Unrelated, but just a reminder that there is only a few weeks left to register for the online personal stylist training with me! www.fashiontranslated.com/personal-stylist-training/ Hope you all enjoyed the video! Tag me on Insta (@ChristieRessel) if you create a capsule you love! xo
I just found you! Love this video. Was wanting to know if you plan on doing another class on "Becoming a Personal Stylist"? Would love to learn from you? I seen a question someone asked, but no answer to it, she had asked how do you arrange your closet when you have modules within your clothes capsule in your closet? Do you keep your pants togethers, shirts together etc..? Also do you have a video on accessories? And what about adding a few trendy pieces to your modules? Yes or no? Can't wait to watch all of your of videos. Thank you
I'll have another class in the spring on becoming a stylist. My next online course will be the "how to find your personal style" course that will open in a couple of weeks. As for the other questions, I've answered those in other closet related videos on my channel (too much to type here). xo
You can definitely add trendier pieces but won't be the majority of the capsule wardrobe; and i think it'd help you to stand even and show your own personality :-)
Finally, a realistic and functional breakdown of how to build a capsule wardrobe for real people which includes COLOR and patterns. Excellent explanation of how to actually start building a capsule with "modules" around lifestyle vs. the usual "wear neutrals" and the "look at my 30 black, grey, white, denim clothes for my SoCal-work-from-home-lifestyle".
I wish I had known all these tips 10-12 years ago when I shopped all the time, came home and had “nothing to wear” (it was actually a problem of “nothing to pair”).
You blow my mind! I'm 60 and very depressed about the aging process I barely get out of bed anymore.I love fashion,and decided to step up my game. There's soich to learn,but I feel so much better about myself,just in a couple weeks Thank you,darling
You should check out Advanced Style -- they're fabulous for style inspiration as we mature and challenge the idea that it we can't have fun as we age. I love them!
As someone who loves the idea of capsule wardrobes but lacks money to actually go and buy clothes, the idea of modules really appeals to me. I always get excited about creating a capsule wardrobe but then when I create a list of what I would need to buy the excitement turns into depression when I realise how much it will cost me. I think it would be a lot easier for me to look at what I currently own as a starting point and add one or two additional pieces using this method. Then when I save enough money I could do it again for another module. Bit by bit, piece by piece.
You definitely don't need to go out and buy more items to make a "capsule" wardrobe. The whole point is to save money & time (less items, better quality // less wasting time getting ready, more time spent on what you love) so "shop within your closet" and build from there!
topknot unfortunately my wardrobe is actually lacking. I have recently finished a university degree, which means I spent a long time buying minimal clothing. A lot of my wardrobe is either overly loved, or not appropriate for my new profession. So yes, for me, buying a few new pieces will be a better option.
I am a sahm of 4, trust me when I tell you I feel your pain. It wasn't until I found Thredup and swap.com that I was able to buy great quality for a fraction of the price.
I am planning on doing exactly same. Shop in my closet first and then buy the missing pieces. I love the idea of finding a printed top & work around its color.
FINALLY! A video that actually explains the system to put together a capsule wardrobe instead of just girls showing their CW without any clues on how to get there!! 😍😍🙌🏽🙌🏽 Gonna binge on your vids later today!! THANK YOU!!
I have seen maybe 100 capsule wardrobe videos and this is honestly the only one that made any kind of sense. LOL THANK YOU! Will definitely apply the tips you've given here :)
I have to say this was the MOST helpful video on capsule wardrobes I have ever watched. After all the reading I had done, I felt so overwhelmed by this task of picking just "one style forever". That I had to limit myself to 5 shirts,two pants etc etc when I was really interested in some vastly different styles and colors. This honestly makes me feel insanely better,and empowered, to figure out what I want to do with my wardrobe
They're lots of wardrobe organizing apps for both Android and iPhone users, like Pureple, My Closet(that's the one I use). You take pictures of your clothing items and upload it to the app while categorizing them. Then you can see everything you have laid down in front of you and create looks or let the app create looks for you based on the type of clothing items you choose. Then you can add it to the calendar this way you keep track of what you wore on each day. I found it extremely helpful. Also I wear a lot of neutrals and when I get bored I just slap a red lipstick on. That's my tip :)
I've been wanting to work on a capsule wardrobe, but I get overwhelmed and can't make decisions. Making modules sounds so much easier! Thank you for showing up in my video feed. I think I can do 6 pieces. I hope.....
