The term "Capsule Wardrobe" indeed has an extremely appealing sound to it.

Capsule means tiny or compact, and with all of the clothes we have, how do we ever reach such a level?

Before we begin the process, I wanted us to be reassured that, it's not a mandatory project. If you have plenty of space and love various types of clothes, and have no problem maintaining all articles, then by all means keep as is.

If you're in need of downsizing, moving, or need to do it in the future due to lifestyle changes (such as change of occupation or retirement), then continue reading for guidance.

I started capsule wardrobe, as a result of the rising trend of minimalism and Marie Kondo's tidy up Netflix series a few years ago. I was mesmerized by the concept of small selection of wardrobe mainly because of the pleasant visual effect, and how easy outfits can be created.

The concept was literally life changing, because I was never good at picking outfits, always leaving the choice of what to wear for work until 5min before I'd head out for work. It was a nightmare if all I had were wrinkled shirts and with no time to iron. I wasn't good at keeping clothes neat.

Here are the actual before (2019) and after (2021) of my Spring & Summer and Fall & Winter wardrobes.

As you can tell, my clothes were hung in an closet in 2019, and through about 2 years of work, I reached to my capsule size that I no longer even need the closet (which I repurposed to my kids' closet now they're a little older with more clothes), because at this point (2021) all of my downsized clothes fit in my built in closet (which used to be storage for more unworn clothes that I got rid of to make space).

So the quick picture here is that downsizing our wardrobe not only saves decision making/maintenance time, but it also frees up a lot of space at home, which is pretty essential now that we mostly live/work/school all at home. 

I'll explain detailed steps in the next posts, 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...
