Fall is in the air and officially here this week. Although I used to be a summer-loving girl, I have crossed over and fallen for fall. This new season brings perfect days, cool cozy nights, and booties and sweaters. Yes, please.
This last year I have been experimenting with capsule wardrobes (click here to find my spring and summer capsules) and today I want to share my capsule wardrobe for this fall. There are more items in it than usual because weather in the midwest can change drastically in a day. One day I’m sweating in a tank top and shorts and the next I have on a cardigan and fuzzy socks. There are some pieces that will be stored away after the warm weather has left us, but most pieces will stay until even after winter is here.
Fall Capsule Wardrobe Breakdown
2 pairs of pants (1 denim, 1 black)
1 pair of shorts
2 pairs of leggings (1 athletic, 1 SPANX) All the praise hands for SPANX.
1 dress
6 tank tops
5 short sleeve tops
2 comfy athletic tops
5 quarter length or long sleeve tops
5 sweaters
1 hip length cardigan
1 kimono
2 sweatshirts
1 jean jacket
2 vests (not pictured)
This totals out to 36 pieces, a few more than my summer wardrobe. I know I’ve said this before, but it’s not about the number. It’s about having enough. I enjoyed the challenge of my 7 Experiment back in June, but realized I like options and get a teensy bit crabby without them. If you want to challenge yourself and try a smaller capsule wardrobe, check out Courtney Carver over at Project 333.
This fall I picked up a button down flannel shirt and a rose colored sweater to give myself some more choices the next few months. I am still hunting for something to wear for family pictures in a few weeks, but if I don’t feel like shopping (which most of the time I don’t), I will simply wear something already in my closet.
I would love to know…are you trying out a capsule wardrobe this fall? If so, check out this free printable to help you get started.
