here are two things: the excitement i get from buying new clothes is very fleeting, and owning a lot of it doesn't make me feel happy (quite the opposite, actually). add to that my political & environmental values, and it only makes sense that i should craft a capsule wardrobe.

a capsule wardrobe is a collection of a few essential items of clothing that don't go out of fashion and that can then be augmented with seasonal pieces. there are a lot of pros to it, for example:

• it saves time + avoids decision fatigue
• it reduces desire to buy stuff since you already have the basics (fuck consumerism & capitalism)
• the consistency can be comforting
• it incites you to be more creative when you wanna switch things up
• if the pieces are good quality and in neutral colours, they will last you years (good for the planet and your wallet)

doesn't mean you can't have out of capsule & fun pieces
