I’m thrilled this system works for you.

You’ve inspired me to document everything in my closet.<br /> I follow a similar system but nowhere as organized. So therapeutic </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/augustseptember-capsule#post-1958610 Fri, 21 Sep 2018 14:35:30 +0000 Carla 1958610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely collection. I love your use of light blue, and the pop of red with specs. Please post your October/November capsule! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/augustseptember-capsule#post-1958606 Fri, 21 Sep 2018 14:27:46 +0000 Meredith 1958606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RobinF: Coset cleanses are so therapeutic!</p> <p>Bonnie: Glad the visuals help! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/augustseptember-capsule#post-1958605 Fri, 21 Sep 2018 14:24:58 +0000 Meredith 1958605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn: Yes, I have other things that I mix in to keep things fresh and interesting. They might be last season’s version of items from “the list,” or splurges, or things I just buy on a whim. I usually have the capsule items in one place because I want to reach for them first (because like you I like to wear the heck out of things and refresh rather frequently). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/augustseptember-capsule#post-1958604 Fri, 21 Sep 2018 14:16:46 +0000 Jenn 1958604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This seems like a fantastic method! So, am I understanding right that this isn’t your whole closet, but the core of essentials that you build around? I really like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/augustseptember-capsule#post-1958597 Fri, 21 Sep 2018 13:45:00 +0000 RobinF 1958597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How satisfying to see it out like that, everything goes together so well. I really need to do a big closet cleanse.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/augustseptember-capsule#post-1958589 Fri, 21 Sep 2018 13:33:14 +0000 Bonnie 1958589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a beautiful, well thought out capsule. I really like the way you have photographed it. I can see how everything works together. Thanks for sharing. This is very helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/augustseptember-capsule#post-1958577 Fri, 21 Sep 2018 13:07:14 +0000 Meredith 1958577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, friends! It’s been ages since I’ve participated (life got busy), but I had all of my August/September capsule clean and hanging in one place so I figured I’d write up a quick capsule post.</p> <p>A quick “about me:” I teach social science and humanities courses at a rural college. The vibe among the faculty and staff skews casual and we have no official dress code. As a person I want to present myself as polished, engaging, and approachable. I’m not sure those are really style descriptors, but I do keep them in mind when I’m shopping. </p> <p>I have a list of about 30 items that I want to make sure are in my closet each season. I’ve been experimenting with this method for about three years now and started because my wardrobe was unbalanced (too many tops, not enough bottoms) and I was reluctant to splurge on anything. Overall, I wanted to create a system that ensured a handful of functional outfits to cover day to day needs with the flexibility to spend big on a few items. This list undergoes some revision at the end of each season, but at this point I’m pretty close to a consistent list that works for me.</p> <p>Some items can cross the seasons while others get switched out (you can look at the spreadsheet to get an idea of what my I mean). I also wear things that are not pictured or listed on the spreadsheet (I have more summer toppers, for example), but the items below represent the core of my wardrobe. They strike the right balance of lights, darks, and midtones; color and print; and variety of styles.</p> <p>The August/September capsule is the most casual of my seasonal capsules because it is vey hot an humid during this time of the year. I will continue to wear these items through the end of the month at which point I’ll switch to a October/November capsule with more of a fall vibe.</p> <p>Hope you enjoy looking! Questions and feedback welcome. </p>
