OOTD – Capsule Wardrobe Basics…Elevated

So you’ve culled your closet (Kon-Mari’d, 30 for 30’d, Project 333’d) and built a capsule wardrobe with key essentials. You’ve got calloused hands from patting yourself on the back.

Now that the dust from your wardrobe fibers has settled you may feel like your basics are, well, too basic.

Solution: Elevate your minimal looks by adding subtle accessories with an unexpected spark.

The key is to take it up just a notch so that you don’t throw your look off balance. Then add snapshots of gold accents to create an element of surprise. You can also choose silver, gun metal, or rose-gold tones and experiment with mixing metals.

I’m not going to recommend the number of pieces, go with what feels right at first and then subtract a piece or two. Personally, 3 pieces (in addition to my wedding and class rings) are my OCD happy place.

Xoxo,
