Building My Winter Capsule Wardrobe!

I’m in the process of building my winter capsule wardrobe, and I want to share how I mix pre-loved and new pieces to create a wardrobe that works for me.

As you know, I mostly buy pre-loved because I get first dibs on all the amazing items that come into the shop, and I love giving them a second life. But I also try to turn my wardrobe over quickly to keep things fresh. Sometimes, though, there’s just something I really want for my wardrobe that I can’t find pre-loved—like this winter, I’m on the hunt for a single-breasted charcoal blazer.

I can already hear you saying, “Aimee, how could you possibly need another blazer?” Well, hear me out! 😅 I don’t have a charcoal one yet, and I’m after a slightly oversized style to layer knitwear and vests underneath. See, I have a plan! 😉

The beauty of building a capsule wardrobe is that it helps me ensure all my pieces work together and I can easily mix and match. Having a plan for my wardrobe means I can be more intentional about what I buy, making sure each piece fits seamlessly with the others.

Plus, I’ve sold quite a few of my blazers through the shop over the past year and have a couple more coming up to sell soon. Not my pink one, or my red one, or my purple check one (those are staying!). But a few others aren’t getting the love they deserve anymore, so it's time to let them go. I love a good wardrobe refresh!
