Hello Everyone,
Today I have a treat for you: My Spring Capsule Wardrobe.
As per definition this is just a core of my wardrobe, the pieces that mix and match and are more neutral and classic.
The idea of a CAPSULE WARDROBE is so you can personalise it with different styling, accessories, colours etc. to suit your lifestyle and your personality.
Apologies about the changing light throughout the video.
The Sun actually came out (a typical British Spring weather: rain and sun at the same time 😜) and confused my camera.
I hope you enjoy this video. Lots more Spring fashion content coming your way!
Thank you so much for watching, subscribing to my channel and for your lovely comments😊
MY CAPSULE WARDROBE is a collection of old but loved clothes, second hand clothes and things I very recently got in a sample sale. Therefore not everything will be linked here. I will try to find similar trusted options that I can recommend with clear conscience.
For the reference I’m 170cm (5’6”) tall and usually wear a size 36/10 unless I’m wearing mens clothes which are either my husbands (size XL) or thrifted in random sizes.

Love that you check out what's current in clothing just to see if it has caught up with your style! You know who you are and what your style is and how you want to look, which gives you confidence. This was such a great video, I often have difficulty figuring out what to wear when the season changes. Even though my wardrobe has good elements, many items similar to what you showed in this video, it's not always easy for me to put things together. You have great style!

Hello Ruth, thank you so much for your sweet and kind comment. I really appreciate it. In terms of styling your clothes for different seasons or being stuck in a style rut, my best friend is Pinterest. I have a few boards that I always go back to. Sometimes I need some inspiration about the colour combination, sometimes layering or proportion. It always gives me lots of ideas. You could also use a Freeform (which I believe is a tool on all apple products) to paste all the photos you have and use a mood board🥰😊

@annap_pl Жыл бұрын

When you say: It's not my colour, do you refer to your preferences only, or maybe you've had some colour analysis done for you? Do you know what your colour palette really is? Are you Dark /Deep Winter? I wonder because generally you tend to choose cool tones, yet sometimes there's a pop of warm beige. I'd love that topic mentioned on your channel. Btw, what colour are your eyes? I look similar that's why I am relating :)

@SlowDownInStyle Жыл бұрын

Hello Anna. Thank you for your comment. When I say “it’s not my colour” I mean it doesn't suit my skin undertone. I did have a mini colour analysis done a while ago, but I felt like I needed more in depth information, so I did my own research. I know now I am a Cool Winter and anything warm (especially beige) washes me out. But there is always a way around it: to wear a white tee, shirt or tank top near my face or just wear a warm colour trousers/skirt/shorts which are away from my face. I also tend to look better with high contrast, anything too muted and pastel doesn't do me a favour. My eyes are brown (we call it a beer colour😜). I hope that helps. In terms of videos on the subject I would need to think of a good way to present it, to show both cool and warm tones. Thank you for your suggestion🫶😊

@kimberlyperrotis8962 Жыл бұрын

I don’t wear synthetic/plastic fibers, even in blends, either. Or plastic shoes or accessories. I do like plant-based Tencel and similar eco-friendly versions of rayon, but no plastics! Tencel is a good cruelty-free alternative, I do feel guilty about wearing so much silk, but I think it’s the most comfortable fiber, by far. I find synthetics/plastics, extremely uncomfortable, irritating and they always look super-cheap, too. I can spot acrylic and polyester at a glance now, usually. If a brand skimps on fabric quality, they skimp on construction, too. They spend millions trying to convince us otherwise, but there is never any reason to add polyester, acrylic, nylon (polyamide), etc., the only reason is to reduce their cost and so, increase their profits. They should spend that money on better fabrics, instead, I don’t want to be compressed all the time and it’s a battle to get clothes with elastane on and off, who needs that? I just received a top from a brand that sells itself on its silks, and it has 20% nylon, how disappointing. It’s short-sleeved, so I don’t think I could actually wear it in weather warm enough to allow short sleeves. Synthetics have zero breathability and the fibers are sharp-edged, they cut into the skin. Natural fibers are more rounded and smooth, and highly breathable. This might not seem very important when young, but once a woman is in her 40s, breathability is the most important characteristic of fabrics. Our bodies simply can’t regulate our temperature as well after estrogen starts declining. Also, allergies to synthetics, like mine, develop over time after repeated exposure, they’re not uncommon. I’ve had to give up fast-fashion, even their natural fibers are poor quality, super-thin and don’t perform or look good.

@SlowDownInStyle Жыл бұрын

Hello Kimberly, You’re so right about the natural fabrics. I try to completely eliminate synthetics from my life, but sometimes I fail (usually when the more sustainable brands don’t have the style I’m looking for). And to be honest I feel guilty, which I think it’s a good thing, because that feeling makes me strive for better😁😘
