Hellloooooo!! Here's a video about how to create a capsule wardrobe. I really hope that this video helps you understand how to start a capsule wardrobe by answering 3 or 4 simple questions that you can apply for life. Do any of you actually HAVE a capsule wardrobe? Was it hard to achieve??
KarenBritChick I have tried - but think it is quite hard, but was in between - the "I'm not a girl, not yet a woman"-stage 😂 . The three/four questions, you highlighted is awesome! 👌🏻 I always try to keep my amount of clothes small, but good and in my style.
KarenBritChick please do a colour & body shape video PLEASE🙏🏼! Best capsule video I've seen!!! Your amazing girl & so inspiring & passionate!! You really make me laugh 😂! Keep up the fantastic videos!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Would you do a video on about people that aren't sure what their style is. Cause I'm Plus size most of the clothes I can buy are boho-ish like from Asos or it's 1950's style clothes.
this, for me, is the first and only time the concept of a capsule wardrobe has ever been explained this well. Its been like Narnia before now - its there but you don't have the cohesive magic to unlock a damn thing. So you sit with your black cardigan and white shirt and black ballet flats staring at the rest of your 'un-capsule' (colorful!) looking wardrobe wondering why you cant get it. These questions are what was missing! A capsule is who you are. What you most gravitate towards and feel/look best in. You build basics within that concept. You are a real fashion fairy Karen. Thanks for throwing your gold dust around you magical woman.
This comment stuck in my head. I wasn't sure how to do this subject being it's been covered extensively so this means a lot to hear that at least a few of you 'got' what I was trying to say : )))
KarenBritChick All of your recent videos have been demystifying! Your video on mixing prints was amazing; it made it so clear. I love watching your videos bc I actually learn easily, instead of having to glean fashion advice from watching several haul videos. And please do a video on body type.
Yes! All the capsule videos I've seen are devoid of colour, patterns and what I consider fun clothing (e.g. Frills, embroidery, embellishment etc). This is most of my sense of style, but I managed to make a capsule this week 🙂 It has all the colour and fun I love so much!
Could you do a pretend capsule wardrobe video, pulling from your own wardrobe to show how you would choose the basic items biased on your lifestyle and DNA? Or even a friends what you would choose for them biased on those elements?
I am SO surprised how good this video was. I would actually love a part 2 with even more picture examples and maybe a sample capsule. Honestly this video could have been 30 minutes long and still have been too short, loved it.
I have (finally) learned to buy clothes for the life I actually live and for my real lifestyle -- which is casual. It may be different degrees of casual ( from very casual to dressy casual) but it's casual. It's casual for work, casual for play -- even mostly casual for going out. The few rare times that I wear something very dressy in formal (maybe half a dozen or less times a year) doesn't require me to have lots of dressy things. and no matter how sparkly and pretty and seductive they look on a hanger, I don't need them and won't wear them.
Comfort for me (and fit) so I am the same. Can't be scratchy (those things are pretty). Those are fantasy things for me. Would be nice to have my version of those things.
I think one important thing to consider is who does your laundry and how often. That can change the color palette a lot. For instance, I wanted to keep a few red/orange items in my capsule so my second set of towels and pillow cases is also red so that I can wash them together and I don't have to do handwashing.
It is a shame how that happens! And different water temperatures. Maybe once I get my colors right, it'll get better. Maybe just washing those things alone. That's what I do.
You really nailed this topic, and I wish I had seen this video YEARS ago. For some reason, it took me so long to learn everything you covered here, and I had to make every rookie mistake along the way before I finally GOT it. I first became interested in dressing well about a year and a half ago. I was so lost and going about it all wrong. I started the process from the entirely wrong mindset - basically focused on other people's perception of me and acquiring all the generic pieces I thought I was supposed to have, instead of creating a wardrobe that actually felt like ME and fit my lifestyle. While I wish I had discovered your channel and this video sooner, I'm not sure your words would have resonated with me back then because I was truly a fashion beginner (ie didn't even know what a loafer was, etc). While you do explain things extremely well, I do think your content is for the slightly more advanced style enthusiast (I mean that as the highest compliment). On second thought, I think I found your channel at the perfect time in my style journey. Thank you for your high quality, informative, inspiring content!
I think one of the things with the majority of channels talking about capsule wardrobes is that they seem (well, my impression is, rightly or wrongly!) to be made by women who have cool skintones, so they gravitate towards having blue in their wardrobes. I'm warm-toned - autumn - and have to be pretty careful about wearing blue so can't really have it as a neutral in a wardrobe that works for me. A capsule wardrobe being the core of *who you are* - that makes so much sense. Using that as a starting point, with the aim being to have pieces that work together to make an outfit... I think I can manage that! Thank you, from a fellow Brit who discovered this video two and a half years after you put it up!
Oh my gosh! Thank you! The "standard" capsule is simply regurgitated....one navy and white striped tee, one camel colored blazer, etc, etc. I just cleared my closet of all the busy looking clothes and am building back up in my favorite colors and shapes, keeping things very simple. I already feel so much more myself and feel so young!
Karen, you rock! Best explanation of a capsule wardrobe to date. Please do a tutorial on that simple yet beautiful face. Your make-up is flawless. Keep schooling us with your classy ways!
I love it - not everyone thinks the basic black suit with the button down shirt is particularly creative or stylish. I think basics need to be a large part of our wardrobe but then fill in with exactly what you are describing, pieces that exemplify who we are and what we do and where we go. Most of what is being shown as a capsule wardrobe is exactly the same: the striped tee, button down shirts and trench coat. I love all those things but I don't want only those things - then I'll look just like my neighbor who is doing the capsule wardrobe!!
Karen, I like your approach to the "capsule wardrobe." I agree that most of the videos about capsule wardrobes are "cookie cutter" (boring), and don't seem very versatile. Thanks for these tips. I will try your ideas about colors/colours as well.
Karen , I was cooking while watching this video and I must say I had to subscribe immediately because you gave the best advice on building a capsule wardrobe.Thank you soo much for the advice. Your "lifestyle," that was my golden word .
great video and great advice Karen, thank you! You are really helping this 70 plus (omg did I just type that) woman get stylish again. Must say I have not really bothered much over the past two years but now I am moving to a bigger city and really, really want to look good again. Thank you, Thank you!
I would love it if you can do a video for persons who have a slightly edgy style. Almost rocker/chic without the skulls and bones. Luv ur style and tips.
That's the best video on the issue I've ever seen because it's not that standard rant about minimalism that tries to force every woman into the same beige or grey garments. I don't use a capsule wardrobe myself but I frew up with the idea of a "basic wardrobe" one can build upon. That's a very similar and useful idea, only without the restrictions.
