Do you wish you had more time and energy in the mornings? Maybe you should think about transforming your closet into a capsule wardrobe. Many people are swearing by this method of organization claiming that it saves money, space, and most importantly time.

Capsule Wardrobes are closely related to minimalistic living which has been growing in popularity over the last few years. Minimalists say this simplistic way of living brings joy and peacefulness to their otherwise chaotic daily life. 

How do you create a capsule wardrobe? First, you need to do a complete closet clean-out. Keep only your favorite pieces of clothing that you love to wear. You then need to think about what type of clothing that you’d like to see in your closet that would be worn often. Research and look for quality items that fit your needs. 

A traditional capsule wardrobe consists of 30-50 items that are high-quality, versatile pieces. They are usually in a more classic, timeless style and can be easily mixed and matched. The trick is to go with neutral, classic colors for more versatility. 

Capsule wardrobes can work for everybody! Below, I’ve included essential pieces to add to a petite-style capsule wardrobe. These pieces either have an option for petite sizing, or the regular fit works well for petite sizes.
