Welcome back!
This week we are taking a closer look at the concept of a capsule wardrobe. Did you get a chance to see what items you own already that are office appropriate? Try answering the poll on the right sidebar of this blog.
Let’s break down the concept a little further. The term “Capsule Wardrobe” was first used in the 80’s by a British boutique owner named Susie Faux. She wanted a way to help women refine their wardrobes and declutter their closets (Bennett, 2017). Owning a wardrobe full of interchangeable pieces will save you both time, and money.
In 2012, Investopedia said “In the business world, how you present yourself is, at times, almost as important as the skills you bring to the table”. This thought should resonate with all of my readers because I know each one of you wants to obtain an amazing position in the business world. First impressions matter, but so does your presence on a daily basis. That is why perfecting an office-ready wardrobe is essential.
A capsule wardrobe can consist of 10 or more versatile pieces that allow you to get ready with ease. You know in advance that all of your articles work together in varying combinations, allowing for a minimal yet effortless wardrobe. Utilizing some basic closet building blocks, you can create your own capsule wardrobe. Next, we will find out where to shop for the best deals on a dime.
