I've also toyed with the concept of one item in, one item out, meaning when you buy an item, you sell one and that way, you keep your wardrobe from exploding but the problem is, at where I am at, it's difficult to sell used clothes, there are no thrift shops and people are not huge on eBays and stuff so I often can't get rid of it.The Merry Travellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443341464513747894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611824716034150758.post-64805700807512159172011-03-31T22:55:23.550+08:002011-03-31T22:55:23.550+08:00Mode Plus: I agree.

It is more like a utopian dream I want to work towards gradually one item at a time by downsizing my wardrobe to start, to make less impulsive buys and really sit and chew on what I should be spending on and hopefully I will achieve it some day! <br /><br />Laurelann: Wouldn't it? I found that I suck at packing for vacation and planning outfits but in doing this post, I found it helpful and very purposeful in thinking carefully of what I can do to minimize what I bring on travels but yet look good. My aim for travels is to usually look good for day and night but yet be comfortable for a whole lot of walking and this is created with that in mind. You can also spend some time and search for images on the internet that mimics what you already have and put outfits together! That way, you can just throw things into your luggage and still know you look great! It's like a guideline.<br /><br />Kristin Marie: I don't have all the pieces over here but it's a combination of what I would like to have and some of the things I actually own. I have that bow blouse and the skirt but I don't have the exact polka dot dress.<br /><br />Bella: A capsule wardrobe need not have ANY fashionable items in it. You can just work it with quality pieces and that's actually a great start! I only include some trendy pieces in mind because these are trends I know I would like to wear even if they go off.<br /><br />Pretty Penny Mae: Sadly that polka dot dress I've googled is what I'll love to own but it's from F21 which means it's too small for us folks. I have this one without sleeves though - http://www.asos.com/Asos/Asos-Sleeveless-Drop-Waist-Spot-Oversized-Shift-Dress/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=1415025&SearchQuery=oversized&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Spot<br /><br />Stiletto Siren: Thanks girl. I just ordered that mesh dot dress hehe but I can't fit into the peachy top for sure.

Like not staying with a piece of clothing for a long time, buying it, wearing the hell out of it for several weeks and sell it again, so you can really change you style and stuff every week.<br />I like the idea, cause I often see pieces I would like to wear once a lifetime, or just in a special combination, and that is it. So I thought of selling a lot of my stuff to get buy new and than...sell it again...or maybe kind of trade it with someone else...my skirt for yours...;D<br />I do love the stuff you picked, but I think I coudln't live with something like that, I am chancing my mind constantly and there is to many trends I really, really want to live. But I think if you like it, it can be a really great way of having a really classic but still awesome looking style!Katrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10771708385965378234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611824716034150758.post-3548334616731706602011-03-31T22:37:08.109+08:002011-03-31T22:37:08.109+08:00Such a great post I love all those pieces espeical...Such a great post I love all those pieces espeically that mesh dot dress and the peachy sequin top!

I just read an article of someone living on only 20 clothing items excluding shoes/accessories. I also tried to minimise by participating with 30x30 challenge. Well, I wasn't a star in this challenge. But what I stopped doing, is buying whenever something is on a discount. It helps me not to overbuy and have regrets. For example it's been ages since I ordered from ASOS. Hmm, this capsule wardrobe thing ain't as easy as it looks. Please share more details when u'r so far. <3Mode Plushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02588165300987328466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611824716034150758.post-35588609821227707682011-03-31T16:29:31.434+08:002011-03-31T16:29:31.434+08:00Thank you Ms. Thicker Than Your Average Girl!
La...Thank you Ms. Thicker Than Your Average Girl! <br /><br />Laura: I think having safe colours are the easiest NOT to go wrong and yes, occasional pops of colours are a must so as not to appear we didn't launder our clothes! <br /><br />lillipilli: :( The skirt has been discontinued but there it is http://www.tallulahfashion.com/skirts-11/sportmax-alinda-black-pleated-skirt-546.htm and the sweetheart neckline sequin top is from Topshop! <br /><br />alliejayne: I have a lot of random bits too and sometimes I'm lost at what to wear. I think I definitely have quantity over quality. I guess when you restrict yourself to only that many pieces, you force yourself to be creative.
