When we search for pictures of capsule wardrobes, we often see simple designs and neutral colors. 

It's relatively logical and mathematical.

The simpler the design, the easier the outfit, and also adoptable in more occasions.

While a lot of us strive for this concept, there are actually different levels of suitability, due to factors such as the size of our homes, occupations, how much we love clothes, and how much time we spend in caring for them.


Here's a picture of my office work/everyday capsule wardrobe around 2018.

The most frequently worn items are out on display, and all other/less frequently worn ones are in drawers at the bottom of this closet (cropped out of picture), coats are either hung by the entrance or tucked away in vacuum sealed bags off season.

In this post, we'll take a look at different levels of suitability C.W. (capsule wardrobe abbreviated).

Each ★ means the easiness/suitability, the fewer ★ the more difficulty, and the more ★ the easier to achieve.


✓ I have plenty of wardrobe/closet space.
✓ I prefer having lots of clothes in different styles.
✓ I like taking the time and labor in caring for all of my clothes.
✓ My lifestyle/environment/occupation requires me to have a wide range of clothes.
✓ I find having a capsule wardrobe more confusing/stressful than being able to choose from dozens/hundreds of choices.
★☆☆☆☆☆ C.W. is is relatively difficult, instead embrace the big space and tons of your choices!

★★☆☆☆ C.W. still not so necessary, but the big space and variety will cover for what you need.

✓ I have medium/small wardrobe/closet space.
✓ I prefer having lots of clothes in different styles.
✓ It's difficult to take the time and labor in caring for all of my clothes.
✓ My lifestyle/environment/occupation requires me to have a wide range of clothes.
✓ I'm like having plenty to choose from, but don't mind giving C.W. a try so I can downsize.
★★★☆☆ C.W. should be considered so your clothes don't take up your space and time.


✓ I have medium/small wardrobe/closet space.
✓ I don't need a lot of choices, just want to build my style.
✓ It's difficult to take the time and labor in caring for all of my clothes.
✓ My lifestyle/environment/occupation doesn't require me to have a wide range of clothes.
✓ I think capsule wardrobe will be more helpful to resolve time and space issues, as well as decision fatigue. 
★★★★☆ C.W. is highly recommended, as you you have limited amount of space/management time, and clothes aren't necessarily the top priority in life.

✔ It's difficult to take the time and labor in caring for all of my clothes.
✔ My lifestyle/environment/occupation doesn't require me to have a wide range of clothes.
✔ I want to achieve this per season / occasion / as my entire collection to avoid decision making, and for the aesthetics.
★★★★★ C.W. is for you, and you have all the reasons to achieve it.

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...
