The capsule wardrobe is a great time and space saving concept for our everyday use.

If there's 1 occasion where it proves its full potential, it's traveling.


In 2020, I invited my parents to a 10-day trip to Hawaii to celebrate their anniversary, and all I needed were my carry-on backpack and a compact suitcase.

3/4 of my compact suitcase was filled up with outfits and other necessities, and 1/4 was intentionally left empty, to carry souvenirs.

Since my intention was to solely to enjoy the trip, and not worry at all about my luggage, I aimed to travel extremely light.

I could've been packing/carrying twice as much stuff, with no extra room in the suitcase , had I not known the beauty of capsule wardrobe..!

Here's how I created my capsule suitcase.

I first made sure the hotel offered laundry, the more I could wash, the less clothes needed.

In my case, I was able to do washing everyday or every other day.

I brought 3 top pieces and 3 bottom pieces.

So 3 x 3 would give me 9 ways of outfits.

The dress could be worn on its own, to be the 10th outfit.

Here are some actual pictures with the outfits.

Bonus tip: Plan for unplanned outfits.

My mom was really hyper about the trip, and bought us matching Hawaiian dresses, so it was a nice surprise add-on.

I actually ended up wearing this dress more than any of the outfits I brought lol.



The trip was a big success, thanks to the company of my parents, great location, and couldn't have been better if it weren't for concept of capsule wardrobe that allowed me traveling light and enjoy every single moment to the fullest extent.


I now adopt this concept in my everyday life, not just when traveling, and this is what helps me feel at peace, happy, and better at problem solving than dwelling on problems.


Will share more tips, stay tuned!

 Homemaking Tips 🌷 9: Decumulate (part 2) Homemaking Tips 🌷 Home °　˖　✧　✧　˖　°　°　˖　✧　✧　˖　° Blog Home 🌷 Wardrobe ✧ Homemaking ✧ Body In the previous post,  Homemaking 🌷 8: Decumulate (part 1) , I mentioned that decumulation should be done on a routine basis, to avoid inadvertently increase the frustration and anxiety on ourselves.  What do we do when it comes to items of sentimental values, that we have stronger attachments with? It gets harder, but there are times it's still better to let g than to hold on, because you may be blinded by these particular items, while there are new opportunities waiting for you. We only have so much time and energy, so if we let sentimental value stop our clock from being able to move onto the next stage in life, then it may actually be an obstacle, rather than a treasure.  The longer we dwell on debating whether or not to let go of something, the further we're away from our next opportunity. The value of these particular items...

Homemaking Tips 🌷 12: Secret to Motivation (part 1)  Homemaking Tips 🌷 Home °　˖　✧　✧　˖　°　°　˖　✧　✧　˖　° Blog Home 🌷 Wardrobe ✧ Homemaking ✧ Body There's nothing as powerful, AND, frail, as our willpower. We rely heavily on such a thing as motivation whenever we face a new task. Wouldn't it be great of we knew what kind of food or beverage converts well as motivational energy, so we won't have to wait for it to occur and lead the way? What exactly is motivation, and why is it so hard to find it from within, when it comes to homemaking, organizing, or cleaning?  Let us take things from a different perspective - - -  Do we need motivation, when we: Get up in the morning and open up the curtains? Brush our teeth? Change our clothes? Make our morning beverage? I believe the answer is no for most/all of the above. Why is that? The answer is simply because we've built all these habits as daily routines, since childhood, and we no longer need to seek advice or guidance, to do t...