Yes for prints! ♥ Printed vintage blazers are my top layer go-to -- they add a bit of fun and set the tone/colors for the rest of the outfit. And I love the module concept; I've unintentionally made modules for each color scheme I wear (pale neutral, soft pastels, and jewel tones). All three look great together, so there's tons of options for far less closet space. It's larger than the traditional capsule wardrobe (I wear alternative fashions with lots of layers), and it's helping me limit what I buy & keep. Everything needs a purpose! No more looking at piles of clothes and going, "but I have nothing to wear."
Thank you for clearly explaining this. I struggle with style, well anything beyond jeans and a t-shirt atleast. With my husband and I having both lost a serious amount of weight, your advice will help keep us from breaking the bank or buying pieces we dont need. Thank you so much.
Wow! Love the "module"concept! 12 outfits from one module, would work for travel for 10 day trip!! May have to try it when I go to Europe next year. Such a pick me up on this snowy day❄❄tired from shoveling, more to do tomorrow.. Thanks , Christie!! -Reggie in NY
I've been struggling all year to put together a capsule. It's overwhelming to try and match everything with everything. MODULES are BRILLIANT! It was the missing piece of the puzzle. So glad I found your channel xo
I have watched many videos to purge my wardrobe and build a wardrobe that works for my lifestyle. I work from home, travel for my job, belong to several social clubs that have specific colors, active at my church (where I don't wear pants), attend a lot of social functions (formal and semi-formal) with my hubby. This is the first video that gave me permission to have more than one capsule wardrobe. I also LOVE the module concept. Thank you and well done.
Thankyou for the mention of colour. I have finally bitten the bullet and created a capsule wardrobe, and it is like a rainbow of gelato colours. And I love it!
Modules within a capsule has just set me! Now I am clear on how to shop with a goal in mind! Love that you share so much of yourself with your angels 💕👠🌹
Just discovered this channel. Gotta say, this is one of the best capsule wardrobe videos I’ve seen...really like the “module” concept. AND I like that you start with a print and use some color! A great trick I’ve used that dovetails with this is to pick tops that are distinctly different from each other...so you don’t look like you are wearing the same thing everyday. So a print, a color, and either a different color or a neutral would fit the bill! Well, I just subscribed, so gotta watch more of your content. Thanks!!!
I modified this slightly to include a dress in each module. The dress can be worn as a stand-alone or it can be layered with other pieces. I packed 2 modules for a 3-month trip and had tons of options.
I LOVE this!! I have wanted to do a capsule wardrobe for a while, but couldn't figure out how to do it without ditching my entire wardrobe and starting over. The module technique encouraged me to go through my current wardrobe, and I was able to create TWO modules from what I have, and I can have 3 or maybe even 4 if I buy a few extra pieces. What I was so excited about is I got rid of TONS of things that have been languishing in my closet for years, and I even figured out how to wear 3 pieces of clothing I've never or hardly ever worn. Thank you!!!
Loved the video. Will begin to build my capsule wardrobe. I finally understand how to shop and expand my wardrobe without spending a lot of money. I also like the fact that I will be able to focus on better quality clothing since I don’t need a lot of pieces. 👍😊
Well Done! I started using a capsule wardrobe system more than a decade ago (when i entered the professional work space). I started with 8 pieces of clothing in my first module. To this day I still look at my schedule and check that the clothing in my capsule roughly match the percentages of my schedule for those activities. My current wardrobe has 29 clothing pieces and 3 pairs of shoes, my winter coat and boots. The capsule wardrobe has worked for me for over a decade because of these types of tips you are giving.
I almost skipped this video. This is the best fashion advice of all time. The fashion "aha" moment. You have saved valuable time, mental energy and money!!!!!! THANK YOU! GOD BLESS!
This was what I was looking for!! I use the shutdown these days to declutter and organize my closet. I use the App my closet as well. It's very helpful. But I struggled a bit with tips like: These basics you def need" I have a part time Office Job (casual) , 4 Teens and am always on my bike. I love to run, walk, skate. I have very few options to go out and dress up. So I def need funktional pieces, sporty tops, blouses and jumpers, which also work in the office. So Good, that you said to consider the Lifestyle first!! And I loooove colorful /Statement pieces. So good to hear, that I can still havea capsule closet 😀😍🌹
Watching this video has completely changed the way I shop, I can finally see what my personal style is, and shopping isn’t just ohh this is cute but would I wear it. Thank you so much!
