No capsule for me, I love clothes and as my son correctly states, all the colors are my favorite colors. I wear prints regularly and I shop every season.

My style is tailored and classic, but fun and age appropriate. I am known for my uniform of patterned pants and a tailored blazer at work and I love it.

Like @looch: I LOVE clothes and shopping so a capsule wardrobe isn't for me. BUT, as I've gotten older there are a few rules that I abide by that helps me make sure that everything in my closet gets worn regularly. I have an edgy, rock and roll style/look, so nearly all of what I buy has to fit into that aesthetic. Occasionally I find something classic or floral that I love, but if I can't figure out how to wear it with items that I already own, it doesn't go home with me. Example: I realized a few years ago that I hate hate hate cardigans and never wear them, so I purged my closet of them. Since then, I haven't bought a single cardigan, and never plan to again. I've found a suitable alternative in denim jackets, light leathers, or statement blazers and that's what I wear now and they all make me happy.
I do have a color palette that I mostly stick with to make things easy - black/gray/shades of red/army green are my go to hues, with some prints thrown in based on those colors. By eliminating colors that I found I don't like wearing (browns and blues, mostly) almost everything in my closet can mix and match.

I love the idea of this but in reality it hasn't really worked for me yet! I am super pregnant, so realistically I have at least a year or more of changing body size, weight loss (hopefully lol), breastfeeding, etc.... so I'll probably just be cobbling together from what I have.

I have to dress business casual for work with occasional super-dress up (suit and heels for court). And at home on the weekends with my 2yo (and soon to be new baby) I find I prefer workout shorts, running shoes, stuff like that because I'm on the go with them. Pre-kids I had a lot more "dressy casual" wardrobe stuff for weekends, going out to dinner, etc. and I find I almost never wear that now.

Plus we live in south Florida and it is HOT year round - so I really don't wear a lot of jeans, long sleeves, etc. I find it makes it a lot harder to dress, so I find myself wearing mostly workout/gym clothes type stuff on the weekends, and mostly dresses and flats to work. I mean, I am chasing him at the park and it's 90 degrees, so...

I just don't do exciting. I love casual comfy dresses and leggings. I am getting rid of most of my old shirts that needed an undershirt because I just don't care enough to wear two layers now. And I'm on a cardigan hiatus.

I only wear necklaces and my daughter tries to rip them off, so no jewelry for now!

After I became a SAHM, I did a major closet purge and came up with basically a capsule. Everything is navy/black/gray/white/cream/olive green. My go-to daytime look is either leggings or skinny jeans (have multiple pairs/style of both, including nicer ponte leggings); a plain blouse or sweater and riding boots. Almost always accessorize with a silk scarf either in my hair or around my neck. For client showings I add a blazer and switch out boots for ankle booties or heels. That’s Fall/winter/Spring... summer I am and always have been at a loss. happy to be preg in summer again so I have an excuse to live in lulu and sneakers
