and fresh colours although warm ones suit me better, unfortunately I don't like them

[@sattvadevi]

I love this video! Please make more like this - so inspierinf with an example of a real person! 😊

[@wonderwardrobe]

Thanks! Not all my clients are willing to go public like this but I’ll ask 😌

[@helenz8049]

Amazing video! I love logical and reasonable approach to creating a capsule, i.e. wardrobe science!!! For me, overwhelming is to see my wardrobe not working after shift from office to WFH despite the fact I have renewed everything past 2 years!!! Now I can see why- I’ve missed few steps as outlined in your vid!

[@wonderwardrobe]

I have another video specifically for WFH wardrobe: wonder-wardrobe.com/blog/work-from-home-capsule-wardrobe You might find some new tips in there. I am also working on a Webinar about this topic as many people have trouble adapting their style to the ‘new reality’. The registration will start in March 😉

[@Tee-ts6ce]

Bravo!

[@blue-flower13]

Beautiful xx 🌼

[@wonderwardrobe]

Thanks! 🌸

[@svetlananana9609]

Thank you very much♥️I am ever so delighted when I see lavender. As it is my favorite color together with green, sage and teal It is sooo informative to see real life examples with pictures. And also a good move for the ones who are shown as you use your platform to push their visibility Every time amazed how you manage to put together the bags with everything and how the colors go well together. Just for the pink/rose shoes combined with red my inner voice of Russian upbringing screamed. Even though I see fashionstas doing it😅👌😄 hard to get used to it

[@wonderwardrobe]

Thanks so much for you kind words! I am happy that you found this video useful! I get that maybe light pink shoes seem a bit impractical but my client has Summer all year long so there it’s not weird at all ;)

[@abigaelmacritchie1365]

The work / mum balance is so hard to achieve, this video was really helpful! Thanks so much Daria

[@wonderwardrobe]

I made many-many capsules for women that are balancing work and motherhood. I’ll ask them if I can show some examples here on YT. It can be interesting as even though the theme is the same, the capsules always look completely different ;)

[@abigaelmacritchie1365]

@@wonderwardrobe that would be absolutely fantastic! ❤

[@gaurvanvitaawasthi5899]

Hey! I just found your channel and I'm kind-a obsessed with the style of your videos!! Would love to see a video for corporate outfits' capsule❤❤

[@nicoletepe6050]

Daria - stunning!! What beautiful saturated colors and everything goes together so well. You are so talented. 💙 thanks for sharing this capsule. Truly a WOW wardrobe in every sense! Ps, where are you even finding all these gorgeous colors, everything I see online is so bleah right now!

[@elsie2]

Beautifully put together, love these colours. Any sharing of where the pieces are from? Love the sleeveless tops and the casual overshirt/jacket!

[@oumeilan]

Your earrings look really nice too!

[@wonderwardrobe]

Ah thanks! 😘

[@yueji2010]

your earrings are very beautiful

[@cheryloreilly2641]

Love love you

[@wonderwardrobe]

🤗

[@antonina0zuzanna]

I love this real-life example! If you can prepare more it would be so inspiring :) Btw, is she a summer or a winter type? These colors look very cold and many of them are muted. Just the bigger contrasts and all-darker colors looks more like winter type. But lavender and soft green suit summer type 🧐

[@mmesanaa]

Those colors are beautiful! They are so bright!! But to me some look like they have a cold undertone... am I crazy? I struggle so much with color! :(

[@wonderwardrobe]

Yes, they are all cool shades. You were right!

[@cyrillavieille3098]

Is this a winter color palette?

[@wonderwardrobe]

Yes, it is!

[@naughtytwins6687]