Hi Christie, I am totally blown away by how well you’ve explained the mechanics behind building capsule wardrobes. As someone who has pretty serious body image issues, I tend to only feel good in very few, selected pieces. I’d wear my favorite 2 outfits in a row and find myself having nothing to wear on the third day. Thank you for making this video. It gave me so much inspiration that I’m very excited to get out and build me some modules! First time on your channel and girl, you’ve definitely gotten a new subscriber
Hey, could you please add French caption? My mum and sister definitely need to watch your video but they don't speak English. Thank you so much for your simple and straight to the point video. Your advices are exactly what I was looking for and needed. I have tones of clothes, never know what to wear, have no style and I am embracing a minimalist lifestyle. Your fantastic video will help me with all of that 😊
I see capsule wardrobes all the time but I never really understood how to make it happen. Thanks k you so much. I am so excited because I'm pretty sure I already have at least a module or two in my closet and I can't wait to build from that
I don’t plan on making a capsule wardrobe right now, but for when I go off to university. I’ll have my capsule wardrobe at my dorm for the week, and the rest of my clothes at home for the weekend.
I got on Pinterest and looked up casual outfits because I wear basically all casual looks. Anyhoo, I saved all the outfit pix I liked into a ‘clothing’ section. Then when I can’t decide what to wear, I go back to my pinspirations and pull the closest pieces I have in my closet based on the pic.
This is the first how to create a capsule wardrobe video I've watched and I've just realised the only one I need to watch. Thankgod. What seemed a total mystery to me now makes perfect sense and I don't have to watch the ten videos I lined up on my playlist. Thankyou so much 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Christie-Thank you for breaking this down, I have tried capsule wardrobes without much success. It seems so so obvious (mindblown) now that I hear it, but I have SAHM-wear, Clean and tidy the yard-wear, Home improvement-wear, Out with friends/Date-night-wear, Workwear, special occasion-wear (weddings and funerals) and sportswear etc. It is no wonder that I felt like pairing down wasn't working, because it really only gave me a very stylized sliver of the actual life I lead (attempting to be stylish while painting the kitchen or cleaning the toilet isn't really worth a blog post-LOL) but it wasn't clicking when I was looking at the outfit combos I was seeing online. All I can say is my daughter would be telling me: DUH, mom! right now if she were here! Thanks for snapping me out of it!!! I especially love that my modules can be based on any number of bottoms to start and then add the proportionate number of tops.....
Best capsule wardrobe video EVER! The module approach really makes sense - it’s given me something tangible that I can work with. Thanks so much for the brilliant advice!
You explain this so well! As an expectant mom, I'd love to see a maternity styling video some time. Budget-friendly finds would be great, since you only wear those clothes for a short time.
Ok second comment here! Lol but I had to stop the video to tell you how awesome your tips are! Because you and I have VERY different personal style (color, patterns, esthetic ) and your tips still work so well for me and my personal style! You can tell you know what you're doing!
Thank-you! Yes, that's the beauty of style -- we're all different! It's so important that we're all able to create styles we love (and still get the versatility we crave). I'm all about that with my clients. xo
you are the first ever stylist who spoke my heart... I always had a question, how could a fashion or fitness models wardrobe video work for me... i always though it was useless.... this video indeed is not useless.... it speaks my heart.
Christie, I’ve never heard a capsule wardrobe described this way but it’s a wonderful way to shop your existing clothes and figure out what you still need and what’s got to go! Thanks for the video!
I am watching this having just discovered that my husband's and my entire spring/summer wardrobe was ruined by a flooded basement! Bang for buck is the name of the game, so THANK YOU for putting this together (even though it was a while ago). ❤️
I really appreciate that you mention that we should look at our day and find what fits best for us/our lifestyle. Great ideas, thank you for the video!
Thank you soooo much for sharing.i have absolutely nothing to wear and I found that I don’t like my clothes. I’m new to this, I am turning 21 soon and come from a wardrobe full of very colorful childish and plain clothes. So I got rid of everything I can’t match with other new items so it encourages me to put together a more mature clothing with a capsule wardrobe.
I love how you say it could be this or that for the modules rather than these are your basic wardrobe must-haves. Quite frankly, a lot of capsule wardrobe can be a little bit daunting and disheartening especially for someone who lives in a hot and humid climate. We only have two seasons, that's hot and rainy season, with a short cool weather from December to February. The only time I can layer clothing is when we're going to airconditioned buildings/facilities or during those cool weather months. I figured having more sleeveless and breathable tops or dresses, and maybe good shorts, skirts will allow for maybe a light layering outer pieces like light blazer, light cardigans, vests, or even a loose jean jacket. I'll definitely try to incorporate your tips in to building my wardrobe.
