CREATIVE CAPSULE WARDROBE Edgy Classic | Boho Chic
Here's a look at my October Capsule Wardrobe inspired by Dia de los Muertos, Halloween fun, and Rock Concerts (plus plenty of Work from Home looks too!) I'm a WFH mom who likes to mix classics and basics with more edgy, playful clothes. In honor of "Rocktober" I put together a very unique and fun capsule this month with several statement pieces. I always love vintage, thrifted, and boho style. Skulls, leopard print, cartoons, and fine art all play a part in this colorful capsule wardrobe! With only 17 pieces I was amazed how versatile this clothing collection is. I lost count of the outfit combinations shown in this video and there are many more possibilities!
I'm all about exploring creativity for happiness, and one way to do that is creating capsule wardrobes that encourage you to use the clothes you already own in new and interesting ways.
Your creative gift has value! Thanks for watching.

    • @amydillardGypsySoul
      @amydillardGypsySoul Місяць тому

      I think it will look a little different than the other fabric because the texture will be different. But the paint will probably stick if you don't water it down too much on that part. Maybe do the arms in a coordinating color so it's okay that they don't match exactly? Good luck!

    Pretty good? Who wants "pretty good" for their paint? I want consistent, high quality paint. Is Waverly that kind of paint, or just pretty good? I'm a beginner and really need to know what's best. Thank you for clarifying. I appreciate your work. And someday I hope to be as good as you are. Thanks again.

    • @amydillardGypsySoul
      @amydillardGypsySoul 4 місяці тому

      Hey- thanks for the comment! Chalk Paint can get quite expensive, so when I said Waverly is pretty good, I guess I mean it's a good value. The quality is high-medium and the price is relatively low. Plus it's easier to find than some smaller brands. I think the gold standard is Annie Sloan chalk paint, the originator, but it is significantly more expensive and may be harder to source depending on where you live. Viewers have varying goals and budgets they are able to work within. Hope that helps you find what's perfect for you. Happy painting!!

      Painting spindles I usually prefer a brush that's rounded on top like a chalk paint brush or a narrow rounded brush made by Zibra (you can find them at stores like Home Depot.) It helps me get more paint where I want it, but painting spindles is still rather tedious because you really do have to paint from all 4 sides to make sure you aren't missing spots. Hope this helps!

Location is definitely the key to secess or failure in my mind. I probably walked 25 malls many times. I think I walked the mall I decided with 15 times before I moved in. I waited out for a very good window booth.
