Minimalist Spring 2022 Capsule Wardrobe 🌸

I'm so relieved winter will be coming to an end soon and it's time for a closet audit and the creation of a new spring capsule wardrobe.  I like to do this audit 4 time a year in line with the seasons and as always I follow the rules of the minimalist fashion challenge Project 333.

As always I empty my closets and go through each piece one by one and sort them into piles.

- Keep in.

- Maybe.

- Off season.

- Donate.

Then, I grab my off season box of clothes, shoes and accessories and sort through each piece also.

While I go through my things I will ask the following questions:

- Is this in line with my personal preferences or style? (Fit, color, comfort and overall look.)

- Have I worn this piece recently?  Am I looking forward to wear it?

- What makes this a favorite or not?  Do I like seeing pictures of me wearing it?

- Is it season appropriate and should it go into the next capsule?

- Does the piece go with others to make a few outfit combinations?

Next, I will try one some of the 'maybe' pieces and any item I like to see how it pairs with other clothes.  All keepers go on a hanger and back into the closet. I take a final count of my items to keep the core capsule under 33 pieces and then I pack the rest of the clothes, shoes and accessories away in the off season box.

The whole process takes less than 1 hour and I'm left with a good feeling afterwards and a reset, tidy wardrobe.

CAPSULE     INTENTIONS

With every capsule season I set a few intentions I like to let roll around in my mind and work on.  This time it's the following things.

- no clothings purchases until April 2022

- publish my closet inventory 
- donate clothing (a few pieces I decided to part with)

So, let's have a look at the pieces in my spring capsule.
