Capsule?

Ruby Redlocks

Hello all,

What is the capsules everyone is mentioning? I tried searching to educate myself on the lingo, but never ran across the definition. If someone wouldn't mind pointing me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

It's a small subset of your clothes that mix and match. It could be for a type of occasion - Opera Capsule, or color based - Red and Cream Capsule, or for a trip or type of weather like Fall Casual Capsule. Or your workweek clothes -Officewear Capsule. That kind of thing.

What a great idea! I'm not sure what I thought it might be, but I didn't think of that at all. Love it...hmmmm....I am going to start my capsule making lists now.
Thanks Mo!

Hey Ruby, I'm at the point of starting down the capsule road myself. Thanks for inspiring me to do some research. Look what I found for both of us! The perfect place to start - Angie's post on building capsules!!! Good luck -- hope we are both successful.

Angie has a bunch of posts on building capsules. If you search the blog archives you'll find more. I have been down that rabbit hole a LOT of times! And eventually it even sinks in!

Thank you, that link looks perfect!
Can't wait to dive in. We'll have to compare notes. So glad to have someone starting like myself.

Aha, did not realize that I had to search separately. Still learning to navigate the site. That will be very helpful! Thank you!

Work
Weekend
Date Night

Oops, finger slipped to submit.

Our capsules nearly match. My husband and I met in the 90's at a swing dance class. We're hoping to get back out there more often. We have a 6 year old, so gave up dance nights. The grandparents are always willing to kidnap him for a night, though.

Sounds like you're on the right track! I'm envious that your husband dances with you. Enjoy building your capsules and show us, when you can.
