Getting the Most from Your Capsule Wardrobe

By Imogenl @ImogenLamport

NoRepeat November is all about getting the most value from your wardrobe. Some may worry that if they are currently working with a small wardrobe (say those Project 333 peeps) or capsule wardrobe that they will find this challenge impossible, but I want you to think a little more outside of the box.

1. How can you create more outfits with less pieces

  • If you have a capsule wardrobe that works together, you will find that there are more options than you realize.
  • If the colours work together, or patterns can be combined easily (such as stripes with florals, stripes with animal print etc.) then you are on to some winning formulas.

2. How can you accessorize differently

  • How can you layer pieces to create new looks?
  • Will a change of shoes make your outfit appear different?
  • Have you got a selection of accessory capsules in different colours you can work with to make life more interesting?
  • Do you ever think about wearing a scarf as a shrug to create a new outfit?
  • Do you use accessories to make a basic dress more versatile?

3. How can you be more creative with your wardrobe
