This is the idea of keeping a small collection of clothes in which you deem are most essential (love to wear).

Ladies, we are all guilty of buying(impulsively) clothes or shoes and later on realizing it wasn't your taste after all. All these unworn attires end up at the back of the closet never to see the light of day again.

Below are a few steps on how to create your own capsule wardrobe:

Invest in your wardrobe

A capsule wardrobe helps a lot in decluttering your closet. You eventually get to remain with clothes you wear often, donate the rest and get rid of trash.Old jean trousers can be turned to shorts(my thoughts).

Invest in long lasting pieces, just as you know cheap is expensive.Hence brands tend to last longer. Also look for:

1. Basics: Clothes you can wear to work and still go for a coffee date or a night out with.

2. Neutrals: Black, white and grey

Learn on what makes you feel confident and stylish, what works for your body, in turn, you will end up identifying your personal style.

Stop Impulse buying

You always end up with a lot of stuff you won't wear again. Try the 333 rule. An approximate of 33 clothes that you will wear for a period of 3 months. Hence no buying stuff until that period is over.This will even save you the trouble of looking for what to wear(ladies).

Use help of Pinterest

Start by pinning everything you love. You'll soon end up with two or more similar pins that navigate around your style. So pin, pin and pin again.

N/B:Try and look on what you always wear , what you love and what makes you feel comfortable.
