Podcast Show Notes
If there’s one thing, we business owners need less of its stress. I share ways to automate your marketing efforts in most episodes, but I want to discuss another stressor… And that’s the stress of your wardrobe. With a busy schedule, you’ll save yourself multiple decisions every day by narrowing your wardrobe down to thoughtfully selected articles in what is called a capsule wardrobe. Inside this article, I share the benefits of starting a color capsule wardrobe, what goes in one, and how to receive a personalized color analysis.
How to reduce your stress levels
If there’s one thing, we business owners need less of its stress. And most of our stress comes in the form of decision-making. Besides what you’re packing inside your kid’s lunches, you are also deciding what to wear, which marketing platforms to show up on today, what you’re going to write in your captions, what clients you’ll follow up with today, and so on.
While I can’t come to your home to make your kid’s lunches, I can help you with other stress areas.
Handling the Stress of your wardrobe
I share ways to automate your marketing efforts in most episodes, but I want to talk about another stressor today. And that’s the stress of your wardrobe.
You open your closet and feel like you have nothing to wear. Maybe you’ve gained weight over the last couple of years, and nothing fits right. And if it does, it’s nothing you’d want to be seen on Instagram wearing.
So you buy a new top or pair of pants as a quick fix, but again, the same feeling comes over you of having nothing to wear next week. You find yourself adding random pieces to your closet that only fuel your “nothing to wear dilemma.”
So let me introduce you to the concept of building a capsule wardrobe to lessen this stress.
Camera-ready Capsules
I’ve mentioned my online Behind Your Brand shop in earlier episodes, where I offer camera-ready rich jewel tone colored tops. I promote creating a capsule just for your work from home wardrobe.
- But what if you took that capsule wardrobe to another level?
- What if you could reduce cost and waste on things you never wear and create one capsule wardrobe for both every day and workdays?
What is a capsule wardrobe?
Well, before I go any further – let me explain what kind of capsule wardrobe I’m referring you to consider starting.
I believe building a capsule wardrobe is about choosing a sensible assortment of clothing that you look great in, love wearing, and are practical and versatile.
With a busy schedule, you’ll save yourself multiple decisions every day by narrowing your wardrobe down to thoughtfully selected articles.
Within your capsule wardrobe of 30-40 versatile items, you need a good mix of timeless classic basics, signature staples, and above all, what works best for your body shape and lifestyle.
The confidence that comes from a capsule wardrobe
So besides feeling less stressed by incorporating the ultimate mix and match wardrobe, there are other benefits as well.
I know you lack confidence when it comes to marketing your brand online, but if you aren’t confident when it comes to putting compatible outfits together – a capsule wardrobe is a way to boost your confidence.
Since all pieces in your capsule wardrobe will mix and match no matter what you pair together you’ll show up in your life and business full of confidence to tackle the day.
Ditch fashion trends for classic items
Another huge benefit of a capsule is relying on closet staples to complete your wardrobe instead of ever-changing fashion trends. You’ll find more joy in building a capsule of classic items that never go out of style. When you can invest in quality items over the quantity hanging in your closet you’ll also be saving thousands of dollars a year on wasteful overspending.
The fashion industry and its fast-fashion approach are one of the biggest polluters to the environment. These cheap and trendy items mimic celebrity culture to meet consumer demands. But their quick garment production creates overuse of water, textile waste, carbon emissions, and poor working conditions.
By rethinking how you buy, use, and recycle your clothing – your capsule wardrobe will result in less waste and a positive impact on the environment. When you buy less, you’ll wear what you have longer and thus help decrease the demand for wasteful clothing production.
Getting Ready can be fun
But even more than that – getting ready can be fun again! When every outfit you slip on goes together naturally and effortlessly you find joy in your fashion style.
Color Capsule Wardrobe: What colors should I wear?
I mentioned earlier that building a capsule wardrobe is about choosing a sensible assortment of clothing that you look great in, love wearing, and are practical and versatile.
- But how do you know what you look great in?
- What colors should you wear with your skin tone?
- What style of tops works best with your body shape?
Well, I’ve been on a mission for years to answer these same questions for myself as I’ve toggled with the idea of building my own capsule wardrobe.
It wasn’t until recently while working with a CORE Brand Marketing Client that an idea for a collaboration was born between Behind Your Brand and Loren Cosmetics.
