Some will tell you Capsule Building a Fall 2015 wardrobe is the only answer. \u00a0For me, I love the idea. \u00a0But, what happens when I&#8217;ve sewn all my pieces? \u00a0Does my machine just collect dust for the rest of the season? \u00a0I found a Seasonal <a href=\"http:\/\/My Seasonal Shopping Plan Use this list in your closet to evaluate what you have and what you need. Then use this list the next time your shopping to help you determine what you need! HAVE ENOUGH (2 or 3 of each is a good number) NEED (What did you get rid of or need to update?)

A total of around 24 items.<\/p>\n<p>I can work with this! \u00a0Although no dresses were mentioned, which is concerning for me \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the first step in building a wardrobe is defining your style. \u00a0I found a worksheet for this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artinthefind.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Define-Your-Style-Worksheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here.<\/a>\u00a0Art in the find has a wonderful graphic of ways to pair your clothing. \u00a0I would love to share the entire library here, but I don&#8217;t think there is enough space. \u00a0Please visit her page. \u00a0So much to learn from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artinthefind.com\/style-ideas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">her.<code>[envira-gallery id=\"2183\"]<\/code><br \/>\n<code>[envira-gallery slug=\"art-in-the-park-ideas\"]<\/code><\/a>\u00a0I included a couple of photos to tease you. Click on the title on her site and a whole library opens up!<\/p>\n<p>There are so many versions on the internet to help you along your way of defining what your wardrobe should and shouldn&#8217;t be. Another website has a <a href=\"https:\/\/into-mind.com\/workbook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">workbook<\/a> to help you along the way.

For the perfect outfit she asks \u00a0&#8220;What is the ensemble\u00a0perfect for?&#8221;\u00a0and &#8220;What are the main accessories, hair and make up variations?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I am no where near as creative or organized as these ladies. \u00a0I personally buy fabric with a vague purpose in mind. \u00a0Then make something with it, say a skirt. \u00a0At that point I realize I have no idea what type of top, jacket, or accessories are appropriate for said ensemble. Eventually, I get there and look good. \u00a0I just don&#8217;t take a straight path like these brilliant ladies. \u00a0I hope you find something useful for your own sewing here, ENJOY!<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 8\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"layoutArea\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overall, the first step in building a wardrobe is defining your style.
