Budget Wardrobe — Everyday a Choice

As predicted, my summer wardrobe doesn’t look a whole lot different than my spring one did. I did the“Kon-Mari Method" all my clothes before our summer clothing swap and also per her advice, I do hang all of my clothes in the closet now, I just separate out my capsule from the rest. I got rid of some pieces, added a couple new dresses, skirts and shirts. Including shoes, Summer came out to 47 pieces. I’m not much of a shoe gal, so I figured I’d include shoes this time around. As usual, no workout/Pjs/undergarments. Here’s the breakdown of the 47:

•   8 tops
•   8 bottoms (6 skirts, 2 pair shorts)
•   10 layering tops/sweaters
•   15 dresses
• 6 pairs of shoes

I’m still finding this exercise great to make my wardrobe simpler and it easier to get ready in the morning. I’m better able to separate out different types of clothes and I still hang my hangers backwards so that I can see what I actually wore during the 3 months. I have a feeling a few things may have to be retired after this summer since they haven’t gotten much wear over this last year.

So here it is, my Summer July/August/September capsule wardrobe:
