7 Days in September : The Perfect Pieces for a Versatile Fall Capsule Wardrobe
Often, you're overworked and struggling on a budget so taking the time to dress nicely or invest in a few items for your “new” body is just too overwhelming.
I know – I feel like I'm there every. single. day.
So, I'm helping you out. Here are some solid and affordable capsule wardrobe pieces (plus a couple of investments) that create a few looks perfect for a stay-at-home mom:
Shop The Look:
Sunglasses // Tassel Necklace // Dark Wash Jean Skirt // Tank Top // Long Cardigan // Ballet Flats // Woven Tote // Black Skinny Jeans // Linen T-Shirt // Chambray Shirt // Statement Necklace // Leather Tote // Canvas Shoes // Black Leggings // Printed Top // Tassel Earrings // Semiprecious Stone Necklace // Designer Tote // Knee High Boots // Baseball Cap // *Be sure to add a raincoat or a light jacket for inclement weather
Step One:
The first step to planning the ultimate affordable fall wardrobe is knowing your lifestyle. Really think about what you'll be doing for the bulk of each day – carpool, nursing, cleaning, playing pirates?
By lumping like activities together, you'll better be able to plan what to wear each day and cut down on the need to create multiple outfits.
Step Two:
Next, you'll need to plan your foundation items (generally, shoes/boots, dresses, shorts, skirts, outerwear, and tops). Pick 1-2 items in neutral colors for each category that would work for at least 2-3 different days.
Don't stress out about this – you may find that you can swap out a foundation piece for a fun accent piece later.
Step Three:
Once you have a basic grasp on how you'll be spending each day, then you can begin to consider the weather conditions for your area.
Try to figure out a look that can be created using one or two special “weather-related” items combined with the same foundation pieces. This will make it easy to plan 1-2 completely different outfits for each day depending on the weather.
Step Four:
Lastly, you'll plan each day's wardrobe and look to see where you can add/swap out accessories or accent pieces to create different looks with each combination.
Try to see if you can reuse the same accessory with another combination – you're looking for every single item to do double (or triple) duty.
