One more benefit of capsule dressing that I had not anticipated is that once I define a capsule (example, loungewear) and start working to develop it, I am loath to settle for subpar items that don't enhance the overall capsule. I discovered this this afternoon while I was skimming over sale items. I found lots of stuff that interested me, but when I mentally placed that item in my capsule, the item fell short for any number of reasons. Once I realized the item won't work, I put it back and moved on without a second's hesitation.