I just revisited these issues and I think it helps those of us who are not the total stylistYOU are, to do this from time to time. Because of where I live as a retiree I can get many of last season's fashions or even this season toward the end of the season, super super cheap...like cents on the dollar. AS a result, I now also have an extensive wardrobe. I have gotten good at going only for what fits me REALLY well and also fits my lifestyle and my existing wardobe. Now when I buy things, I bring them home and BOOM I have at least half a dozen things to wear them with and can style it all sorts of ways. This comes from knowing your style, your lifestyle, and your colors that best suit you. It really becomes amazing over time. Today I was trying on the four or five summerweight tops I had just bought and found wow...they all , every single one, work for me with lots of things..now THAT I consider a great success. Even though I only pay like $4,00 for almost every item I buy here (except shoes and boots and very pricey items like designer brand things) it really used to piss me off when I made a mistake and had to give items away straight away. Well that is not happening anymore ,which means i have really developed some skills on CZcams with your good advice and a few others. I will never be the gifts sylist YOU are, but I am oh so much better than I was just a couple of years ago. THanks SO much fo rhte education re style....it has made my life so much more fun and richer in retirement than I ever dreamed it could be. Way way more fun than my 20's, 30, 40s which were nose to the grindstone to get ahead in life.
Love it. And I completely agree about red heads and jewel tones. My son is a red head and nothing looks better on him than a nice saffron like color (between ruby and topaz) and an EMERALD. I faint a million faints.
I realize this video is older but it is timeless. It was a “a ha” moment for me because my happy place style wise is more masculine but every capsule I see includes things I’d never wear. Thanks Karen. You’re a style icon.
I think that’s the best concept of a capsule wardrobe that I’ve heard. The ones with the numbers and how many outfits you can make out of them are a bit confusing. Certainly your explanation is a personalised way to create your wardrobe for any age. Well done!!
My style is very ecclectic. I can do a white button-down with a blazer and skirt for my job; t-shirt & jeans for weekend, a maxidress for brunch, etc. MY ideal capsule wardrobe is a mixture of everything
AT LAST! I have been looking for direction on the capsule wardrobe front and have been disappointed by so many of the so called “experts!” I am a 72 year old Gramma and I would NOT even THINK about filming dressed or styled as some are! Why would I take fashion advice from someone with a horrid haircut, sad clothes, and basically no style whatsoever? YOU, dear, are bright, styled, articulate, and up to date! Oh! I hope you are still making videos!
I think your concentric circle analogy is great. My innermost, can’t live without, circle, contains knit knee- length and midi dresses, my at-home comfort wear. To go out, I add shoes or boots, belt and accessories, and oh yes, that most-hated item in my wardrobe, a bra!
I really like your videos, there are " authentic ", there's no artifice, and to me it's really cool to put pictures of what you're talking about, those pictures are always showing something that i didn't know before: a style, a paire of shoes, someone, whatever! It just give me fresh air compared to other youtubers (or pinterest/instagram ) who are always filming in the same way, showing us things that we mostly already know PS: sorry for my english ( I'm french )
i love how clear you are in your videos!! it's so great to find fashion videos that are long because they're packed with information not just because they're rambling on
Thanks Karen, this was a great video and I would love to see a video on clothing different body shapes, I'm a curvy women I would love to hear your point of view regarding fashion for that aesthetic. The fashion industry could be much better when it comes to creating fashionable clothing for curvy women. Thanks❤
Dinah Redmond it's definitely getting better. I'm so glad they are figuring out that those of us fuller figured women have money and will spend it! and more importantly don't want to wear a sack! I love fashion and find that since so many trends are not translated into clothing for larger sized women, that I have to create the look on my own by shopping vintage, in the men's department or thrifting. I think a lot of it is the thrill of the hunt for me. lol
Hi Dinah I find the UK has a lot of nice choices for curvier women compared to North America let's say. If you like to wear dresses you could learn to sew and make your owns. They are easy to make and sooooo much more flattering!
Quicha Jones .. I think the room fuller figured is much more descriptive than curvy - because a thinner woman can be curvy too. I'm very slender - and I'm also curvy - because my bust measurement is about 10 inches more than my waist and my hips are 10.5 inches more than my waist.
Meant to be " term" - not "room" ha. That's auto dictation for ya. What I meant to say was that whenever I hear curvy I think of fuller figured women, but I see curvy, hourglass figures that are thin, fuller and everything in between. (Sorry, that's the scrabble loving, word loving, linguist and college prof. in me. I can get overly picky with words sometimes.)
one of the best video ever on wardrobe capsule. I hate seeing silly girls naming any outfits capsule just because it's trendy - capsule wardrobe for school, capsule wardrobe for weekend, capsule wardrobe for 2017, so on, so silly. Capsule wardrobe is very personal and you need to study yourself, your style, your colours, your habits and hobbies and then you can decide if wardrobe capsule is for you. You are amazing!
I've lived with a capsule wardrobe for a year and a half now, and love it! I'd love to see your advice on different body shapes. I have certain looks that I'm drawn to, but everything I read about being an hourglass shape, says those styles are SO wrong for my body.
I love how you explain to us, exactly what a capsule wardrobe is. I thought i knew but it's super clear to me now. I am excited to go through my wardrobe and find my "capsule wardrobe". Thankyou! Karen
Thank you so much for your advice. I appreciate this very much because I am planning to downsize my clothing to create a clutter-free drawer. 😂 I also find it hard to spend much time deciding on what to wear. I'm a high school public school teacher and I am somehow required to have casual and formal type of clothing. I am struggling a bit on how to create a minimal wardrobe out of it because I am a tshirt-and-jeans lover as well. Sooo right now I have declutterd my stuff (since 2018), and I am left with 2 midi skirts, 7 dresses, 7 jackets (because I travel to work everyday), 5 jeans, 4 trousers, quite a few shirts, a few pieces of lounge wears, 7 pairs of Pjs, quite a few footwears ranging from slippers to flat shoes to high heels to rubber shoes. There are still a few items i need to declutter but right now im quite happy of what i have. ❤️💛🧡
My favorite capsule wardrobe video! All the other ones focus on staple pieces they own and think you should also base your wardrobe on it - when in reality only you know which pieces work for you and fit your lifestyle.
Love this, thank you for posting! I completely agree that there are too many cookie cutter guides when it comes to the essentials. I can't help but wonder how many women have invested in a "classic trench" because they have been convinced it is a staple, only to have it sit unused forever in the back of their closet because it doesn't suit their climate or lifestyle...
