Winter capsule wrap up. Can you believe it’s already time to wrap up winter? I mean sure I have been excitedly planning for spring for about the last month and half but that’s beside the point. So the winter capsule folks, what did I think? Well honestly I am a hundred percent happier with my wardrobe as a whole as far as winter goes but I also cheated this season as I discussed here+ why? Because I wanted to wear the rest of my wardrobe! It’s been an uber interesting Autumn and Winter as far as dressing goes and I feel so set for next year. The fabulous thing about doing the capsule wardrobe challenge as I’ve stated a million times before is that it aligned my real life with my imaginary and for AW I feel like I have a great grip on how I like to dress and what I need to make my life tick. Here is a list of my must haves for Autumn and Winter no matter what the trends in 2015/16. Basics:

• Tights in black
• Leggings
• Tank tops for layers
• V neck T-shirts

Casual

• Long sleeved scoop neck T shirt in plain or stripes
• Chambray Shirt
• Plaid shirt
• Longline knit cardigan
• Short cardigan
• Great blue jeans (skinny fit)
• Blue jean alternative

Work smart

• Black or dark pencil skirt
• Smart work trousers
• Smart blouse/shirt
• White shirt

Shoes

• Flat comfortable and supportive boots
• Full foot covered, flat smart shoes
• Smart ankle boots
• A sexy pair of heels

Accessories

• Thick knitted scarf
• Knitted hat
• Knitted headband
• Full fingered gloves in leather
• Half finger gloves in knit.

Exercise

• Ankle length running leggings/tights
• Thicker leggings for cycling
• Sweat tank layered under a regular tank (I don’t like my arms covered too much)
• Luminescent runner’s jacket
• Long sleeved light weight running jacket with reflective strips
• Swim costume
• Gloves for running
• Padded full fingered gloves for cycling
• Warm headband for running
• Running Shoes with reflective strips for night time runs
• Walking boots
• Alternative trainers for cycling if needed

This is all quite extensive and yet I feel like I’ve missed something but you get the picture. Spending six months with limited access to my clothes has been an incredible experience it really forces you to examine what you actually wear. It also limits confusion I definitely have more clothes to get rid of and I will be readjusting my size restrictions next autumn but overall I have such a better grasp on what a wardrobe should be and I’m hopeful that my clothes will soon not need a room of their own!
