The Lively Show TLS #36 with Caroline Rector: How to Create a Capsule Wardrobe
Today’s Lively Show episode is the perfect blend of deep introspection, inspiration, practical how-to, and fun!
I’m talking with Caroline Rector of the minimalist fashion blog, Unfancy.
Caroline’s blog focuses on creating a “capsule wardrobe,” which – for her – means wearing the same 37 pieces (including shoes!) for three months at a time.
I knew I had to have her on the show to share the journey that brought her to the concept… and share her insights for those of us who would like to attempt a similar experiment in our own wardrobes.
This show is perfect for anyone interested in trying a creative wardrobe framework, simplifying, discovering their true style, or tackling difficult shopping issues.