Thank you! So happy to see a capsule wardrobe that appeals to people who dress beyond the white tea, striped shirt, neutral palette. Keep up the great work!
You are as knowledgeable as you are charismatic!! I have always loved fashion, but you are simply the BEST with the depths of your experiences and know-how! It is a real gift to hear your thoughts. Thank you for sharing, Paula
You've made the capsule wardrobe so easy to create and maintain! I want to begin to make my wardrobe more minimal, and this video is a great tool to begin!
I would love a video on color. I am a bright spring (needs high contrast) and generally, even though I am pale I need very strong color (to not disappear). I agree with the high contrast aesthetic though and do tend to wear a lot of black and high contrast combos. It's mixing the color with the neutrals that can be a challenge to get just right, although I am not shy to wear a lot of bright color. Loved your fall haul video and just found a grey mens blazer that I bought. I cannot believe that I haven't bought one before, it is such a perfect versatile piece. I used to have a dove grey linen men's suit that I wore all the time and I just loved it and how it fit. I am tall and have very long legs so mens clothes (even shoes) sometimes fit me amazingly well. I like to be able to look a little formal at times but I absolutely hate Women's suits and how they fit. I'm considering a men's tuxedo.
Buying for myself, my lifestyle, and not some fantasy person is one of the most challenging pitfalls for me. Ironically, it's partly due to reading so many blogs about what a capsule wardrobe should look like, and it's always the same core pieces for someone who works in an office and lives a far more glamorous lifestyle than I do. Also, I admittedly sometimes use clothes shopping as a form of escapism and fantasize about the person I "should" or could be.
Wow! I am blown away. This is the best capsule wardrobe video!!! I love that you make this personable verses all about the clothes. I agree that Its about your identity, based on your lifestyle, personal taste, etc... Thank you!! For the past year, I felt like I didnt have a good enough capsule wardrobe but i realized that everything I own is what I love and is my style, thats all that matters. Thank you!!!!!! 😘❤
I definitely think finding your color season is super important for building a capsule wardrobe. I thought I was a summer for a really long time, but it turns out I'm a light spring- makes a huge difference!
Karen. This is absolutely fantastic. This is The first video on capsule wardrobes that actually makes sense to me. It gives me the tools. TBH I was getting confused by the whole thing! This is genius. Thank you. Ps a video on dressing for your body type- I'm plus size and want a capsule - so the things to include. Loads of love and keep the good stuff coming 😘😘😘 x
Thank god for karenbritchick...... I NEVER comment on youtube but..... CZcams has become a repeatative string of already seen videos and concepts....everyone doing the same videos....capsule wardrobes being a prime example. Karen you have woke us up in the most fun and inspiring way, its easy to see you have a real passion and love life! You are a breath of fresh air providing original concepts, formats and content! Totally subsrcibed forever
I just want to tell you. You inspire me to continue with my fashion and not care what others think or feel. Your excitement about clothing reminds me how I get excited about fashion😀💄👠👜👗💍🌸👌🏽💅🏽
Loved that you didn't tell me I needed a leather moto jacket, a navy blazer, white blouse and ballet flats. I love those items and wore them once upon a time. But, now, I'm retired and live in tropical Florida, where I do not need any jacket. Where I live, most women wear colorful, usually blue tunics and white shorts or capris. I only need sandals unless I'm going to the gym. My husband and I joke on 'cold"(maybe 69 degrees) days, that we'll have to put on closed toe shoes. For me, that's a really awesome pair of floral Superga sneakers that I bought about 3 years ago. My "uniform" consists of linen or cotton tops and wide legged linen pants. Any color will do as long as it's blue! I really enjoy your enthusiasm and would probably listen to you read the phone book.
Your advice is amazing!! I'm tired of people telling you get clothes that will last you a long time when trends and fashion come and go. Plus most women like to rid of there clothes after a while.
Loved the video! Thank you for not trotting the old neutrals only line of B.S. out. One other thing that will always tell you if you've managed to create a GREAT capsule wardrobe is... It will not look like a capsule wardrobe! It will just look polished and put together and like YOUR FAVORITE STUFF! I hate it when one of my friends creates a capsule wardrobe and without even really thinking about it, you KNOW that's what they did.. so much beige and gray everywhere.. ugh.
Wonderful summary of how to build a wardrobe that will suit you best. I'd love to see separate videos about color, flattering different body shapes, classic styles and cuts, and the power of accessories. Color drives my mood so much. I've decorated my home with fabulous warm colors but my wardrobe is still not quite there. Thanks!
Karen, your POV is spot on! I haven't watched many videos on capsule wardrobes, but many of the articles I've seen lists the same items, which are truly classic, however none that I've read speak about one's lifestyle or aesthetic. I almost got worried because my style is a little bit of all of which you described. I'm not sure there's a good name for it. Glad to see my wardrobe isn't the only one suffering from identity issues. 😂
ha ha!! Yes I watch these TV segments or mag articles and have over time thought that it's the same old same old which is not what we are: we are individual and so a capsule wardrobe content is a different thing to each person
Quicha Jones Be proud of your eclectic tastes! So much more interesting then as Karen said "the same old, same old", which personally bores me to tears👎 I'd much prefer having interesting clothes, accessories! I'm a rebel, a freak and damn proud of it, and have the wacky, diverse wardrobe that reflects that! My go-to pieces aren't the suggested "norm", they're what I love and suits me. Sounds like you fall into that category as well. Brava👏 for being and staying an individual, not a cookie cutter clone-drone👎! 🌺⚡️Jet
Your definition of capsule wardrobe and the terms to have it makes total sense to me!! I loved especially that you didn't use your wardrobe as an example, which I don't have, nor my fit. You totally inspired me!! I'm probably going to dig up my closet and work on them. Thanks!!!
Thank you so much. This perspective is very helpful. I've been putting off creating a capsule wardrobe because all other recommendations are focused on black, white and other neutrals, all of which look terrible against my pale cool tone skin, so i dont like wearing them, especially near my face. I've recently learned that cool dark rich or subdued colors make me look and feel fabulous, especially navy, aubergine, teal and red. The contrast is beautifully striking in a way I had never imagined. Breaking away from bad style/color advice has been difficult, now that I know how great I can look I will never wear frumpy styles or pastel colors ever again. Thanks Love 😊
thank you again, I just started a capsule last month and I totally agree that too many capsule wardrobes online look so blahhh and lack personality. I have my core and now I'm just looking for pieces to spice it up, pieces that show my personality.
