5 Reasons to Create a Mini Capsule

5 Reasons to Create a Mini Capsule

There was always an upcoming event, and thus an excuse to go out and buy something new. I have eliminated this scenario by making a well crafted little mini-capsule. - uselesswardrobe.dk

It's certainly possible to create a mini capsule. And in fact, in just a few minutes, I'll show you that it's actually easy.

But why should you consider creating one? Here are several possibilities...

(1) Self-care - you've just had a bad break-up, or you're sniffling an sneezing with this year's flu. And you have a mini capsule for each, along with a style uniform for bad days, down days, and more.

(2) Self expression - you want to connect with or focus more deeply on a part of yourself, like your faith, or your self-confidence. Or a hobby you love.

(3) Travel, holidays, other occasional wear - many people create holiday capsules over the years without even trying. But the result could be that you have several cute red sweaters, but not enough green ones.

Being on purpose about creating this mini capsule will help you get clear about what you need.

The same thing is true if you're packing for a trip. You can get the most out of what you take if you plan it by creating a capsule.

(4) Temporary projects - whenever you're ready to start writing, you make a big pot of tea, clear your schedule for a couple of days and start looking for your coziest clothes. Why not create a cozy clothes capsule?

(5) Weekly wardrobe planning - you could choose to create a capsule every Sunday night as the week begins, based on what's coming up that week, organized around a color you have been wanting to wear more of, or just because you're in the mood to dress for a theme.
​

How to Create a Mini Capsule


First, identify the reason for your mini capsule.

Next choose the number of pieces you want to use for a capsule. It will match the number of days you spend wearing only those pieces. The 5x5 capsule challenge is popular right now, but you could choose 7 pieces for 7 days or 10 for 10, or whatever number you want.

Once you have settled on a number, choose the pieces you want to wear and set them aside just before it's time to wear your capsule. By the way, your accessories don't count, so you can wear as many of those as you'd like.

Once you begin wearing your capsule, write about how it's going, in your journal, and take note of any changes you would make next time around. And enjoy your mini capsule!

Did this post give you any ideas about creating your own mini capsule? Tell me in your comment.

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine

I'm enjoying learning about capsule wardrobes. I'm going to build one for trips!

That sounds like a great idea, if you do a lot of traveling! I don't, anymore, but mini capsules have helped me in the past, for sure.

I love this idea! There are times when I'm trying to figure out what to wear for a party or event and it takes hours looking through my closet to find the right top to go with the bottom. This makes it so much easier to have my outfit all eady for when needed!

Thanks, Martha! That's what I love about it, too. None of the on-the-spot, "what to wear" anxiety because you'll already know, or have a much easier time deciding.

I have created mini capsules for travel, which for me is a special occasion. I really like having an occasional wear capsule, especially keeping it all together. This would make things so much easier!

Neat! I agree - even if you didn't keep it in your main closet, but had them all together somewhere else, that would make it much easier.

Sometimes, I join groups and take long walks in different places for a variety of causes. It would be awesome to create a travel capsule so I don't need to carry a lot of clothes when I am ready for the adventure!

That would be great! I used to do that, in fact, and it made traveling a little easier. I had a base I kept ready and then added to it each time.

    ​Hi, I'm Jeanine Byers :)

    I'm an author,  Christian image consultant, proud former homeschool boy mom of a college student, Hallmark movie fan and big cuppa tea drinker. 

    I believe that creating your signature style is a spiritual calling. It's about seeing yourself as God does and delighting in your own beauty and style.

    I'm specializing in color analysis and signature style for black women.

    As women of color, we often aren't analyzed correctly when we receive color analysis. And all of our lives, we have been given sometimes subtle, and sometimes more overt societal messages about not meeting the cultural standards of beauty.

    My mission is to help you discover, embrace and celebrate your own beauty and style. 

    Thanks for dropping by! I'll see you soon.

    Love, Jeanine
