What Made Me Give Up on Capsule Wardrobe
where are the nude heels from? are they comfortable?
These are Nine West, and they are not super comfortable but I sit a lot at work…
Love those burgundy wide leg pants in the bodysuit segment. Are those merino?
Thank you! I hate to admit it, these are a thrifted pair of polyester trousers. I only wear them in cold weather because they are not at all breathable..
@@alexandratheaverage They look fantastic on you! I thought that they might be the Sezane Matthew Trousers, which I have been pining after but I haven't purchased for fear that they will be far too long on my short 5'2" self and short inseam. =(
As someone who has tried on a lot of Sezene trousers, they are meant for taller women (I’m 5’3) I would say each pair of deserves to be seen by a fantastic tailor! I will admit that those trousers have been a tossup because some of them aren’t lined and they are very itchy… if you get a pair, I get a pair that is lined and get them tailored!
Good lord that black dress oh no too short I would not be able to bend over in that and with a slit too much those short dresses and skirts and no bra wearing these young women are wearing these days does not say classy and confident it says I’m desperate for attention and have a poor self esteem and absolutely no respect for my body IMHO even with flats and more of a modest top piece layering still not changing the fact you got a skirt or dress that is up to your butt practically yes some guys will love that for a night but not planning on taking you home to mamma or putting a ring on it…and so many would agree with me keep it classy not trashy 🤦♀️
Great job on your video and mentioning that some people will only be able to afford Quince’s cashmere. They too may be trying to buy the best they can afford so they can own good pieces for a while. Love that you mentioned that. Yes, there are better quality items elsewhere but this is still a great site for those looking for nice stuff. Well done!
Thank you!! I think it’s a great brand to build a wardrobe with great quality without going into debt. I am not in a space to spend hundreds of dollars on a single sweater 😅 Thank you for watching and your kind words!
💕
I agree that the capsule wardrobe will cost more as you use the limited items so frequently. They are probably good for work in a corporate setting but they aren’t for most people. I do think that items such as black cashmere roll necks, trench coats and Oxford shirts look as good as they always have but yes a lot of styles do date. Can I ask which lip colour that is, I am really looking for a similar colour 😊.
Anyone else go to find the insole video? Please share, I can’t find it.
Wow those are all such stunning pieces and have given me so much inspo
wool for the win ❤
Agreed!!
I use a chambray shirt constantly
I love that it works for you!! I have never felt like I can confidently rock it
I agree with you on the white button up! I would never reach for it
Yes, shoe tips
It's now on my list!
Another awesome video, as always. Some great tips here and I love that you were very clear that this list may not work for everyone. For example, I am not a white tee girl (they never look good on me), but a black tee is essential for me. And I prefer pencil skirts to trousers because of my body shape (short but curvy (yay for being 5’4” lol)). But I’m with you on the jeans!! Bootcut and straight leg all the way 😁
Thank you!! I always feel like a black tee can make me look sillier than a white tee, it says a lot about individualism! Bootcut jeans are forever! Thanks for watching!
I’ve only just started and literally a few minutes ago I was thinking that I need to invest in some new white t-shirts! 😂
Girl I am HERE FOR YOU!
I’ve learned- if you’re intrigued by capsule wardrobes, try one out! But just store the rest of your wardrobe- don’t declutter! You’ll inevitably come back to your full wardrobe to re work your capsule as seasons change / you get bored. Gives you the benefits of capsule wardrobe without the commitment or the potential for relapse
I love this idea! Normally the first piece of advice is "throw it all out!" which is not going to work for everyone!!
Your opinion is refreshing. One (two) of the things I don't get about typical capsule wardrobes as portrayed in the media is how they don't account for laundry and temperature regulation. I live in a four seasons in a day kind of city and I only do laundry once a week. So I need at least 7 tops for each temperature/seasonal range. I have 50 items in my main capsule plus a lot of thermal/underlayer pieces !
Thank you!! I was just in New York and it was so different than California weather wise, I feel like you would need four different tops of coats!
I think people have not realized that a capsule wardrobe is not just about how pieces interact on a fashion level but also lifestyle, care, and skill level. If I need a new piece (rare) it has to do a few things. It’s usually in a color that suits the rest of my clothing. 1. Those colors suit me and 2. They can all be laundered together. I tend to test for crocking. A damp white handkerchief shouldn’t change color when you rub it on the item. I have very few pieces in my wardrobe that are white but those that are are a natural fiber because those tend to release difficult stains more easily or at least can withstand what’s needed to get rid of stains. If they’re beyond hope natural fiber takes dye more readily. I buy clothes that feel substantial. They’re heavier weight and will wear better both from a fashion perspective and longevity perspective. Thin fabric both shows off panty lines and develops holes. Check for good construction. Loose threads or buttons are an immediate skip. Dry clean only is generally a skip unless I’m familiar enough with the fabric to know that handwashing is fine. I don’t buy delicate clothing because I’m active and have animals and land to care for. That doesn’t mean I don’t do pretty. Some of my workhorse pieces are heavy weight knit cotton embroidered dresses. They release stains well, don’t rip if caught on something and stretch enough to accommodate weight changes.
I wish there was more high quality clothing that people knew of! I am still searching myself. I think this is a great way to look at it! I feel like even a few amazing pieces might not fully sustain me and my desire to experiment (hence why I rent). Thank you for a very thoughtful response!
I am full of your Opinion! I ever asked me how to live with only a few shirts.
even if your clothes were timeless, your weight will most likely and your proportions will definitely change with time. Clothes peel and loose their form, white becomes grey and gets sweat stains,... you'll never be done.
I know! I had so many clothes I have loved that I don't wear because they don't fit. I think there can be a healthy balance.
Curious about the renting aspect, how do you do that?
I do Rent the Runway, but tried Nuuly before!
@@alexandratheaverage thanks!
I looooove that you start your video straight away with your tips!🤩 THANK YOU! Also I like your advice. 😊
Thank YOU for watching!
I believe the foundation is your personal style. When you start looking individually at the capsule wardrobe (not this beige/gray/blue/old money stuff) with pieces adjusted to you, not otherwise, you will be more excited about your wardrobe. And with the new pieces you can build on top of that, still having the clothes that you don't think about how to style because everything matches. Personally, I believe there are timeless pieces and cuts that will look stylish forever. Not things usually being on trend though.
I think that is true! I think there should be more focus on individualism in comparison to just a capsule. Personal style should be the first thing we are thinking of when we shop!
I've always seen capsule wardrobes as something perfect for a vacation, meaning a short amount of time in the same climate. They don't hold up over longer periods of time, because of temperature changes, special events and your personal preferences changing. Also, a small amount of clothes will be worn more often, meaning the clothes are worn off faster and need to be replaced more often.
Agreed! There are things that should last a long time, but I think capsules for everyday are not pragmatic enough.
Very interesting topic. I’ve been playing with a capsule wardrobe (both summer and fall) which I’ve made videos about and as a fashion designer I find it challenging to just stick to those few things. Inevitably I work all my other clothes back into the rotation(and I have a mid-size closet- actually too many things tbh 😂) I’m also petite (I believe you are too), but I’ve got lots of curves which makes dressing so much more challenging. I’m going to follow your channel and watch with great curiosity 😊
I have JUST subscribed! I am excited for your content!
@ thank you!
I like the idea of having a wardrobe formula, not a capsule. When I worked in an office, I had three black pencil skirts, five black tanks, and an assortment of cardigans to mix and match. It worked for my office setting and made getting dressed for work very easy. In my personal time, I wore (and still wear) graphic tees, jeans, cute jackets, etc. so I could still play with my clothes and feel good about what I was wearing. As for trends, I have always been a bootcut jeans person so I love that it’s come back around! I never stopped wearing them 😊
That is a great way to think about it! Bootcut jeans are forever. I have had the same stretchy pair for years and no one can take them away from me!
Skirt info please
I have the 100% yak wool sweater but it’s not as soft as I expected which is not disappointing but I’m just wondering if it’s less soft than cashmere?
Bummer! I have both a yak wool and a cashmere sweater from them, I find the cashmere softer but not by much. If your skin gets irritated, I would recommend their cotton sweaters!
This video couldn’t have appeared at the perfect time! I had an Amazon cart full of skims dupes and was about to check out😅
Its fate!
Mornings can be as magical as GoldenHour, really <3
Can you talk more about that wool trouser that you got “slightly too big but tailored”? I’ve been trying to find that perfect tailored pant for a while…