This video seriously helped me. This is my third time watching this video. I may/may not have already commented. I'm determined to sort my wardrobe out now. I just moved living spaces, and although I have the space, I don't want to bring along the clutter.
It would be awesome if you did a series on the capsule wardrobe featuring the basics the way you laid them out in the beginning of the video. That would be so helpful.
one of the best capsule videos (together with UseLess and Justine Leconte who address also body types and color - matching). You are my clear sub. LOVE YA!
Also Marie-Anne Lecoeur talks about styling for body shape, too, and how to add colour to a basic capsule wardrobe. French chic by a Frenchwoman - love her videos!
Great tips! Some months ago I cleared out my wardrobe and moved towards a capsule-esque approach to wearing and buying pieces. It's given me great insight into what I wear, what I like and don't like, what I do and don't need etc. My wardrobe fits my life style for sure, although I now think it's probably too casual (I just finished university :P). Not yet sure how to change that up....
Omg, you the only CZcamsr I've found that actually teaches me something about fashion...on every episode! I love your style and your content. And your website. And your Insta. Plus you make me think about my wardrobe and my style, not just steal looks for the seasons ahead (I'm in New Zealand and it's Winter right now) I look forward to tuning in each week. Thank you
Sitting down and answering these questions is what has kept me from developing a true capsule wardrobe because it felt overwhelming. Thanks for breaking it down like this.
Hi Karen as a new mature 55 year old plus size subbie please can you create a video about what suits your body shape. I only discovered you a week ago so the past 7 days for me has been avidly playing catch up.
Now this is a capsule wordrobe that speaks to me, since most of the ones on youtube follow one formula that lacks color, diversity and understanding of a woman's body, lifestyle and aesthetic. Recently, I started simplifying and declutting my wordrobe, so I guess I am heading towards capsula path.
Aaah this is such a good video, thanks Karen! I love the explanation/theory approach instead of telling me specific clothing items to have in my wardrobe. I feel so uncomfortable in white tees and jeans so this was really helpful!
With capsule I’ve always seen stuff like leather jackets/blazers/denim jackets/black-nude pumps/white T-shirt ect. But I’d never wear them, but I did try go out and find a denim/leather jacket anyways, now I know my style really never changes, I’m a skinny jeans and T-shirt person, I never wear high heels, i never wear plain white T-shirt’s (I feel like I look washed out, I prefer black) I prefer cardigans ect that are way different than the cookie cutter wardrobe I try to insert into my starter capsule
Man I wish I had found this video before I bought a minimalist cookie cutter wardrobe that didnt suit me at all. Well, now I know why haha. Thank you for the awesome explanation and tips!!
I do have a capsule!! I took everything out of my wardrobe, placed the items I absolutely loved: which actually defined my style (boho/Rock/basics neutral), I looked at the material, the fit on my body.. Had the piles of the MAYBEs and the NOs. And decided from the MAYBE what was needed in order to do outfit with what I had in my YES pile.. The rest went on the NO pile. It can take a few capsule to master it and to know what to reach for when buying. Since I don't buy as much.
This is such a fabulous video - thank you!!! ❤️ I'm a freelancer and spend a lot of time working from home, so most of the different capsule wardrobe tutorials don't really apply to me. I don't need office wear and that usually makes up the bulk of other people's capsules. Thank you for helping me realise there's nothing wrong with that 😘
Thank you for this video, Karen. I absolutely loved it. It was such an original take on the capsule wardrobe and really made me think about my style! 💜
I think you helped solidify my problem. I'm going from happy massage therapist ->accident->brain injury ->eventual loss of arm -> doing something about it -> mechanical engineering student THEN to a likely 9 to 5 and I'm completely foreign to all of it. Given that if I go through another 7 years in college, and that at the end of college when it comes time ti interview I need to be comfortable. Add that I'm fairly minimalistic. And you've got a recipe for me wanting to buy 2 new garments every semester that will turn into my post education engineering job look. The problem is that with the brain injury I'm re learning who I am, and I am VERY different post injury.
I thought this was so useful as I begin to winnow my clothes...I have way to many I am no longer in the classroom so I don't need those kinds of clothes so much now. I am a new subscriber so I don't know if you are usually more capacious including size 14 and up as examples. I just noticed that within all the other important info, along with your precision passion and humor! Thanks PS the out takes were hilarious!
Oh how much I LOVE watching your videos but more than anything I loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove you. I love how you picture something in your mind and you get speechless for a second or two. I just love EVERYTHING about you and your videos.💋💋💋💋💋💋
Hellloooooo!! Here's a video about how to create a capsule wardrobe. I really hope that this video helps you understand how to start a capsule wardrobe by answering 3 or 4 simple questions that you can apply for life.
Do any of you actually HAVE a capsule wardrobe? Was it hard to achieve??
KarenBritChick I have tried - but think it is quite hard, but was in between - the "I'm not a girl, not yet a woman"-stage 😂 . The three/four questions, you highlighted is awesome! 👌🏻 I always try to keep my amount of clothes small, but good and in my style.
KarenBritChick I have one. It was easy once I found my personal style and learned how to work the kinds of clothing that flatter my figure.
KarenBritChick u have the best content
KarenBritChick please do a colour & body shape video PLEASE🙏🏼! Best capsule video I've seen!!! Your amazing girl & so inspiring & passionate!! You really make me laugh 😂! Keep up the fantastic videos!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Would you do a video on about people that aren't sure what their style is. Cause I'm Plus size most of the clothes I can buy are boho-ish like from Asos or it's 1950's style clothes.
this, for me, is the first and only time the concept of a capsule wardrobe has ever been explained this well. Its been like Narnia before now - its there but you don't have the cohesive magic to unlock a damn thing. So you sit with your black cardigan and white shirt and black ballet flats staring at the rest of your 'un-capsule' (colorful!) looking wardrobe wondering why you cant get it. These questions are what was missing! A capsule is who you are. What you most gravitate towards and feel/look best in. You build basics within that concept. You are a real fashion fairy Karen. Thanks for throwing your gold dust around you magical woman.
This comment stuck in my head. I wasn't sure how to do this subject being it's been covered extensively so this means a lot to hear that at least a few of you 'got' what I was trying to say : )))
KarenBritChick All of your recent videos have been demystifying! Your video on mixing prints was amazing; it made it so clear. I love watching your videos bc I actually learn easily, instead of having to glean fashion advice from watching several haul videos. And please do a video on body type.
Yes! All the capsule videos I've seen are devoid of colour, patterns and what I consider fun clothing (e.g. Frills, embroidery, embellishment etc). This is most of my sense of style, but I managed to make a capsule this week 🙂 It has all the colour and fun I love so much!
