Hey y’all! It’s been a while since I updated what my Capsule Wardrobe is looking like these days, so here goes! If you want to see my journey towards slower, more intentional fashion bought ethically to honor the hands that make it, and the earth that supplied the materials, and the God who made it all possible, read some of these posts:
Closet / Capsule Posts:
- Closet: Simplified
- my style evolution (what, I have style? yeah, surprised me too)
- what do you do with the rest of your clothes once you go capsule?
- closet: spring / summer 2017 capsule, with ethical upgrades and additions!
- ethical clothing brands
- dream capsule wardrobe pieces
Remember my closet is a MIX of old clothes that I have had for a while, not purchased ethically, and of new, ethically made, sustainably sourced items. Not only it is not feasible (financially or for brain space reasons) to have a complete turn over in one’s closet, but it’s not, at the end of the day, environmentally beneficial or ethical to do that – one of the main points of slow fashion is to decrease overall demand for clothes, and while I am replacing items that have worn out or don’t fit, I am hanging onto clothes that still work, until they don’t!
Tops (16):
- 6 tanks: chambray, coral, seafoam, maroon, grey, blue and white pinstripe
- 3 tops: black and white striped flowy top, blue cuffed top, blue and white striped top
- 5 t-shirts – let the tigers tiger, cross, take heart, victory, walk in love (rust color)
- 2 long-sleeved shirts: chambray, white patterned blouse
Top Changes:
- Retiring the maroon flowy top -> not actually getting worn since it doesn’t flatter my body type as well as I thought it did when I originally left it in my wardrobe
- Might potentially retire the white patterned blouse since it’s really big and doesn’t get worn that often
- Might want to add one or two tops with some structure and flow -> like a fit and flare, a bit like the peplum style but updated

- 3 Humble Hilo dresses
- 2 sleeveless shift dresses
- black encircled multiway chrysalis cardi
Dresses Changes:

Jackets / Sweaters Changes:
- Had a blue kimono that did not fit me very well, and didn’t allow for much movement without major readjusting to the entire outfit, so wasn’t functional at the end of the day
- Had another blue kimono that was not long enough to be useful for an overall outfit
- Looking for a longer kimono – knee or floor length, that is not too intricate, but has some personality, while sticking to my overall closet palette and style
