Elements of Women's Wardrobe

Video Transcript

"We're going to recap a little bit of what we've learned today, on how to build a capsule wardrobe. We're also known as that great mix and match wardrobe. Remember when we started, we talked about a small amount of clothing we're going to start with. We're starting with seven pieces on this particular capsule wardrobe. Start between five and eleven pieces, keep it an odd number. So we did our seven pieces. We're working with three colors. Three colors only. Three colors that look great on you. And each item must go with at least three other pieces within the capsule wardrobe. Everything here will mix and match. Next, remember we talked a little bit about accessories and how important accessories are to kind of jazz up the solids. We talked about prints with our scarves. But remember we also said keep your scarves and your accessories, again, along with the capsule feel. We're keeping basically the three colors going with our scarf capsule. Also with jewelry, we are going to use three different elements here. We did pearls, we did some black enamel, and we did gold. Again, everything is going to work within this wardrobe, the seven piece wardrobe. We also talked about using belts. If you're a belt person, remember we've got the gold going with the jewelry so we want to keep the belts, any kind of buckles, keep that with the gold also. It just gives you a very polished look. Again, works with all of these items. Now don't forget necklaces. Again we're going to do the necklaces the same way we did the jewelry. We're keeping with the pearls, with the black enamel, and again with the gold. So that will all work together. And handbags, we talked about just needing one handbag, a neutral, to go with this terrific capsule wardrobe. Because we're basing it on black, our good neutral, but if we want to add a little pizzazz we can throw in a red handbag too. And don't forget the shoes, very important. You're just starting out, and you just need to get some basics going. You just can get away with this entire capsule, with a pair pumps, sling backs, whatever type of shoe that you like, as long as it's closed-toe would work the best. Or perhaps even with some of the pants you might want to do a little half boot. Again half boots will work better with the pants, not the skirt. So I hope that helped today, and that you're all excited about doing this. And that next time you travel you think about doing the capsule, and you're going to be a lot happier because you're going to save that time and money.