This really means a lot that these videos are actually helping women. Yes I will eventually do a body type video or at least have a stab at it!
Marcelle Johnson ci
You need your own show! You got it all personality, beauty and a great sense of style
Could you do a pretend capsule wardrobe video, pulling from your own wardrobe to show how you would choose the basic items biased on your lifestyle and DNA? Or even a friends what you would choose for them biased on those elements?
Tiffany Braman would love if you did this with different people's wardrobes!
I liked how she addressed it in general (it made sense to me). I think other lifestyle people can do that (it's the whole thing with them).
I am SO surprised how good this video was. I would actually love a part 2 with even more picture examples and maybe a sample capsule. Honestly this video could have been 30 minutes long and still have been too short, loved it.
I have (finally) learned to buy clothes for the life I actually live and for my real lifestyle -- which is casual. It may be different degrees of casual ( from very casual to dressy casual) but it's casual. It's casual for work, casual for play -- even mostly casual for going out. The few rare times that I wear something very dressy in formal (maybe half a dozen or less times a year) doesn't require me to have lots of dressy things. and no matter how sparkly and pretty and seductive they look on a hanger, I don't need them and won't wear them.
c
Comfort for me (and fit) so I am the same. Can't be scratchy (those things are pretty). Those are fantasy things for me. Would be nice to have my version of those things.
Truth 😂
This was so informative as much as I love a Breton stripe I am really sick of every capsule wardrobe looking the exact same
LOL!!!!
I think one important thing to consider is who does your laundry and how often. That can change the color palette a lot. For instance, I wanted to keep a few red/orange items in my capsule so my second set of towels and pillow cases is also red so that I can wash them together and I don't have to do handwashing.
Eve Koivula
Allways think about how to laundry, and take care of the clodes.
It is a shame how that happens! And different water temperatures. Maybe once I get my colors right, it'll get better. Maybe just washing those things alone. That's what I do.
You really nailed this topic, and I wish I had seen this video YEARS ago. For some reason, it took me so long to learn everything you covered here, and I had to make every rookie mistake along the way before I finally GOT it.
I first became interested in dressing well about a year and a half ago. I was so lost and going about it all wrong. I started the process from the entirely wrong mindset - basically focused on other people's perception of me and acquiring all the generic pieces I thought I was supposed to have, instead of creating a wardrobe that actually felt like ME and fit my lifestyle.
While I wish I had discovered your channel and this video sooner, I'm not sure your words would have resonated with me back then because I was truly a fashion beginner (ie didn't even know what a loafer was, etc). While you do explain things extremely well, I do think your content is for the slightly more advanced style enthusiast (I mean that as the highest compliment). On second thought, I think I found your channel at the perfect time in my style journey. Thank you for your high quality, informative, inspiring content!
I think one of the things with the majority of channels talking about capsule wardrobes is that they seem (well, my impression is, rightly or wrongly!) to be made by women who have cool skintones, so they gravitate towards having blue in their wardrobes. I'm warm-toned - autumn - and have to be pretty careful about wearing blue so can't really have it as a neutral in a wardrobe that works for me.
A capsule wardrobe being the core of *who you are* - that makes so much sense. Using that as a starting point, with the aim being to have pieces that work together to make an outfit... I think I can manage that!
Thank you, from a fellow Brit who discovered this video two and a half years after you put it up!
yes for a video about colours and body shapes !!
Could you do one about the undertones of the skin please !
love your videos ❤
me too. yes please. colour and body shape
Yes for a body shape video! Especially tips for curved/plus sized women who want to enjoy fashion!
Working on one when I'm back in New York
Oh my gosh! Thank you! The "standard" capsule is simply regurgitated....one navy and white striped tee, one camel colored blazer, etc, etc. I just cleared my closet of all the busy looking clothes and am building back up in my favorite colors and shapes, keeping things very simple. I already feel so much more myself and feel so young!
Karen, you rock! Best explanation of a capsule wardrobe to date. Please do a tutorial on that simple yet beautiful face. Your make-up is flawless. Keep schooling us with your classy ways!
I love it - not everyone thinks the basic black suit with the button down shirt is particularly creative or stylish. I think basics need to be a large part of our wardrobe but then fill in with exactly what you are describing, pieces that exemplify who we are and what we do and where we go. Most of what is being shown as a capsule wardrobe is exactly the same: the striped tee, button down shirts and trench coat. I love all those things but I don't want only those things - then I'll look just like my neighbor who is doing the capsule wardrobe!!
exactly. Load of crap.
Karen, I like your approach to the "capsule wardrobe." I agree that most of the videos about capsule wardrobes are "cookie cutter" (boring), and don't seem very versatile. Thanks for these tips. I will try your ideas about colors/colours as well.
Karen , I was cooking while watching this video and I must say I had to subscribe immediately because you gave the best advice on building a capsule wardrobe.Thank you soo much for the advice. Your "lifestyle," that was my golden word .
great video and great advice Karen, thank you! You are really helping this 70 plus (omg did I just type that) woman get stylish again. Must say I have not really bothered much over the past two years but now I am moving to a bigger city and really, really want to look good again. Thank you, Thank you!
Can you be on TV already as a style contributor?? You exude warmth and relatability... I LOVE YOU!
BEST video on building a capsule wardrobe EVER!! Ageless, timeless & permanently relevant!!
wow! that's what I was hoping!!! Thank you :)))
I would love it if you can do a video for persons who have a slightly edgy style. Almost rocker/chic without the skulls and bones. Luv ur style and tips.
Coutis Ramlal what a great suggestion! I would love to see that video!
That's the best video on the issue I've ever seen because it's not that standard rant about minimalism that tries to force every woman into the same beige or grey garments.
I don't use a capsule wardrobe myself but I frew up with the idea of a "basic wardrobe" one can build upon. That's a very similar and useful idea, only without the restrictions.
I just revisited these issues and I think it helps those of us who are not the total stylistYOU are, to do this from time to time. Because of where I live as a retiree I can get many of last season's fashions or even this season toward the end of the season, super super cheap...like cents on the dollar. AS a result, I now also have an extensive wardrobe. I have gotten good at going only for what fits me REALLY well and also fits my lifestyle and my existing wardobe. Now when I buy things, I bring them home and BOOM I have at least half a dozen things to wear them with and can style it all sorts of ways. This comes from knowing your style, your lifestyle, and your colors that best suit you. It really becomes amazing over time. Today I was trying on the four or five summerweight tops I had just bought and found wow...they all , every single one, work for me with lots of things..now THAT I consider a great success. Even though I only pay like $4,00 for almost every item I buy here (except shoes and boots and very pricey items like designer brand things) it really used to piss me off when I made a mistake and had to give items away straight away. Well that is not happening anymore ,which means i have really developed some skills on CZcams with your good advice and a few others. I will never be the gifts sylist YOU are, but I am oh so much better than I was just a couple of years ago. THanks SO much fo rhte education re style....it has made my life so much more fun and richer in retirement than I ever dreamed it could be. Way way more fun than my 20's, 30, 40s which were nose to the grindstone to get ahead in life.
