How do you all feel about a Capsule Wardrobe??
I pretty much already do this but still with a closet full of clothes just in case I however also where dress clothes 5 days a week for at least half a day so I am working on how to make myself look good but yet with less. SO my main clothes consist of the colors of Navy and Black and lots of Black. Black was a uniform in one of my salons and well I just fell in love and hardly can't handle color.
So I have 4 Navy t-shirts and 4 Black t-shirts all of the same brand and well I love the comfort of them then I have two pairs of Jeans and 4 skirts with a few extra shirts for dress up and then a ton of other clothes that I don't wear but keep just in case. I have 3 dress 1 is a little black dress and a summer dress and then just a casual dress.
Then I have workout clothes I truly haven't worn in about 7years and then pajamas and swim wear and more so I am slowly decluttering all of that its in the bottom of my closet so I can make sure I don't need anything in the next month then I will bag it and haul it to goodwill. I still have to go through some of the shirts I have been saving for just in case.
I will post a pic for it at a later time.
Shoes I have a pair of dress boots, short dress boots and dress shoes then I have like four pair of summer heals then I have my beloved birkenstocks I have four pairs of those then I have my tennis shoes and an older pair of tennis shoes as well. I have Sorel Snow Boots for the year we have snow. and of course flip flops for the summer water days. My plan is to pair these down as well. Some will be a must keep as we do live in a four season climate and really can t get away from that completely.
SO this is my wardrobe and soon to be a capsule wardrobe as we go.
I will keep you posted to how this goes. Now to just get started and finish these projects of mine......to be continued.

Goals
Bare with me as I am not a writer whatsoever.
Goals are something I continue to always think about but some how never achieve and I am not sure why that is or how I can come about to start achieving them. I have had goals to achieve a lifestyle for some years now since I was 16/17 years old I however did not know what that movement inside me was or if it was even a possibility to be able to achieve this but this desire has continued to burn inside me down to even this day. I finally understood what that desire was one spring day back in 2009 while I was sitting in my salon where I worked waiting on the next client to come in while I was thumbing through Magazines seeing if there was anything interesting to read when I came across the article Back to Basics: Living with Voluntary Simplicity. As I read this article I started to understand what had been burning inside me and that their was actually a name to it this burning, Now mind you this was the beginning of what now is a trend nation wide actually world wide now. Nine years ago I was living small 500 sq ft and well now I am in a 1400 sq ft home I have made some goals for myself for 2018 My GOAL is to have my personal belongings fit in a carry on suitcase this will be my clothes and toiletries small things like my laptop and charging devices and including my jewelry.
Then to make my house a rental airbnb or something of that nature so the things in my home serve a purpose and that I am not attached and that they could easily be sold if need be with this meaning that each item is in it for a reason.
Then my goal for the garage items are to be no storage of anything but outdoor/seasonal recreational items if they are a household item it needs to be dealt with.
My home is brand new we just moved in in OCT 2017 and so therefore I have not brought anything in that I knew I didn't want in it so its setup fairly well I need to adjust my kitchen things a bit but that will come and then my 14 year olds room and things will need to be adjusted so I am working on that as she has no desire to be a minimalist like me and then well my husband mainly has clothes and then tools in the garage which are minimal as well. I am hoping with making this verbal and in print you all will help hold me accountable. I will take before and after photos of each of these steps.
So here is some of whats in my mind and head I have dreams of some of what I want my home to look like while I am still attached to it.
I will figure out how to get pictures added at some point.
Thank you for following my dreams and listening to my heart.