Even though I am not new to styling videos and I've found my personal style a long time ago, I found this video to be super informative and helpful. Your idea of modules is what I have been missing all of this time. Thank you so much!
I saw the first 10 seconds of the video and instantly subscribed. This is exactly what i needed. Thank you. And yes, finally someone tells about a colourful capsule wardrobe and not just neutrals. 👍🏼💫
Thanks for telling me I don't have to get rid of everything but 30ish items to make a capsule wardrobe. I love my closet but always ended up wearing the plainest outfits out for fear of clashing items. Plus, it's not stretched out - under fifteen minutes. Thank you so much
I would have paid big money for someone to teach me the module concept! That's it - I"m done. I totally get it. This season will be my second capsule wardrobe - last season changed the game for me forever. This time it will be much simpler because I have the module formula. Thank you so much - you've genuinely added so much value right here!!!
I love the module idea. That and the fact that you use prints and colors makes this one of my favorite capsule wardrobe videos. I also love seeing a more adult wardrobe, since many capsule wardrobes are super casual and neutral.
OMGG THANK U SMMM THIS HELPS SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST BEING BORINGGG ILYYY alsooo sumthin id say is change ur hair around it can change ur outfit smmm and also if somthing doesnt rlly fit in ur style any more 👏 fix 👏 it 👏 by that i mean like maybe ctop it make it tighter change somthinggg u never know how much it helps and its pretty much freeeeee thank u sm btw And layering ur clothes in diff ways rllly helps
I love the module idea - I feel like this is what I've seen in several 'how to pack light to travel' videos without the presenters breaking it down so clearly as you do. I'm the opposite of a minimalist, but I'm going to try your approach the next time I travel anywhere!
Absolutely love this vlog, never heard of how to do a capsule wardrobe ever before, and I’ve learned so much about modules from you, I’m going to do it and start from one module then do two and so on, I’ll also start photographing pictures of me in outfits to start to visulize these outfits before I go to the wardrobe in the morning, so grateful of your comments and help, what an amazing vlog luv luv luv xxxxx😁😂🤣
This is such a great video! I love colour and prints and until now I’ve felt that a capsule wardrobe wasn’t for me but this module approach makes it seem possible! 💕
I’ve been obsessed with capsule wardrobes for over a year, but honestly it’s been a struggle because no matter what I came up with, it never seemed to actually fit together. The idea of modules is so what I needed to hear!! Thank you - I’m going to go clean up my closet now 👌🏼💕
I am not a traditional girl that loves clothes but I do recognize that i have too much and some just dont go together. I had started thinking of a capsule wardrobe and now i come across the video that is actually explained so i can understand. this makes me more confident that i can sort myself out.
Oh my goodness. This video has a new tip that i have not heard before! The modules within a capsule wardrobe. This is fantastic!! I started cleaning out my closet and buying a few basic pieces that I was missing, but still seem to struggle. I think this concept of the modules and how you go about creating the modules is going to push me further in my quest for effortless dressing! Thank you so much!
Your hair is stunning this color and I cannot take my eyes off your face. It totally makes your eyes pop. I am totally re-thinking my color. Capsule wardrobes are a great way to go. Would you consider doing a video on lipsticks and showing which colors for which seasons?
Thank you for explaining color and prints as well as different activities throughout the week! I love "loud" clothes but am trying to downsize my wardrobe. At one point last year, I accidentally created a capsule wardrobe in my suitcase and happily lived out of it for a month and a half, which made me see that I don't need nearly so many clothes. However, it has been a little tricky since I have so many different interests that require different kinds of clothes, plus my own natural love of color and prints that tends to bog me down. I think this video will really help me make significant progress with simplifying! Thank you!!!
Having seen a few youtubes re capsule wardrobes, I was still perplexed about the concept and how to put it into action in my closet. This video is what "lit the lightbulb" (finally) in my head. The concept of modules is genius and made all the difference. Thank you for your inspiration, creativity and savvy style sense Christie! I always walk away having learned something valuable, applicable and new after watching your videos. I feel uplifted knowing that I am not the only one out there with need for some "closet remedies," and your expertise is exactly what gives me that booster shot of confidence that I can do it! Question: are some hangers better than others? I see a lot of variations out in the market place from velvet grip to thick plastic ones. Granted, some are better for "air drying" clothes than others and some are thinner to optimize closet space, but overall, is there a "best of the best" hanger out there? Keep up the great work! Style on!
