Capsule Progress

Ok, I know it was a little early to start breaking out the pumpkins and the fall prints, but I couldn't resist in my last post.  The fact is, it's still very much summer here and I really don't mind.  Just to prove it, I thought we'd come back around to this pretty pink cupcake dress from Ivy City Co.

There won't be much more pink in my blog posts for a few months, because I really did go ahead and change out my wardrobe for autumn.  I've been doing a little experiment with wearing a capsule wardrobe for the past 4 months, and I promised myself I would change everything over in September, and here we are already.

There were times when I was truly tempted to go and get things out of storage in order to have something "new" to wear, but I persisted in only wearing the things in my capsule.  Those moments of weakness aside, I really loved wearing and re-wearing my clothes.  

Not only did it feel good to know that these items were living up to their purpose, but it was also just less stressful to know that I had few options.  I basically wore the same outfits to work on an every other week rotation and it took a lot of the stress out of my morning routine.  I'm excited to continue this little project into the fall and I'll keep you posted on my progress.
