K: I am down with the concept of the capsule wardrobe and all, but I think this girl might be kind of an a-hole.
A: Her outfits make me want to punch her in the face.
K: Right? I totaled it up and it is about $2000 worth of clothes, before we ever get to accessories.
A: Oh holy shit. I do like her silver boots. And her little mop dog.
K: Yes, but maybe with different clothes? The whole thing makes me feel like I just do not get "fashion" anymore.
A: Yeah, no. Her outfits are weird. Here she's wearing that dress as a skirt. Where are the straps?
K: Maybe bunched up under the blouse? Who knows?
A: Is bullshit.
K: Total bullshit :)
A: I do like the concept though.
K: Me too. I basically wear the same couple of things all the time anyway, this would just give me an excuse for it. Like - "no, I'm not just wearing the same dirty jeans that I was wearing yesterday, this is my capsule wardrobe.”
A: RIGHT. IT'S FASHION.
K: Yes - totally legitimate, someone gave a TED talk about it.
A: That means it's a real thing, for sure. I should do this as a blog challenge. It would be hilarious.
K: You totally should.

Question for the readers: Is anyone interested in the travesty that would be my two week micro wardrobe challenge?
Here's my vote for your 2-week micro wardrobe challenge!
ReplyDeleteAlso, are culottes really back? They've been creeping back in for a season or two. I'm not ready for that.
Please do the challenge, if only because I'd like to see it done with a wardrobe that isn't overrun with culottes.
ReplyDeleteCULOTTES.
Those silver boots were fire, though.
HELL YES!
ReplyDeletePlease do it!
ReplyDeleteI don't even own culottes, you guys!
ReplyDeleteI think sequined joggers would fulfill the same sensible-fashion-blogger-goes-to-work clothing option role.
DeleteI vote yes.
ReplyDelete(First time commenter, about which I feel bad because I really enjoy reading your posts and usually end up snapping up your suggestions, all SWF here in OH.)
omg please do it!
ReplyDeleteTotes.
ReplyDeleteDoes it surprise you that I like her outfits? It doesn't, does it.
ReplyDeleteIt does not. But you know I'm a slow-adapter. Culottes 2018!!
ReplyDeleteIf they worked on my body type I'd wear them in a hot second. I love all of these!
DeleteI like her shoes! And the jeans. And her hair. I might just be jealous.
DeleteI would totally read that, if only because I read anything you post because I like your writing. Also I wear the same stuff all the time so maybe inspiration?
ReplyDeleteHuh, I do this already. I wear business casual to work and jeans any other time. Also my main wardrobe colors are blue, black, grey, and green. Maybe 1 or 2 purple shirts and 1 red shirt. I should send you a pic of my closet. It is SUPER boring! I have a shit ton of accessories that I do not wear because I wear the same rings and bracelets and necklace everyday. But you have much prettier blouses so I would love to see you play around for 2 weeks!
ReplyDeleteYez plz. For ourz entertainment.
ReplyDeleteLuv lolzcatz.
Hilariouz.
DeleteI would totally read your micro capsule thoughts!
ReplyDeleteDoes she live in California? Otherwise, I'd like to see those silver boots after a walk through winter slush.
ReplyDeleteA few of the photos look like modernized versions of Friends outfits, which is new again obvs. in a minimalist sort of way. My favorite thing about those photos is the lurking dog in the background. I love a showboating-photobombing pet.
I think capsule wardrobes and "uniform" dressing is interesting! But I think a month is not a long time to do it unless you limit yourself to like five items. ;) I'm thinking of getting myself a uniform anyway. Just the types of clothes I like best in a few variations, on a similar colour scheme for mixing and matching, and then never worrying again. Trouble is of course that I can never seem to find the stuff I want in shops.
ReplyDeleteA month? Ain't doing no month.
DeleteYes to micro capsule. No to culottes
ReplyDeleteTotally interested in the 2 week challenge!