So happy you enjoyed it and learnt something new! For hangers, I personally love the velvet ones as nothing slips on them and they're quite thing so they don't take up too much room. xo
Unrelated, but just a reminder that there is only a few weeks left to register for the online personal stylist training with me! www.fashiontranslated.com/personal-stylist-training/
Hope you all enjoyed the video! Tag me on Insta (@ChristieRessel) if you create a capsule you love! xo
Christie Ressel will you have more in the future?
+ Maeling DePeza I should, yes! Just unsure when at this time.

Right? It makes such a difference!
Chelsea Garay spot on!
Chelsea Garay lol same
Great phrase--exactly
Totally! I'm having the same issue! I used to just buy on a whim and not think about whole outfits. As a result, don't have a wardrobe that works.
You blow my mind! I'm 60 and very depressed about the aging process I barely get out of bed anymore.I love fashion,and decided to step up my game. There's soich to learn,but I feel so much better about myself,just in a couple weeks
Thank you,darling
You should check out Advanced Style -- they're fabulous for style inspiration as we mature and challenge the idea that it we can't have fun as we age. I love them!
So glad you’re feeling better! I will be trying this so I can focus more on family, school and work rather than shopping and choosing my outfits!
Finally! A capsule wardrobe that has some color and isn't all black, white and gray!
As someone who loves the idea of capsule wardrobes but lacks money to actually go and buy clothes, the idea of modules really appeals to me.

99% of my wardrobe is used. I love using Thredup, Poshmark, Closet Mentor, and Plato’s closet for name brands for pretty cheap compared to retail!
FINALLY! A video that actually explains the system to put together a capsule wardrobe instead of just girls showing their CW without any clues on how to get there!! 😍😍🙌🏽🙌🏽 Gonna binge on your vids later today!! THANK YOU!!
SO helpful! "Buy clothes and accessories that go well together". Now who would have thought of that?
Ummmm... AMEN🤔🤣
I haven’t heard it broken down this way and I absolutely love.
Same here. Sounds brilliant love it
I have seen maybe 100 capsule wardrobe videos and this is honestly the only one that made any kind of sense. LOL THANK YOU! Will definitely apply the tips you've given here :)
Yes as a mom heading back to work the "module concept" makes a lot of sense. I can appreciate this video.
I have to say this was the MOST helpful video on capsule wardrobes I have ever watched. After all the reading I had done, I felt so overwhelmed by this task of picking just "one style forever".

Also I wear a lot of neutrals and when I get bored I just slap a red lipstick on. That's my tip :)
Losshe This is great!
I use My Closet and love it!
I use My Closet also. Love that app!! I was thinking the same thing when she said take a picture of your collection.
I use Stylebook and loving it
Ooo it’s like Cher from clueless
I've been wanting to work on a capsule wardrobe, but I get overwhelmed and can't make decisions. Making modules sounds so much easier! Thank you for showing up in my video feed. I think I can do 6 pieces. I hope.....
I am addicted to capsule wardrobe videos. I think i've seen them all. But no one explained it this way! Gonna try it today. Thank youu
Best capsule video ever! I LOVE color. Those black/ white/ gray videos just frustrate me.

Thank you for clearly explaining this. I struggle with style, well anything beyond jeans and a t-shirt atleast. With my husband and I having both lost a serious amount of weight, your advice will help keep us from breaking the bank or buying pieces we dont need. Thank you so much.
Finally i found someone who says colour and capaule wardrobe in one sentence 😍. Thank you!!
Wow! Love the "module"concept!
12 outfits from one module, would work for travel for 10 day trip!!
May have to try it when I go to Europe next year.
Such a pick me up on this snowy day❄❄tired from shoveling, more to do tomorrow..
Thanks , Christie!!
-Reggie in NY
Yes! They are wonderful for putting together a packing list! xo
This made me feel a lot more clear when approaching a capsule wardrobe in 2019! I love the insight thank you for sharing :)
I've been struggling all year to put together a capsule. It's overwhelming to try and match everything with everything. MODULES are BRILLIANT! It was the missing piece of the puzzle. So glad I found your channel xo

I love the Canadian 'Abooot'. Canada is so beautiful, and its people are so warm, polite and friendly!
This is the BEST capsule wardrobe 101 I’ve ever found!! Thank you x1000

At last! Someone who actually explains were to START with building a module wardrobe 😊 Thank you, this really helps me 🌹
Well Done!

