Looking to stay on budget or simply to keep the clutter to a minimum? We’re right there with you, girl! Creating a capsule wardrobe – a handful of versatile staples that you can mix and match a millions ways – is a wonderful solution for style savvy ladies who are looking to get organized!
Now, if you’re new to creating a capsule wardrobe you might be thinking to yourself, “Yikes, I can’t live with only 4 outfits!” or “Won’t it look like I’m wearing the same thing every day?” But we’re here to calm your fears and show you how a capsule wardrobe can work for you and be anything but boring!
A capsule wardrobe can contain roughly 12-18 pieces, including accessories, for a given season. It’s vital that these pieces are high quality – otherwise they’ll wear down before the season is even over. Which is why we source the BEST fabrics here at Dainty Jewell’s to make sure your items last season after season! Another key factor in making a capsule wardrobe work is creativity. You have to think of new ways to wear the same pieces, otherwise it will look like you’re cycling through the same outfits over and over! Layer a top over one of the dresses and tie it in a knot for a cute layered look or swap your sandals for wedges and add a denim jacket to your swim dress to go from day to night effortlessly. Challenge your creativity and test out new styling trends – or create your own!
Here are the pieces we believe are essential when creating a summer capsule wardrobe:
A swim dress (Sailing into the Sunset Swimdress)
A layering dress (Your Favorite Dress in Solids)
A good denim jacket (Perfect Denim Jacket)
A comfy maxi (Picnic at Tiffany's Dress)
A little white dress (Petals & Pleats Dress)
A pop of color (Strawberry Fields Dress)
A printed piece (Sidewalk Sorbet Dress)
Two skirts (Shades of Summer Skirt & Scalloped Pencil Skirt)
Two tops (Original Layering Top)
