Mochi, I love these types of posts. I admire people that have a small, functional, disciplined closet. The capsule concept just awes me and I read everything I can about them.
In theory I would love perfect, cute little capsules. In reality I am one of those people with a very large wardrobe and I don't want it any other way. The thought of only shopping for an item on a needs list or of limiting myself to a certain color when shopping just seems so stifling to me.
I love color, I love patterns and prints and I love more statement-y pieces. My wardrobe is anything but disciplined but I love it, it works for me and it makes me happy. Ultimately I think that is what we should all strive for. No matter the size of your wardrobe it should make you happy.
I devour the Vivienne Files every day because I love her capsule concepts and her mix and match capsules. I just don't have a ton of mix and match in my closet and it is ok but it doesn't stop me from appreciating the ideas and examples.
Good luck with getting to the size wardrobe that makes your heart sing.
