Build the BEST Capsule Wardrobe! - How I built my mostly thrifted Capsule Collection

I love that phrase, TOUCH CLOTHES! visually i can identify wool, silk but next time im in the thrift stores i will just TOUCH!!

I have had a capsule wardrobe since 2005. I find the key is knowing yourself & your personal style. That allows you to feel like you, be more creative with fewer pieces and feel put together....

I’m so glad I found your channel. You’re so comfortable on camera, it’s just like time w a friend.

In the early 80s I remember having skinny jeans, in fact I stitched up my pant legs to make them even skinnier. So, I think they will come back, although I only wear them now to wear with my knee high boots.

TOUCH!!!! I just found my son a gorgeous in great shape vintage 100% cashmere winter long coat! So excited!!! $11🤭

Don’t pet the clothing! That gave me a flashback to a vintage commercial. Don’t squeeze the Charmin! I have totally stopped in my tracks for a thrift find based on running through a rack with mostly touch. And THAT is the best kind of score! Thanks for the awesome tips!

I touch everything!! I thrifted a pima cotton Lily Pulitzer blue and white striped top with a gold toned button keyhole closure for $5. It's is a classic and so soft. Also, I found a grandpa style grey and black color block cashmere cardigan with jewel buttons for $8. My Banana Republic lambs leather trench is my hero piece.

It's my birthday today, so thank you for the unintentional birthday present in the form of an advice video!

I also am a grey lady. Lots of grey and then lots of cool pastel colors. Suits my light Norwegian skin tone and everything is east to mix and match.

Thank you for this video !! I have definitely developed my capsule wardrobe based on my current lifestyle fabrics that feel comfortable to me I only except those into my wardrobe, soft cotton’s cashmere silk and neck lines that look flattering and do not choke me. It took a long time for me to figure out the exact silhouettes that looked the most flattering and felt the most comfortable and I do not care about trends anymore. I usually stick with black, white and gray with pops of blue or red silver tone, jewelry mixed with a bit of gold and usually a 90s minimalist vibe with a twist of romanticism and may be a little bit goth and streetwear edge It really depends on how I’m feeling but I pretty much do not care about what is trending or micro trending since it will change in point five seconds flat!! Love this video. Thank you for all your effort. Hope you’re doing well in your new home.🖤🖤

You make me want to revamp my whole closet and pick only the stuff I love. This video was super helpful!! Thank you!!❤

That was a great video, love the guidelines and personal examples. I now (discreetly) touch clothing especially when it’s the sweater or tee shirt section, helps with the time factor. Found a Burberry tee just by the feel in a sea of grey tee shirts at Salvation Army

I agree 👍, great video.

Good advice. And I agree with it mostly. I do, however, find that high-waisted slim (not the Rag and Bone low waisted skinny ones) are best for me. I have been buying them for years from LL Bean, and they are excellent quality. They aren't true 'skinnies,' but the leg is definitely tapered. And I will wear them forever.

I like the look of a satin slip skirt with a chunky sweater on top. That would be a micro trend to me. Not sure how long it will last. Very helpful video!!!!

Thank you

I like learning what the trends are, but not every trend suits every person, and it can become an obsession and pressure to keep up. When people where what they’re comfortable in and suits them, that’s automatically stylish. Like you said, focus on quality, and I always check the material composition. I’ll stick with skinny jeans, though - mine are good quality (lasted years so far!), and they suit my shape far better than high waisted and wide ones (I’m short, a little tubby, and have a short torso).

I used to have safety pins all down the front of my pant legs in the late 80s to make them skinny

I'm sure it's probably vintage, but who made that fabulous green utility jumpsuit? I love the weight and how it hangs on you.

Pet the clothes at the thrift store and tell people Laura told me to do it