The most comprehensive video on Capsule Wardrobes I've ever seen!
Love it. And I completely agree about red heads and jewel tones. My son is a red head and nothing looks better on him than a nice saffron like color (between ruby and topaz) and an EMERALD. I faint a million faints.
I realize this video is older but it is timeless. It was a “a ha” moment for me because my happy place style wise is more masculine but every capsule I see includes things I’d never wear. Thanks Karen. You’re a style icon.
I know you nailed it when you consider different people's style and body shape.
I'm super eager to clean out my wardrobe, now. You seem so very kind and genuine, it's a pleasure to listen to you.
I think that’s the best concept of a capsule wardrobe that I’ve heard. The ones with the numbers and how many outfits you can make out of them are a bit confusing. Certainly your explanation is a personalised way to create your wardrobe for any age. Well done!!
My style is very ecclectic. I can do a white button-down with a blazer and skirt for my job; t-shirt & jeans for weekend, a maxidress for brunch, etc. MY ideal capsule wardrobe is a mixture of everything
AT LAST! I have been looking for direction on the capsule wardrobe front and have been disappointed by so many of the so called “experts!” I am a 72 year old Gramma and I would NOT even THINK about filming dressed or styled as some are! Why would I take fashion advice from someone with a horrid haircut, sad clothes, and basically no style whatsoever? YOU, dear, are bright, styled, articulate, and up to date! Oh! I hope you are still making videos!
I think your concentric circle analogy is great. My innermost, can’t live without, circle, contains knit knee- length and midi dresses, my at-home comfort wear. To go out, I add shoes or boots, belt and accessories, and oh yes, that most-hated item in my wardrobe, a bra!
I really like your videos, there are " authentic ", there's no artifice, and to me it's really cool to put pictures of what you're talking about, those pictures are always showing something that i didn't know before: a style, a paire of shoes, someone, whatever! It just give me fresh air compared to other youtubers (or pinterest/instagram ) who are always filming in the same way, showing us things that we mostly already know
PS: sorry for my english ( I'm french )
Girl, you mentioned Alexa Chung and Caroline de Maigret in a row. I'M TOTALLY subscribing forever. So my vibe.
LOL!
i love how clear you are in your videos!! it's so great to find fashion videos that are long because they're packed with information not just because they're rambling on
Thanks Karen, this was a great video and I would love to see a video on clothing different body shapes, I'm a curvy women I would love to hear your point of view regarding fashion for that aesthetic. The fashion industry could be much better when it comes to creating fashionable clothing for curvy women. Thanks❤
Dinah Redmond it's definitely getting better. I'm so glad they are figuring out that those of us fuller figured women have money and will spend it! and more importantly don't want to wear a sack! I love fashion and find that since so many trends are not translated into clothing for larger sized women, that I have to create the look on my own by shopping vintage, in the men's department or thrifting. I think a lot of it is the thrill of the hunt for me. lol
Yes I'm planning on one
Hi Dinah I find the UK has a lot of nice choices for curvier women compared to North America let's say. If you like to wear dresses you could learn to sew and make your owns. They are easy to make and sooooo much more flattering!
Quicha Jones .. I think the room fuller figured is much more descriptive than curvy - because a thinner woman can be curvy too. I'm very slender - and I'm also curvy - because my bust measurement is about 10 inches more than my waist and my hips are 10.5 inches more than my waist.
Meant to be " term" - not "room" ha. That's auto dictation for ya. What I meant to say was that whenever I hear curvy I think of fuller figured women, but I see curvy, hourglass figures that are thin, fuller and everything in between. (Sorry, that's the scrabble loving, word loving, linguist and college prof. in me. I can get overly picky with words sometimes.)
one of the best video ever on wardrobe capsule. I hate seeing silly girls naming any outfits capsule just because it's trendy - capsule wardrobe for school, capsule wardrobe for weekend, capsule wardrobe for 2017, so on, so silly. Capsule wardrobe is very personal and you need to study yourself, your style, your colours, your habits and hobbies and then you can decide if wardrobe capsule is for you. You are amazing!
I'm glad that you 'got it'
One of the better descriptions of a Capsule wardrobe I've found. So tired of seeing the same black and white clothes all over again
I've lived with a capsule wardrobe for a year and a half now, and love it! I'd love to see your advice on different body shapes. I have certain looks that I'm drawn to, but everything I read about being an hourglass shape, says those styles are SO wrong for my body.
I love how you explain to us, exactly what a capsule wardrobe is. I thought i knew but it's super clear to me now. I am excited to go through my wardrobe and find my "capsule wardrobe". Thankyou! Karen
Thank you so much for your advice. I appreciate this very much because I am planning to downsize my clothing to create a clutter-free drawer. 😂 I also find it hard to spend much time deciding on what to wear. I'm a high school public school teacher and I am somehow required to have casual and formal type of clothing. I am struggling a bit on how to create a minimal wardrobe out of it because I am a tshirt-and-jeans lover as well. Sooo right now I have declutterd my stuff (since 2018), and I am left with 2 midi skirts, 7 dresses, 7 jackets (because I travel to work everyday), 5 jeans, 4 trousers, quite a few shirts, a few pieces of lounge wears, 7 pairs of Pjs, quite a few footwears ranging from slippers to flat shoes to high heels to rubber shoes. There are still a few items i need to declutter but right now im quite happy of what i have. ❤️💛🧡
My favorite capsule wardrobe video! All the other ones focus on staple pieces they own and think you should also base your wardrobe on it - when in reality only you know which pieces work for you and fit your lifestyle.
Love this, thank you for posting! I completely agree that there are too many cookie cutter guides when it comes to the essentials. I can't help but wonder how many women have invested in a "classic trench" because they have been convinced it is a staple, only to have it sit unused forever in the back of their closet because it doesn't suit their climate or lifestyle...
Thank you! So happy to see a capsule wardrobe that appeals to people who dress beyond the white tea, striped shirt, neutral palette. Keep up the great work!
This is the first time I have ever understood what a capsule. Wardrobe is. Thank you so much. Have fun.
