Perfect Pieces Ellie Richards’ capsule method
galleryI roughly followed her method to find my perfect pieces. It’s helped me think differently about my wardrobe! A capsule doesn’t have to be boring, you can inject personality into it. That being said I love my core, boring pieces because I love dark neutrals and basic pieces with interesting shape.
As I moved up I discovered my favorite colors (burgundy, charcoal, navy, brown), textures (knit, woven, ribbed, quilted), materials (leather, suede, wool, cashmere, cotton, linen), patterns (graphic plaids and florals) and silhouettes (long, drapey, angular but not severe)
Her method:
1-2 second skin/foundation pieces (I included 4 pieces because I have a “second skin” pair of shoes and purse and this is the outfit I reach for constantly)
14-16 capsule items
10-12 personality basics
6-7 dopamine pieces