I love the idea of thinking about wardrobes as collections of modules!! I haven't encountered that before and it's brilliant
I almost skipped this video. This is the best fashion advice of all time. The fashion "aha" moment. You have saved valuable time, mental energy and money!!!!!! THANK YOU! GOD BLESS!
Love. This is by far the best advice I've found on pairing down your closet and making sure you live pieces you own. New sub!
Happy to have you in the community! 💗
I watched this video two times with pausing, and i made my modules, thank you! this is the BEST
This was what I was looking for!! I use the shutdown these days to declutter and organize my closet. I use the App my closet as well. It's very helpful. But I struggled a bit with tips like: These basics you def need" I have a part time Office Job (casual) , 4 Teens and am always on my bike. I love to run, walk, skate. I have very few options to go out and dress up. So I def need funktional pieces, sporty tops, blouses and jumpers, which also work in the office. So Good, that you said to consider the Lifestyle first!! And I loooove colorful /Statement pieces.
So good to hear, that I can still havea capsule closet 😀😍🌹
Watching this video has completely changed the way I shop, I can finally see what my personal style is, and shopping isn’t just ohh this is cute but would I wear it. Thank you so much!
Modules = 🤯. I've tried capsule wardrobes but this approach absolutely brilliant! 🤗❣
Hi Christie, I am totally blown away by how well you’ve explained the mechanics behind building capsule wardrobes. As someone who has pretty serious body image issues, I tend to only feel good in very few, selected pieces. I’d wear my favorite 2 outfits in a row and find myself having nothing to wear on the third day. Thank you for making this video. It gave me so much inspiration that I’m very excited to get out and build me some modules!
First time on your channel and girl, you’ve definitely gotten a new subscriber
I’m so happy you enjoyed it! Welcome to the community! 💖
Hey, could you please add French caption? My mum and sister definitely need to watch your video but they don't speak English.
Thank you so much for your simple and straight to the point video. Your advices are exactly what I was looking for and needed. I have tones of clothes, never know what to wear, have no style and I am embracing a minimalist lifestyle. Your fantastic video will help me with all of that 😊
The module is the most useful concept I've heard hands down.
This is the best capsule wardrobe video I've seen.
I see capsule wardrobes all the time but I never really understood how to make it happen. Thanks k you so much. I am so excited because I'm pretty sure I already have at least a module or two in my closet and I can't wait to build from that
I don’t plan on making a capsule wardrobe right now, but for when I go off to university. I’ll have my capsule wardrobe at my dorm for the week, and the rest of my clothes at home for the weekend.
I got on Pinterest and looked up casual outfits because I wear basically all casual looks. Anyhoo, I saved all the outfit pix I liked into a ‘clothing’ section. Then when I can’t decide what to wear, I go back to my pinspirations and pull the closest pieces I have in my closet based on the pic.
This is the first how to create a capsule wardrobe video I've watched and I've just realised the only one I need to watch. Thankgod. What seemed a total mystery to me now makes perfect sense and I don't have to watch the ten videos I lined up on my playlist. Thankyou so much 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I created my first module this week as a result of watching this video . Thank you !!!!
Watching in 2021. One of my favorite capsule wardrobe videos by far!
This video was THE most helpful capsule wardrobe video.
I swear, this is the most helpful video on capsule wardrobe that I've watched so far
Love your videos! I am now..at 67 going to create a capsule wardrobe! Wish me luck!
You look like you have fabulous taste.
This is one of the BEST capsule wardrobe videos I have seen! Makes total sense and great to follow! Thanks
Best capsule wardrobe explanation that I have heard. I enjoy incorporating prints into my look sometimes.
Just discovered your channel! I love these capsule wardrobe tips. What's great is that I can start with what I have. I can't wait to try it out.
Your capsule wardrobe method makes so much more sense than project 333 because it's a true system. Great work!
Christie-Thank you for breaking this down, I have tried capsule wardrobes without much success. It seems so so obvious (mindblown) now that I hear it, but I have SAHM-wear, Clean and tidy the yard-wear, Home improvement-wear, Out with friends/Date-night-wear, Workwear, special occasion-wear (weddings and funerals) and sportswear etc. It is no wonder that I felt like pairing down wasn't working, because it really only gave me a very stylized sliver of the actual life I lead (attempting to be stylish while painting the kitchen or cleaning the toilet isn't really worth a blog post-LOL) but it wasn't clicking when I was looking at the outfit combos I was seeing online. All I can say is my daughter would be telling me: DUH, mom! right now if she were here! Thanks for snapping me out of it!!! I especially love that my modules can be based on any number of bottoms to start and then add the proportionate number of tops.....
