Capsule Wardrobe NUMBER 1 - Part 4 of 4

NUMBER THIRTY!!

This post is long overdue! As I mentioned in one of the posts before this, I have completed my Capsule Wardrobe project. Yes, I did it. I wore 30 different outfits in 30 different days with just 5 tops, 5 bottoms and 3 jackets. My very happy face above is a testament to how glad I am to be able to finally move on with my life... and wear something different. 


For my very final outfit (i.e. Number Thirty), I thought I should do something different. So... I wore my tartan shirt as a tube top with a bow tied at the front. Yayy!


And here, for your viewing pleasure, are all 30 outfits that I've worn over the span of the last few weeks. I know I haven't posted individual photos of Number 27, 28 and 29, but I guess there's no need because they are nothing special anyway.

That's all for now folks! I really got to go back to studying for my exams. The next post *should* be on my recent knitting project. I'll write a post on it as soon as it has reached my friend's doorstep in Germany! ^_^

Favourite of this set: No. 24, because I like big hair and I cannot lie.

Also, I feel like I've worn that DIY chambray skirt soooo many times that I'm ready to chuck it out. Which outfit is your favourite so far?

30 outfits from 5 tops, 5 bottoms, and 3 jackets...


Hi everyone! I'm back with my second part of my first capsule wardrobe. Frankly speaking, I can't wait for this capsule wardrobe to be done. I am actually very very tempted to abandon this project. The clothes for this capsule wardrobe were selected in the final days of winter and I totally forgot to take spring's weather and colours into consideration. So here I am, still dressing in winter's colours and clothes, braving the crazy warm and windy spring in Sydney. :(


On a happier note, I have finally recovered from the horrible cough and flu. Life is good again.

For those who only recently started following my blog/ didn't notice/ completely forgot... that chambray skirt that I wore in ELEVEN, TWELVE, THIRTEEN and SIXTEEN is something I refashioned from a shirt I thrifted. The DIY tutorial for the skirt can be found here. 


All right, that's all for now!


P.S.: Uni break week is coming!!!

Capsule Wardrobe NUMBER 1 - Part 1 of 4

I recently moved to a new place with a MUCH BIGGER room. It's so big that I now have 2 tables, 1 for doing uni work and 1 for making crafts. The latter is also where my sewing machine sits. Despite gaining a personal wardrobe and a chest of drawers, I still have difficulty storing all my clothes properly. I can try to fold, stack and squeeze all my clothes into my chest of drawers, but I will most likely end up only wearing the clothes stacked right on top. 


I am utterly sick and tired of buying clothes that I only wear once in a long while and wearing the same 20% of my wardrobe. So... things have to change. 

Capsule Wardrobe NUMBER ONE (5 tops + 5 bottoms)

So... introducing... my very first capsule wardrobe, which consists of 5 tops, 5 bottoms and 3 outerwear (not included in the picture above) that I selected from current wardrobe. I will create a new set of capsule wardrobe once I have had 30 outfits from this set. I don't go out every day, so I find the time frame (e.g., 1 month) for a capsule wardrobe irrelevant to me. 


So, here it is, everyone! My first part of my first ever Capsule Wardrobe...

ONE: Bottom: Fox Grey Pants; Top: I heart Paris Tee; Outerwear: Thrifted Navy Blazer Accessory: DIY scarf

TWO: Bottom: Navy Military Pinafore; Top: All the girls' names Tee; Shoes: Doc Martens Wannabe

My favourite outfit so far is ... FOUR! I just love the preppy look that a plaid shirt and a blazer give!
