Simple Winter Capsule Wardrobe 2024

Seasonal wardrobe changes are extremely cathartic for me and it's one of the many reasons why I have kept up with Project 333 for so many years. 

You may not want to do something like this. It's not for everyone.

I understand there are people that have a set style all year round and they are happy with it, but as a full time traveler capsule dressing works so well. My tiny closet isn't as cramped full with every single item that I own and making intentional seasonal selections keeps things interesting enough to make me feel content with what I have. 

Now, while everyone is different, I know about myself that I'm very affected by the seasons, the seasonal feel and the environments and rooms in which I live. It is my experience that a thoughtfully curated capsule wardrobe will set me up for success in the way I feel about myself.

Good.

Prepared.

Appropriately dressed.

Creative.

At ease.

Contented.

CAPSULE     INTENTIONS

With every capsule season I set a few intention I like to keep in mind. This way I can make progress however slow that may be. This season my intentions are as follows:

- find a new laundry hamper solution

- take photos of my Airstream closets (photos generally help me see the bigger picture in designs so I'm curious what I can see in these closet pictures. Strange how I have not taken any in the Airstream yet.)

- spring/summer capsule wardrobe wishlist: MORE WHITE!

In the past few years a few favorites had worn out and I think it's about time to replace them: white pants or jeans, white sneakers, white button down shirt, and a crisp white sweater.

Also: MORE OLIVE GREEN! I think I'm looking for some olive green pants (my current ones are wearing out) and olive green shorts.

If you're curious about trying capsule dressing in 2025, I recommend giving it a go.  A capsule does not have to be special or perfect.  

I follow the rules of Project 333 for my seasonal capsules.  Accordingly, I select 33 pieces of clothing for the next three months while storing all other items away until I create my next capsule. For more information on the concept of Project 333 I recommend visiting Courtney Carver's website (linked here)!