This is so useful! Why aren’t we all taught more about this from a younger age?! Please keep making these videos Christie!! Thank you!
Right!? We should be! xo
Best capsule wardrobe video EVER! The module approach really makes sense - it’s given me something tangible that I can work with. Thanks so much for the brilliant advice!
The easiest and best way to explain capsule wardrobe! Thank you 💖 love the video 😀
Still one of the best Capsule Wardrobe videos ever
This is easier to follow than most I am enjoying watching this.
You explain this so well! As an expectant mom, I'd love to see a maternity styling video some time. Budget-friendly finds would be great, since you only wear those clothes for a short time.
I can do something like that in future for sure!
Yes please! I second her request. I’m pregnant of my third and would love some ideas. Don’t wait too long though 🤣
Ok second comment here! Lol but I had to stop the video to tell you how awesome your tips are! Because you and I have VERY different personal style (color, patterns, esthetic ) and your tips still work so well for me and my personal style! You can tell you know what you're doing!
Thank-you! Yes, that's the beauty of style -- we're all different! It's so important that we're all able to create styles we love (and still get the versatility we crave). I'm all about that with my clients. xo
Asap I'd love to book with you!
I'd be honoured! I have online style services listed on my website if you ever feel it's a good fit. xo
you are the first ever stylist who spoke my heart... I always had a question, how could a fashion or fitness models wardrobe video work for me... i always though it was useless.... this video indeed is not useless.... it speaks my heart.
I love, love, love accsesories! I can't imagine an outfit without them! They are the icing on the cake :)
This is probably the most useful advice I have come through, especially building module. Most vids just introduce pieces or just very general advice.
I've only ever had a minimalist capsule wardrobe because I love 'basics', but these videos are just calm to watch.
I just replayed this for the third time- I love your delivery and how you absolutely LAID DOWN THE FORMULA
So glad it was helpful!
Christie, I’ve never heard a capsule wardrobe described this way but it’s a wonderful way to shop your existing clothes and figure out what you still need and what’s got to go! Thanks for the video!
I am watching this having just discovered that my husband's and my entire spring/summer wardrobe was ruined by a flooded basement! Bang for buck is the name of the game, so THANK YOU for putting this together (even though it was a while ago). ❤️
I really appreciate that you mention that we should look at our day and find what fits best for us/our lifestyle. Great ideas, thank you for the video!
This is the first time that i hear someone explaining this topic that clear and simple
Thank you soooo much for sharing.i have absolutely nothing to wear and I found that I don’t like my clothes. I’m new to this, I am turning 21 soon and come from a wardrobe full of very colorful childish and plain clothes. So I got rid of everything I can’t match with other new items so it encourages me to put together a more mature clothing with a capsule wardrobe.
I love how you say it could be this or that for the modules rather than these are your basic wardrobe must-haves. Quite frankly, a lot of capsule wardrobe can be a little bit daunting and disheartening especially for someone who lives in a hot and humid climate. We only have two seasons, that's hot and rainy season, with a short cool weather from December to February. The only time I can layer clothing is when we're going to airconditioned buildings/facilities or during those cool weather months. I figured having more sleeveless and breathable tops or dresses, and maybe good shorts, skirts will allow for maybe a light layering outer pieces like light blazer, light cardigans, vests, or even a loose jean jacket. I'll definitely try to incorporate your tips in to building my wardrobe.
Best explanation ever. THANK YOU!!!
Even though I am not new to styling videos and I've found my personal style a long time ago, I found this video to be super informative and helpful. Your idea of modules is what I have been missing all of this time. Thank you so much!
This is brilliant... one of the most helpful videos I think I've ever seen. I need a closet purge and shopping trip now!
Love this woman. Smart, sassy and she is an awesome teacher!!
I saw the first 10 seconds of the video and instantly subscribed. This is exactly what i needed. Thank you. And yes, finally someone tells about a colourful capsule wardrobe and not just neutrals. 👍🏼💫
Thanks for telling me I don't have to get rid of everything but 30ish items to make a capsule wardrobe. I love my closet but always ended up wearing the plainest outfits out for fear of clashing items. Plus, it's not stretched out - under fifteen minutes. Thank you so much
I would have paid big money for someone to teach me the module concept! That's it - I"m done. I totally get it. This season will be my second capsule wardrobe - last season changed the game for me forever. This time it will be much simpler because I have the module formula. Thank you so much - you've genuinely added so much value right here!!!
