Happy New Year! I’m not doing the whole resolution thing this year. I never seem to follow through with them 90% of the time anyway so I am not going to waste my time.

Although I do plan on making some better choices this year regarding my eating and exercising habits.

If this year made me realize one thing it was that I really need to focus on living a healthier lifestyle. I was skating by for years based on being able to get out and walk everywhere all the time.

I hope you all had a great holiday. I decided that I wouldn’t post for a week to focus on other things. I’m back today with an artsy capsule wardrobe. To be honest, I didn’t know whether to call this an eclectic capsule wardrobe or artsy.

They kind of mean the same thing to me, but since I went with artsy last time I decided to stick with that.

I know this one is more “out there” and won’t be to a lot of people’s tastes, but it is actually one of my favourite wardrobes to put together.

I am not going to coin the year 2020 as the year of the minimalist, but I will say that it is the year that many people have wanted to embrace a more minimalistic lifestyle, especially minimalist capsule wardrobes.

I know I have.

My minimalist capsule wardrobe fall post has blown up in traffic since last spring and I’m just one small website, so I can imagine what Google’s search has been like.

Have I mentioned how much I thoroughly dislike wrapping presents? Not only do I not like it, but I am also very bad at it.

Although I did manage to get through wrapping about half of the presents today.

I hurt my back blow drying my hair this morning. I guess this is a sign of getting old? I pulled something in my shoulder and now I am walking around like Molly Shannon’s character on Seinfeld who doesn’t move her arms when she walks.

This is why it is important for a seasonal capsule wardrobe to be built with pieces that you will utilize and move forward to the next season.

And that is not even taking into consideration how ridiculously expensive and wasteful it is to buy a completely new wardrobe each season.
