Over a month ago I posted an "already missing my wardrobe thread", bemoaning that i would be away from my closet for 2 months. I took the advice some of you gave and threw in some extra stuff. It has been over a month now with several feet of snow and lots of winter. It still is. That has limited my choices, especially footwear and coats.
I want to especially thank Angie for her capsule posts. I have learned so much from trying to follow them and how varying color, pattern and silhouette can keep it from getting boring. Someone linked to a capsule template from another site, but it doesn't go into enough detail. For example it allows for 6 (or more) tops, but following Angie's casual fall capsule I learned that varying them...buttondown, knits, graphic tee, print, stripes, etc...is what really makes this work. A huge thank you to Angie that I am not bored out of my mind by now because I remembered to include variety for both winter and spring.
I have tried to write this several times, always getting called away before hitting Submit, thus losing it. So I'm submitting now.