You are as knowledgeable as you are charismatic!! I have always loved fashion, but you are simply the BEST with the depths of your experiences and know-how! It is a real gift to hear your thoughts. Thank you for sharing, Paula
I've watched it so many times!!
Today I'm watching one more time, and one more..
It is so IMPORTANT, all what Karen says. Essential!
You've made the capsule wardrobe so easy to create and maintain! I want to begin to make my wardrobe more minimal, and this video is a great tool to begin!
I would love a video on color. I am a bright spring (needs high contrast) and generally, even though I am pale I need very strong color (to not disappear). I agree with the high contrast aesthetic though and do tend to wear a lot of black and high contrast combos. It's mixing the color with the neutrals that can be a challenge to get just right, although I am not shy to wear a lot of bright color.
Loved your fall haul video and just found a grey mens blazer that I bought. I cannot believe that I haven't bought one before, it is such a perfect versatile piece. I used to have a dove grey linen men's suit that I wore all the time and I just loved it and how it fit. I am tall and have very long legs so mens clothes (even shoes) sometimes fit me amazingly well. I like to be able to look a little formal at times but I absolutely hate Women's suits and how they fit. I'm considering a men's tuxedo.
Yes, please!!! A separate vid on color!!! Thanks so much!
Buying for myself, my lifestyle, and not some fantasy person is one of the most challenging pitfalls for me. Ironically, it's partly due to reading so many blogs about what a capsule wardrobe should look like, and it's always the same core pieces for someone who works in an office and lives a far more glamorous lifestyle than I do. Also, I admittedly sometimes use clothes shopping as a form of escapism and fantasize about the person I "should" or could be.
Plann alot before buying!
Spend moore on core stuff.
Buy complementary different things that match togheter.
I keep watching your old videos, although they never are... old, that is. The tips are always spot on!
Wow! I am blown away. This is the best capsule wardrobe video!!! I love that you make this personable verses all about the clothes. I agree that Its about your identity, based on your lifestyle, personal taste, etc... Thank you!! For the past year, I felt like I didnt have a good enough capsule wardrobe but i realized that everything I own is what I love and is my style, thats all that matters. Thank you!!!!!! 😘❤
I definitely think finding your color season is super important for building a capsule wardrobe. I thought I was a summer for a really long time, but it turns out I'm a light spring- makes a huge difference!
Karen. This is absolutely fantastic. This is The first video on capsule wardrobes that actually makes sense to me. It gives me the tools. TBH I was getting confused by the whole thing! This is genius. Thank you. Ps a video on dressing for your body type- I'm plus size and want a capsule - so the things to include. Loads of love and keep the good stuff coming 😘😘😘 x
Yes and amen! This is exactly why I stopped watching shows like What Not to Wear. Everyone ended up looking the same! Well said!
Thank god for karenbritchick...... I NEVER comment on youtube but.....
CZcams has become a repeatative string of already seen videos and concepts....everyone doing the same videos....capsule wardrobes being a prime example.
Karen you have woke us up in the most fun and inspiring way, its easy to see you have a real passion and love life!
You are a breath of fresh air providing original concepts, formats and content!
Totally subsrcibed forever
wow this is such a lovely comment to read. Thank you this really means alot that you got the intention of this video.
I just want to tell you. You inspire me to continue with my fashion and not care what others think or feel. Your excitement about clothing reminds me how I get excited about fashion😀💄👠👜👗💍🌸👌🏽💅🏽
This is the absolute best video about capsule wardrobes I’ve ever watched
Loved that you didn't tell me I needed a leather moto jacket, a navy blazer, white blouse and ballet flats. I love those items and wore them once upon a time. But, now, I'm retired and live in tropical Florida, where I do not need any jacket. Where I live, most women wear colorful, usually blue tunics and white shorts or capris. I only need sandals unless I'm going to the gym. My husband and I joke on 'cold"(maybe 69 degrees) days, that we'll have to put on closed toe shoes. For me, that's a really awesome pair of floral Superga sneakers that I bought about 3 years ago. My "uniform" consists of linen or cotton tops and wide legged linen pants. Any color will do as long as it's blue! I really enjoy your enthusiasm and would probably listen to you read the phone book.
Your advice is amazing!! I'm tired of people telling you get clothes that will last you a long time when trends and fashion come and go. Plus most women like to rid of there clothes after a while.
Loved the video! Thank you for not trotting the old neutrals only line of B.S. out. One other thing that will always tell you if you've managed to create a GREAT capsule wardrobe is... It will not look like a capsule wardrobe! It will just look polished and put together and like YOUR FAVORITE STUFF! I hate it when one of my friends creates a capsule wardrobe and without even really thinking about it, you KNOW that's what they did.. so much beige and gray everywhere.. ugh.
Wonderful summary of how to build a wardrobe that will suit you best. I'd love to see separate videos about color, flattering different body shapes, classic styles and cuts, and the power of accessories. Color drives my mood so much. I've decorated my home with fabulous warm colors but my wardrobe is still not quite there. Thanks!
Karen, your POV is spot on! I haven't watched many videos on capsule wardrobes, but many of the articles I've seen lists the same items, which are truly classic, however none that I've read speak about one's lifestyle or aesthetic. I almost got worried because my style is a little bit of all of which you described. I'm not sure there's a good name for it. Glad to see my wardrobe isn't the only one suffering from identity issues. 😂
Quicha Jones I'd call it "eclectic"! 🌻⚡️Jet
ha ha!! Yes I watch these TV segments or mag articles and have over time thought that it's the same old same old which is not what we are: we are individual and so a capsule wardrobe content is a different thing to each person
Jet Kuhn agreed! it truly is. 😉
Quicha Jones Be proud of your eclectic tastes! So much more interesting then as Karen said "the same old, same old", which personally bores me to tears👎 I'd much prefer having interesting clothes, accessories! I'm a rebel, a freak and damn proud of it, and have the wacky, diverse wardrobe that reflects that! My go-to pieces aren't the suggested "norm", they're what I love and suits me. Sounds like you fall into that category as well. Brava👏 for being and staying an individual, not a cookie cutter clone-drone👎! 🌺⚡️Jet
You! You got me! You got me in my confusion lost in my middle age new beginning! You are a star and I am a fan! A new fan!!!
Hi Karen I really appreciate your breakdown and look at each style, very helpful in figuring out what I want to keep and what style I am! tfs xo
Your definition of capsule wardrobe and the terms to have it makes total sense to me!! I loved especially that you didn't use your wardrobe as an example, which I don't have, nor my fit.
You totally inspired me!! I'm probably going to dig up my closet and work on them. Thanks!!!
