An investment piece may only cost you $20 if that’s the item that genuinely fits you best and serves the quality you can re-wear. But I am saying you should consider your most worn items, and invest accordingly. I’m not saying you need to spend $400 on a T-shirt. The design itself will work into current fashion trends longer. Luxury fashion also tends to be more timeless. A luxury T-shirt is made with a higher level of craftsmanship and materials, and it’s going to wash better than a low-cost T-shirt. But if you wear that t-shirt at least once a week, and it lasts into the next year, your cost per wear could be as low as $5-8 per wear. Spending $400 on a T-shirt is something that’s often mocked in luxury fashion. But in fact, you could have rented the dress, or borrowed one from a friend for little to nothing. We justify it by telling ourselves that we needed it. If you spend $400 on a party dress and wear it once (no matter how long you end up keeping it in your wardrobe), your price per wear was $400. Instead, plan to invest the most money on the simple things. Event clothes, fast fashion trends and impulse buys are all fast ways to deplete your shopping budget. So often, we spend the most on an evening gown we plan to wear to one occasion. Why invest in luxury essential basics – Buying for cost-per-wearīefore we get started, my recommendation on these pieces is always the starting point for wardrobe investment. In this fashion post, we’ll review some key items you should be focusing on in order to have a well-balanced minimalist wardrobe, with enough pieces and variety to keep your looks fresh and updated, without feeling the clutter of extra stuff. You know what those pieces are in your wardrobe. Often the pieces most taken for granted – a worn out pair of blue jeans, a T-shirt we picked up at a thrift store, a basic blouse that’s our only button-down so it get’s worn for ever relevant occasion. These are the pieces that you’ll be rotating throughout your wardrobe in so many different ways. So how to build a capsule wardrobe with fewer pieces without feeling like you’re missing out on anything? Start with your core essential basics.

Thirdly, I can now officially announce to you guys – I’m moving! There has never been a better time to talk about reducing capsule wardrobe essentials. Minimizing is an important step to reducing clutter, saving time, and maximizing on the things that are most important to you. Second of all, one only has so much space in their wardrobe! My value in life is placed on experiences, and surrounding myself with the people I love. Giving back is one way I feel like I can keep that incredible encouragement you provide to me, flowing on to the next person. Why? First of all, I feel beyond blessed to have had the opportunity to share with you guys my inspiration in fashion, travel and life in general. Though life as a fashion blogger has an influx of new fashion pieces arriving to my door on nearly a daily basis, a majority of these items are donated or given to my close friends shortly after arrival. I’ve long been an advocate of less-is-more, especially when it comes to curating an ideal capsule wardrobe.
