There are a few ways you can make getting dressed easier but one of the main ways is by creating a
capsule wardrobe. A capsule wardrobe is a grouping of six to twelve items that mix and match. Before
you get started on your capsule wardrobe the first thing you need to know is your style personality
and the reason for this is you want to dress in a way that's authentic to you. So it wouldn't
be much good to have a wardrobe capsule that all the pieces matched but they weren't really
authentic for you. If you'd like to know how to determine your style personality I've made a video
right here and you can check that out. When you dress to suit your style personality you will save
time and money because you won't buy items that don't really fit with you and have items in your
closet that you're wondering - "Why don't I like this"? "Why don't I wear it more?" "Why doesn't
that feel right?" If any of those things are true for you is probably because it isn't your style.
A lot of women make the mistake of buying styles that are popular and also styles that look great
on other people and that's not the way to do it. You need to find out what's good for you, the
second thing to take into consideration is your lifestyle. You can create a capsule wardrobe for
each part of your life, so maybe you can create one for work, you can create one for leisure,
you can create one for travel. It would be a good idea to make a graph to just think about how much
time you spend in each area of your life and that would mean that your most important capsule
would be the one where you spend the most time. What I mean by most important,
is that's the one you would want to build on more. If most of your time is spent at work
create a capsule for work, if most of your time is spent at leisure, create a capsule for that. So
let me show you how to create a capsule wardrobe - the first thing you want to do is make sure
you spend most of your money on clothes that you wear the most and also buy high quality fabric.
So you don't have to do this over and over buy good quality clothes that are classic and for a
bit of fun add in some trendy items. First let's start with this one wardrobe grouping with a
jacket, three tops, two bottoms and a dress. I'll talk about accessories and shoes later. When you
have one grouping you can always create other ones that mix and match in with that one and you'll
want to buy fabrics that go together well and also lines that go together well and don't forget it's
very important as well to buy items in your best colours. You can build a wardrobe with all solids
but it makes it much more interesting if you throw in a few prints. Everyone likes different types of
prints - decide which print you like most and then incorporate that one into your capsule
you can also bring prints in with accessories. Here's an example of a capsule wardrobe so you
can see how they're all put together. This wardrobe grouping is for leisure and places
you might go like to lunch with friends to the theater, driving or maybe to a friend's party.
Starting with the bottoms and the bottoms can be jeans pants or skirts and it's best if they are
neutral such as black, gray, brown or beige and we have the first top with the jacket and now we have
the same jacket and pants different accessories with top number two again the same pants with
top number three and the shoes have changed i'm also wearing this top on top for a different look
next bottom is a pair of jeans with top number one and a jacket,
Now the jacket is the same top number two with different accessories
and top number three with the same jacket different accessories and this look could
have a few more accessories to make it look better and then we have the last the dress
and the dress could be in a solid colour and actually will be more versatile if it has simple
lines and it's a neutral colour. When it comes to accessories you can really spice up your wardrobe
with accessories that first suit you, are the accessories that you love,
accessories that match your outfit in terms of if it's formal casual or for career. This is a great
way to put your personality into your outfits you can spice up your wardrobe by changing your
handbag, by changing your shoes, by adding scarves and by adding shawls. There are many different
ways that you can spice up your wardrobe so now let's talk about shoes. Shoes are very important
when it comes to the overall look of your outfit. The best shoe of course is one that's comfortable
and blends well with your outfit. Your shoe does not have to match your handbag in colour,
I mean it doesn't have to be the same colour, it still has to match your whole overall outfit so
the colours of your outfit should all blend well together. The best shoes for jeans will depend
on the type of jeans whether it's a skinny leg, a wide leg, how long the jeans are. Here's an
example of a skinny leg and a pair of shoes that will look great with a skinny leg. These look
better with a boot cut and these look better with a wide leg. When it comes to skirts and dresses
shoes with a low vamp will make your legs look longer and stay away from big clunky shoes. It
is possible to get comfortable shoes that also look good so here are a couple styles of shoes
that I think are easy to incorporate into your wardrobe. So here you go, now you can start your
capsule wardrobe and you have a better idea of how to add on and keep it going. If this is something
