Capsule Wardrobe Part 1 for Spring/Summer – Shirts

I sometimes wonder if my kids are feral. With the constant yelling, fighting, talking, running around, the messes (my god, the messes) and the complete inability to whisper they resemble a wild animal more than a kid 😉 I was in the car the other day waiting for Tom while he was in the Liquor Store buying much needed sustenance I took a picture of what was happening in the back seat right at that moment. It pretty much summarizes out lives.

Just a regular day

Now an update of the Capsule Wardrobe that I am building. If I haven’t mentioned it in any earlier post this capsule is going to be a Capsule Wardrobe on a Budget. That means that every piece Continue Reading →

Capsule Wardrobe Closet Purge

Sara Leave a Comment

A few posts back I talked about my intention of building myself a capsule wardrobe. Since I don’t have a lot of extra disposable income I can’t rebuild my wardrobe from scratch like they do on What Not to Wear. I always secretly hoped that I would get nominated for the show (even though I didn’t dress bad) just so I could get Stacey and Clinton to build me a wardrobe. Since I can’t build from scratch I have to build from what I already own which is going to be a huge step by step process.

My first step was to purge my clothes. I wish that I had a group of friends like in the Sex in the City movie where Carrie goes through her closet and tries on all of her clothes and the girls yay or nay them so she can get rid of things before moving in with Big. I need that kind of help. I had a lot of things hanging in there that haven’t been worn in a long while. Some of it even years. I tend to hold on to things because I think that they may come back in style in a few years. I have learned the hard way that they tend to. For example I had an awesome pair of red espadrilles that I bought years ago. I pitched them about 4 years ago and now I see them all over the place. It figures. I managed to purge so much stuff this time around. I was super cut-throat and managed to get rid of A LOT. This was my closet before.

I’m not an overly emotional person. It takes a lot to make me cry, I am extremely awkward around other people’s children, and I am definitely not a winner in any mommy war competitions. I don’t even care to compete most times. But today is Mother’s Day and I wanted to share a sweet moment from my youngest child. Continue Reading →

As you know we have talked about taking the girls to Disney World really soon.

We were discussing maybe around October would be a good time because the busyness summer would be over and the current show Tom is working on will be wrapping up.

Disney also has a lot of Halloween activities in October and I think the girls would really enjoy that. I wonder if that means we don’t have to trick or treat this year ;( I hate trick or treating.  

I wish I could pawn it off on to Tom.

I Am Dreaming About a Capsule Wardrobe

Capsule Wardrobe

Everywhere I look online I am reading about the capsule wardrobe and how it is life changing. Every woman in my Facebook groups are posting links and announcing “I need to try this!” I kind of have been doing this for years but a) without knowing it and b) not following the rules per-say.