So happy you enjoyed it!
I love this video so much. I've been re-watching it for years! 😍
I love the module idea. That and the fact that you use prints and colors makes this one of my favorite capsule wardrobe videos. I also love seeing a more adult wardrobe, since many capsule wardrobes are super casual and neutral.
OMGG THANK U SMMM THIS HELPS SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST BEING BORINGGG ILYYY alsooo sumthin id say is change ur hair around it can change ur outfit smmm and also if somthing doesnt rlly fit in ur style any more 👏 fix 👏 it 👏 by that i mean like maybe ctop it make it tighter change somthinggg u never know how much it helps and its pretty much freeeeee thank u sm btw
And layering ur clothes in diff ways rllly helps
To summarize: Buy pieces that will work with items you already have. I've been doing this for years. Great video!
I love the module idea - I feel like this is what I've seen in several 'how to pack light to travel' videos without the presenters breaking it down so clearly as you do. I'm the opposite of a minimalist, but I'm going to try your approach the next time I travel anywhere!
Glad it was helpful! I'm not a minimalist either, but use this to build my closet strategically.
Absolutely love this vlog, never heard of how to do a capsule wardrobe ever before, and I’ve learned so much about modules from you, I’m going to do it and start from one module then do two and so on, I’ll also start photographing pictures of me in outfits to start to visulize these outfits before I go to the wardrobe in the morning, so grateful of your comments and help, what an amazing vlog luv luv luv xxxxx😁😂🤣
I’ve watched like 100 videos and this was BY FAR the most help. Especially since it has color!
I’ve seen this video 3 or 4 times. The first time was 3 years ago. It’s very good 👌🏼
This is such a great video! I love colour and prints and until now I’ve felt that a capsule wardrobe wasn’t for me but this module approach makes it seem possible! 💕
I’ve been obsessed with capsule wardrobes for over a year, but honestly it’s been a struggle because no matter what I came up with, it never seemed to actually fit together. The idea of modules is so what I needed to hear!! Thank you - I’m going to go clean up my closet now 👌🏼💕
I am not a traditional girl that loves clothes but I do recognize that i have too much and some just dont go together. I had started thinking of a capsule wardrobe and now i come across the video that is actually explained so i can understand. this makes me more confident that i can sort myself out.
Oh my goodness. This video has a new tip that i have not heard before! The modules within a capsule wardrobe. This is fantastic!! I started cleaning out my closet and buying a few basic pieces that I was missing, but still seem to struggle. I think this concept of the modules and how you go about creating the modules is going to push me further in my quest for effortless dressing! Thank you so much!
Mind blown! This is my problem! Omg, I needed this. I will definitely look at my whole wardrobe when the school starts again (student at university).
Your hair is stunning this color and I cannot take my eyes off your face. It totally makes your eyes pop. I am totally re-thinking my color. Capsule wardrobes are a great way to go. Would you consider doing a video on lipsticks and showing which colors for which seasons?
What a wonderful approach to building a capsule wardrobe: begin with MODULES! Great video.
BEST capsule wardrobe video!! TY!
Thank you for explaining color and prints as well as different activities throughout the week! I love "loud" clothes but am trying to downsize my wardrobe. At one point last year, I accidentally created a capsule wardrobe in my suitcase and happily lived out of it for a month and a half, which made me see that I don't need nearly so many clothes. However, it has been a little tricky since I have so many different interests that require different kinds of clothes, plus my own natural love of color and prints that tends to bog me down. I think this video will really help me make significant progress with simplifying! Thank you!!!
So happy you found it helpful! Modules really make such a difference!
Having seen a few youtubes re capsule wardrobes, I was still perplexed about the concept and how to put it into action in my closet. This video is what "lit the lightbulb" (finally) in my head. The concept of modules is genius and made all the difference. Thank you for your inspiration, creativity and savvy style sense Christie! I always walk away having learned something valuable, applicable and new after watching your videos. I feel uplifted knowing that I am not the only one out there with need for some "closet remedies," and your expertise is exactly what gives me that booster shot of confidence that I can do it!
Question: are some hangers better than others? I see a lot of variations out in the market place from velvet grip to thick plastic ones. Granted, some are better for "air drying" clothes than others and some are thinner to optimize closet space, but overall, is there a "best of the best" hanger out there? Keep up the great work! Style on!
So happy you enjoyed it and learnt something new!
For hangers, I personally love the velvet ones as nothing slips on them and they're quite thing so they don't take up too much room. xo
