the idea of a capsule wardrobe is so fucking bonkers to me cuz they're like

"you should only have 30-60 items"

and you're like wow that sounds tough

amd then you find out that that's PER SEASON and also doesn't include underwear and socks and pajamas and whatnot

and suddenly you're just like??? that's just a normal fucking amount of clothes???

they make it sound like it's some Revolutionary Minimalist Idea but it's just how normal people dress i think

"every item should be versatile and work in more than one outfit!" is that not how most people shop? like, we don't have money for one-outfit-wonders; that shirt better look good with at least two pairs of pants that we own or it's not worth it

#eliot posts #it's almost challenging in the winter i guess #cuz then each outfit has like 2-3 shirts 1-2 pants boots coat gloves hat etc #but in the summer? shirt shorts shoes and maybe a sunhat and/or accessory. maybe a jacket or cardigan for going to air conditioned places #zero challenge at all to pare that down #but yeah like i didn't even plan my wardrobe very Intentionally #and i definitely don't have that sleek minimalist aesthetic most capsule wardrobe ppl promote #and yet i hardly ever feel short on clothes #(unless i have gone A Very Long Time without doing laundry and am LITERALLY running out)#and i've gotten many compliments on ny sense of style #like i think i could stand to add a few more items to my wardrobe #specifically varying the cuts. bc i already have a nice variety in colours #...i almost wonder if the lack of colour makes it MORE difficult to keep a reasonable number of clothes.#it's hard to make outfits look UNIQUE if it's all fuckin beige