Thank you for all the awesome content! I love your videos! Do you mind sharing what you ask for when getting your haircut?
Thank you for watching!! I ask for long face framing layers that work well with hot rollers and blow outs 😊
@alexandratheaverage thank you!! 🤍
I am naturally brunette and got my hair coloured blonde as a teenager. I bleached my eyebrows and they turned orange 😂. Brunette looks great on you 😊
The challenge is finding good quality pieces that are also stylish. Nordstrom was my go-to in the northeast but here in the southwest, I feel like my options are a little more limited.
It's the BIGGEST challenge! I feel like I could not even name brands because there is no such thing as a brand that is consistently good.

Great great video, keep it up. ❤
Thanks for watching!
Another great video 😊. I really cannot stand Shein and the like because you are right, a lot of people can afford more or there are other options. Shein, Boohoo, Pretty Little Thing are horrendously for human rights and it’s not like that’s not known about. The Amazon dupes videos are tacky and feel like content creators are desperate. Dupes are linked to people trafficking and it hikes the prices up for normal people. The Outnet is a good shout actually and there are permanent promotions on various fashion websites these days. Amazon is lazy and it’s depressing people don’t care about people getting a fair salary.
Well said! I think that influencers that push amazon dupes or filling your closet without thinking of the audience is actually quite irresponsible.... You are (as always) fantastic!
@@alexandratheaverage Aww thank you. I have subscribed 😊
You've turned into one of my favorite youtubers because you've given me the most realistic advice for managing my fashion and I don't feel like you're trying to sell me something. It feels honest and genuine, thanks for taking the time to make these videos. I'm so thankful to have found your videos.
She is a favourite of mine, really good advice and not remotely fake or obnoxious. I can’t stand it when I feel like I watch a video like it’s an infomercial.
This made me so happy to hear!! Thank you so much!! I hope to continue to bring value to you and your closet.
Can you share how the pieces you kept have held up over time?
That is a great video idea!
Alexandra! I love your videos and tips! A recc for future videos, the background music was muting out your voice 🥹
Kathrine!! Thank you for watching and I will absolutely make sure to lower the music volume. Thank you for the feedback!
Love this brand!
Me too!! You have great taste!
Nice!!! Love it!!!
Thank you!
Girlies with big bums know that nothing is scarier than low rise jeans
be so fr those are NOT low rise 💀
Paying attention to fabrics has been the best thing I ever did for my auDHD and sensory issues. Cotton is definitely becoming my favorite. Cozy Earth's bamboo clothes have the best weight, drape, and feel to them.
OOOOO I am going to check that out, thank you!
I'm not adhd (that I know of) but I do have bipolar and all of this applies to me as well, although more episodically. Excellent tips and ideas. Sensory issues are a perma thing though, I am awaiting an autism assessment ...

Thank you for this video - literally going through this process right now!
