MY CAPSULE WARDROBE : WINTER EDITION

Pin It Now!

Hello. My name is Kel and I'm a sentimentalist hoarder. 
(all chime in: Hello Kel!)
Yes, I hang on to that purse my mom gave me that one time on a whim, 
and that blouse my husband proposed to me in. Better yet, those  shoes that make the arch of my foot look amazing, but I can't even stand 10 minutes in. 
So to combat this... errr...problem, 
I decide to follow in the footsteps of Viviana and create a capsule wardrobe. 

If you are unfamiliar with what this entails, it is basically putting the cap on your closet collection. 
Finding your perfect number of tops, bottoms, dresses, shoes, and outwear
that will make you and your closet feel stylistically complete.You will rotate these designated items for, say 3 months and change seasonally.Whittle out which items you actually wear affectionately and toss (donate or trash) the ones that don't meet the mark. This is not only to help define your style, but is also to help those, like myself, that get a little Asos/Madewell/Jcrew  happy, 
save a coin or two for investment pieces or down payments on a house. 
( my husband LOOOOVES this plan) 

Since it is the mark of a new year and a new season, 
I figured now is the perfect time to walk through my process and selections for Winter.

WHAT'S IN MY BAG : MADEWELL TRANSPORT TOTE

Pin It Now!


The first month of the year is pretty much gone and typically the whole gist is 
to get your crap in order. Or at least make it look like it.
I've succeeded at the latter thanks to my numero uno love,
The Transport Tote. 
In the most beautifully rich toffee color, this leather carry my whole life  all
has made lugging my essentials and not so essential bits a peach to 
drag along. 



Starting from the top left:
1. Kinfolk : I always have physical reading material (magazine/book) to get me off my phone
2. I typically carry 1 or 2 notebooks for random brainstorms. 
3. Sunglasses ( similar )
4. Madewell Transport Tote
5. Hand Creme
10. Revlon Nail Polish 
12. Sharpie Pen
13. Glossier  Balm Dot Com

So there you have it. All of my carry alongs.

Note: this does not include the fruit snacks, cracker crumbs, and diapers 
that I haul.

COME ON AUTUMN

Pin It Now!


Lately I have been giving Summer the stink eye. 
Mainly because we didn't really have much of one here in Atlanta
 due to the amount of rain we've seen. 
It makes me think Spring just stuck around for the after-after-after party. 
Also, that crisp autumn chill has arrived in the morning hours. 
So, I've decided to help Summer pack her crap and rainy days and 
fluff out the welcome mat for fall. 
It's my favorite season, largely in part to the fact that my birthday is in the fall, 
but because it's so ridiculously beautiful and layering is my "thing". 
I love having a sweater or scarf wrapped snugly around me. 
I feel a little incomplete without one or the other.
Madewell's fall additions didn't help summer's case one bit. 
I mean, how necessary is their Bien Fait pullover??? Very, I must say. 
Yeah the skimmers and flouncy dresses are great, but gimme a pullover and 
a bag with the looks of a strong drink after a long day.
Do Tell! What shops have you geared up for the seasonal shifts?---Kel
