You are probably here from my How to Try a Capsule Wardrobe for 31 Days post. Welcome! If not you might pop over and see what the heck I’m talking about. I am experimenting this month with the wildly popular
capsule wardrobe.
I picked out 33 pieces to create 31 outfits for the month as part of my 360° Challenge to find a simpler more intentional life this year. This month is an exercise in finding contentment in one small aspect of my world- my wardrobe- which prior to the purge was actually not small at all! But here I am. I’ve attempted to model the pieces I chose out of my closet so you could get an idea of how it works. ALSO I did it to test for myself if the Cladwell app was right and there were enough mix and match possibilities. Besides contentment I am hoping to find an ease in getting ready for the day, less thinking when going out and to see what the fuss over this capsule thing is all about. If a girl who thinks thought she needed tons of outfit options can do this then it really is worth all the hype.
So here is a look at 31 outfit possibilities for January. Update: I wore almost all of these- except for a few days when our FREEZING temperatures here in Texas called for more layering and my snow jacket to come into play!
I’ve linked to purchasable items above but some items I was unable to get direct links for. Here is a close up at the individual pieces of mine and more links below to the items again or similar ones if mine no longer exist!

What is your favorite go to item of clothing? What do you wear most often? What do you wash most often? What would you put in your capsule? Any recommendations? Comment below!
Bonus! In case you cared to know, not that you did; here are some links to my few accessories. (They are not pictured above, well, because that was more work and covered up the capsule items anyway.)
Grey Ruffle Scarf (old H&M)- couldn’t find a good similar item! darn! Really any scarf will do. Pick one in a neutral that will go with everything and is soft against your skin.
Diamond stud earrings- old from Costco for our 10 year anniversary in 2015! I seriously wear them every. single. day. Thanks again love for such a perfect gift.
Occasionally, aka rarely, I’ll put on a dangly pair of earrings for an event. I’ve been using these leather feather ones a friend gave me- she makes them! Lightweight enough for me and go with everything. Thanks Whit at Dazzling Hospitality.
And that’s a rap. If I had a wrap in my capsule that would’ve been a fun little pun. Next time.
