Do this for Your Fall Capsule Wardrobe

There are times when I can predict the future. Today is one of them. Because I know that if you dedicate an afternoon to the activity I am about to describe, you will be happy with the results...
​

This post is about decluttering your closet. But not in the way you might be used to doing. I have a plan! And if you'll follow these steps, you will be much more likely to enjoy what's in your closet throughout the fall season.
​

Start with Your Own Plan

By the end of this month, I will have given you everything you need to design your fall capsule wardrobe, including a free, printable worksheet. 

(1) First, decide what you most want to wear that you already own.

​(2) Is there anything you want to add to it that you don't yet have?

​(3) Create a written plan with a color palette and at least some fave outfit ideas, or a daily uniform formula in mind.

​Now, the Closet Makeover Begins

First, take out anything that is too worn to continue wearing or that no longer fits. Do whatever you want with them, but don't put them back into the closet.

Next, take out and store the summer clothes that you know you won't wear during the fall.

Closely examine what's left and for each item, ask and answer this question...

Does this fit both my fall capsule wardrobe plan and my current lifestyle?

For example, if your plan includes what you will wear to work once the pandemic is over, gather those clothes and store them together in one container, so you can get to them immediately, once it's time. But don't keep reaching around them this fall, to get to what you'll be wearing at home.

Your Fall Capsule Wardrobe

Now, the only clothes left should be what you are planning to wear this fall. Look at your plan again to see if you have everything you need that you already own and everything listed that you plan to acquire.

Once that is done, you will be finished with your closet makeover and ready for fall.

Is there anything you already know you are looking forward to wearing this fall?

See you tomorrow!

Love, Jeanine