The best video I have seen on CZcams on the subject. Thanks
Thank you so much. This perspective is very helpful. I've been putting off creating a capsule wardrobe because all other recommendations are focused on black, white and other neutrals, all of which look terrible against my pale cool tone skin, so i dont like wearing them, especially near my face. I've recently learned that cool dark rich or subdued colors make me look and feel fabulous, especially navy, aubergine, teal and red. The contrast is beautifully striking in a way I had never imagined. Breaking away from bad style/color advice has been difficult, now that I know how great I can look I will never wear frumpy styles or pastel colors ever again. Thanks Love 😊
thank you again, I just started a capsule last month and I totally agree that too many capsule wardrobes online look so blahhh and lack personality. I have my core and now I'm just looking for pieces to spice it up, pieces that show my personality.
Absolutely love you videos and your Refreshing altitude of “tell it like it is”rather than the same old clichés we’ve heard 1 million times!
This video seriously helped me. This is my third time watching this video. I may/may not have already commented. I'm determined to sort my wardrobe out now. I just moved living spaces, and although I have the space, I don't want to bring along the clutter.
I love the description of yourself as a magpie. That is just so perfect. I’m borrowing that, for myself.
It would be awesome if you did a series on the capsule wardrobe featuring the basics the way you laid them out in the beginning of the video. That would be so helpful.
one of the best capsule videos (together with UseLess and Justine Leconte who address also body types and color - matching). You are my clear sub. LOVE YA!
Also Marie-Anne Lecoeur talks about styling for body shape, too, and how to add colour to a basic capsule wardrobe. French chic by a Frenchwoman - love her videos!
I like the way you broke down each thing. Especially the LIFESTYLE. No one else does that!
Great tips! Some months ago I cleared out my wardrobe and moved towards a capsule-esque approach to wearing and buying pieces. It's given me great insight into what I wear, what I like and don't like, what I do and don't need etc. My wardrobe fits my life style for sure, although I now think it's probably too casual (I just finished university :P). Not yet sure how to change that up....
This is by far my favorite CZcams channel! I do not understand why she doesn't have more subscribers!? 😍😍😍
Omg, you the only CZcamsr I've found that actually teaches me something about fashion...on every episode! I love your style and your content. And your website. And your Insta. Plus you make me think about my wardrobe and my style, not just steal looks for the seasons ahead (I'm in New Zealand and it's Winter right now) I look forward to tuning in each week. Thank you
I'm really glad that you find my videos are helping you : )))
Sitting down and answering these questions is what has kept me from developing a true capsule wardrobe because it felt overwhelming. Thanks for breaking it down like this.
Hi Karen as a new mature 55 year old plus size subbie please can you create a video about what suits your body shape. I only discovered you a week ago so the past 7 days for me has been avidly playing catch up.
Finally! A realistic, straight-to-the-point video on capsule wardrobes!
I want long, short, neutral, colours, prints... No capsule wardrobe for me, but still, such a pleasure watching you! Great Great videos 💕💕💕💕💕💕👌
Thanks for mentioning retirees! Many of us have tons of clothing and are struggling to downsize/minimalize.
Now this is a capsule wordrobe that speaks to me, since most of the ones on youtube follow one formula that lacks color, diversity and understanding of a woman's body, lifestyle and aesthetic. Recently, I started simplifying and declutting my wordrobe, so I guess I am heading towards capsula path.
I did find this very helpful thank you. so much more real world appropriate than a lot of the minimalist capsule wardrobe suggestions I've seen.
Aaah this is such a good video, thanks Karen! I love the explanation/theory approach instead of telling me specific clothing items to have in my wardrobe. I feel so uncomfortable in white tees and jeans so this was really helpful!
With capsule I’ve always seen stuff like leather jackets/blazers/denim jackets/black-nude pumps/white T-shirt ect. But I’d never wear them, but I did try go out and find a denim/leather jacket anyways, now I know my style really never changes, I’m a skinny jeans and T-shirt person, I never wear high heels, i never wear plain white T-shirt’s (I feel like I look washed out, I prefer black) I prefer cardigans ect that are way different than the cookie cutter wardrobe I try to insert into my starter capsule
Man I wish I had found this video before I bought a minimalist cookie cutter wardrobe that didnt suit me at all. Well, now I know why haha. Thank you for the awesome explanation and tips!!
ha ha yes now you know!!
I do have a capsule!! I took everything out of my wardrobe, placed the items I absolutely loved: which actually defined my style (boho/Rock/basics neutral), I looked at the material, the fit on my body.. Had the piles of the MAYBEs and the NOs. And decided from the MAYBE what was needed in order to do outfit with what I had in my YES pile.. The rest went on the NO pile. It can take a few capsule to master it and to know what to reach for when buying. Since I don't buy as much.
Thank you! You made this so much simpler:)
This is such a fabulous video - thank you!!! ❤️ I'm a freelancer and spend a lot of time working from home, so most of the different capsule wardrobe tutorials don't really apply to me. I don't need office wear and that usually makes up the bulk of other people's capsules. Thank you for helping me realise there's nothing wrong with that 😘
Great video! Thanks for breaking it down where it makes sense!! I just subscribed!!
Thank you for this video, Karen. I absolutely loved it. It was such an original take on the capsule wardrobe and really made me think about my style! 💜
I like how after this detailed analysis you say a capsule wardrobe isn't for me but you do you! Lol, first video by the way! Liked it.
Great advice, thanks. I really love your look today, from your hair cut and style, to the simple dress and natural makeup, you look great!
I think you helped solidify my problem. I'm going from happy massage therapist ->accident->brain injury ->eventual loss of arm -> doing something about it -> mechanical engineering student THEN to a likely 9 to 5 and I'm completely foreign to all of it. Given that if I go through another 7 years in college, and that at the end of college when it comes time ti interview I need to be comfortable. Add that I'm fairly minimalistic. And you've got a recipe for me wanting to buy 2 new garments every semester that will turn into my post education engineering job look. The problem is that with the brain injury I'm re learning who I am, and I am VERY different post injury.
I thought this was so useful as I begin to winnow my clothes...I have way to many I am no longer in the classroom so I don't need those kinds of clothes so much now. I am a new subscriber so I don't know if you are usually more capacious including size 14 and up as examples. I just noticed that within all the other important info, along with your precision passion and humor! Thanks PS the out takes were hilarious!
Oh how much I LOVE watching your videos but more than anything I loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove you. I love how you picture something in your mind and you get speechless for a second or two. I just love EVERYTHING about you and your videos.💋💋💋💋💋💋
