Sew….I started wondering who came up with this Capsule wardrobe stuff? \u00a0Surely it’s not new. \u00a0Nothing really is in the fashion world. Capsule’s of all varieties came from England. Doesn’t everything come from there? \u00a0America even came from England. lol \u00a0Seams as though, a lady named Susie<\/a> Faux was living in London in the 70’s and opened a new shop, London’s West End. \u00a0The idea was that everything for a total look was in the same store. \u00a0Kind of like our malls today. \u00a0But not really, because it was all in the same store. \u00a0That’s cool! \u00a0No running from place to place, using up excess gas and time. \u00a0The American Capsule was the brainchild of\u00a0Donna Karan!\u00a0\u00a0One of my all time faves! Simplicity is key here, she is the creator of the simple American wardrobe.<\/p>\n

In the 80’s, Donna Karan developed a clothing concept based on seven, only SEVEN pieces! \u00a0I remember this so well. \u00a0I believe this is where my love of BLACK originated. \u00a0The woman always looks amazing, head to toe comfy black coordinates. \u00a0I knew at that moment, I would dress like her. She opened up her portion of the fashion show with her models all dressed in black bodysuits and pants. \u00a0They added pieces to create wearable wardrobes. She wanted wardrobes for women who hate shopping and don’t have time anyway.<\/p>\n

This brings us to the wardrobe capsule resurgence today. It seems to be a thing. \u00a0Everyone is doing it, each for their own reason. \u00a0I’m “studying” the concept. \u00a0I’m checking it out, but have not followed the steps in order, or maybe not at all. \u00a0It’s actually a method of self analysis. \u00a0What do I look best wearing? What shape am I? What is my skin coloring? I really think this is a great concept. \u00a0I think everyone should clean out their closets, but for me, It’s more important to wear what makes me feel good. \u00a0If you are sincerely interested in following or learning more about the capsule, this is a great website<\/a> and includes links to more websites.<\/p>\n

I believe confidence is the most important accessory. If you follow a capsule’s recommendations on shape, coloring, and all the other aspects they may not reflect your personality. \u00a0You may be uncomfortable wearing the suggested colors and shapes. \u00a0The clothes don’t make the person, the personality makes the person. I like the basic<\/a>\u00a0concept here. \u00a0But, you are dressing yourself so ENJOY!<\/p>\n
