No worries everyone! I have a ton of cashmere sweaters from the thrift stores, I bide my time, keep checking and there they are! Just got a lovely grey striped one, a midnight blue one from the men’s department, in all colours and sizes….. no one has to pay full price for a cashmere, which should NEVER be dry cleaned, washed in a machine on gentle or by hand, hang on a rack to dry and pull off the pills when damp or get a cashmere Comb which is so cheap! There is always another way, like wool pants, no one wants them, but they are easy! And Warm, and Classic! Happy hunting from Georgia in BC

I love your use of silk scarves, I think they add so much to an outfit. I’ve worn them for forty years, they’ve always been a part of my wardrobe. I wish I could get that one of yours with the white background, but it’s sold out. I just got the most beautiful one ever with that deep ruby color (from D&G), in a Baroque pattern on my favorite white background (dark colors near my face don’t flatter me).

Thanks for your hard work to help us. I just put together a bunch of ribbon in the colors I plan to wear. Now when I go through my clothes or when shopping I will know what is going to fit with everything else. I too have found cashmere at the thrift store, but I don't go very often, so it was worth getting two on sale during black Friday sale. The whole point of capsule wardrobe is very few items of best available quality. I have a very casual life, but I can still incorporate your ideas. Even a trip to the grocery store or doing laundry is nicer when I look good. Dollar Tree baby shampoo is great for cashmere. Very gentle. So grateful for you.

You appear to be similar in size to me but when I choose oversized looks they are usually too long in the arms or just look overwhelming. I would love to know how to be able to make pieces like this work; I hope you will consider discussing this in the future.

I really struggle with this concept of capsule wardrobe because....for example, I NEVER wear blazers or button down shirts...so those are money wasters if I were to invest in those pieces. I wish I came across someone with a romantic feminine classy style.
@rebamoon4965 Жыл бұрын
I dress capsule to save money, elevate my look, and simplify my days. Once you begin, going back to "outfits" is not an option. I was blessed with a lightweight cashmere sweater from Neiman Marcus...in classy black. A thrift store sleeper for about $3. Less is more when you follow this video. Learn what accent colors look best on you. If it's pink, then add accessories, scarves, and blouses to add a pop of color. Always keep a black dress handy, which offers endless styling options. It's always preferable to wear a few pieces of fine quality jewelry/watch, than several matching cheap pieces. Save for a statement watch like Movado. Go for one stunning ring instead of multiple low quality rings. Same with earrings, bracelets, belts, scarves, and even shoes are essential to elevate your style. Overall, capsule dressing is fun and easy. I'll never go back!
