The 15 pieces that I put together in this particular capsule wardrobe amounted, before tax, to $299. However, shoes were the most expensive part of it. One of the things that I thought about when I put together this collection was that a lot of you will already have many of those pieces. You already have jeans. I’m sure you have a white t-shirt. I’m sure you have Keds kicking around. Just adding a few of the things that I selected here will help you to build your capsule wardrobe. An important thing to do is to edit your closet. Go ahead and find some of the things that you do have that will work. Know what you’ve already have, so you are able to go ahead and start adding to it and create more outfits. But if you had $20 to 40 a month to spend on yourself, you can strategically put together a good wardrobe over time that would work for you. Many of the pieces are under $20, so you can do two pieces a month, and build your wardrobe pretty quickly, especially if you already have some pieces that will work! For instance, maybe you already have some denim jeans that aren’t dark denim, but in the meantime wear regular denim.
