So, it seems as though just about everyone in the bloggy word (or at least the bloggy world I blog in), is talking about fashion and capsule wardrobes and things of that nature.
I'm not super fashionable and I pretty much despise some of the current fashion trends (like patterned leggings...do not get that one at all. I mean, I think they look cute on an 8-year old, but I don't get the appeal for grown women. But then I don't really like patterns anyway).
Anyway, I do like to look at least somewhat put together...most of the time. So, I figured I'd share, since that is the purpose of a blog. right?
This past year, I've been working on putting together a "classic" wardrobe. I guess you could say it is a capsule wardrobe, and I think it fits into the 37ish piece capsule rule. Or close enough, anyway.
Here is what I'm striving for.

Dress For Your Body Type: This is probably the most important rule. I've been working on building a wardrobe that fits my individual body-type. Which happens to be a curvy hourglass figure...emphasis on the curvy part. Which means I buck the current fashion trends and eschew those flowy, loose-fitting, over sized tops that seem to be all the rage in favor of clothing that is more fitted. I still prefer boot-cut to skinny jeans...and I sorta hate leggings. My favorite pair of pants are skirting the bell-bottom line, so I'm definitely going against the trend here.
I'm also trying to find pieces which all go together. I seem to have an overabundance of black, brown and dark blue clothing. Probably because I'm so melancholic. Maybe I will just go for artsy look and wear all black, all the time.

Anyway, here's what I'm wearing this fall (and winter and spring).
Per capsule wardrobe rules, this doesn't include workout clothes, athletic shoes (because I don't wear them outside of athletic endeavors), sleeping clothes, etc.
And, yes, it's a few more than 37 pieces, but a lot of the short-sleeved shirts I wear in the summer, and continue to wear in the fall/winter/spring, just layering something else on top. So this is basically my entire wardrobe, just adding on heavy coats and extra layers when its colder and removing layers and adding in a few pairs of shorts when it's warm.
Yes, my clothes are all wrinkled. No, I'm not going to iron them...ever. I'm trying to start a new fashion trend...the rumpled look. Possibly I might throw them in the dryer, but probably not. Probably I'll just wear them wrinkled.

Possibly I may have 1 or 2 items that didn't make it into these pictures because they were in the wash. But, you get the general idea.
And here's an example of a few outfits put together. Hmm...I guess that green shirt didn't make it into the collage above. Well, that is part of my fall wardrobe as well. So, now you can see everything.
So, this is a link-up with Kendra.
And since there are no rules for Theme-Thursday, I'm going to say I did a Nice Job and link up with the Clan. Yes, it's a stretch, but hey..making collages and writing blog posts ain't easy. And hey, what my pictures lack in quality, they make up for in quantity.
