![]() It kinda goes without saying that I’m not exactly reinventing the wheel here by choosing things like trench coats and black dresses and, well, all the other stuff, really. In real life, I’m slowly working on tracking down more affordable versions of some of these, but I think the key to a classic capsule wardrobe is that every item should be perfect, so for the purposes of this post, I’ve chosen the pieces that looked best, rather than the ones I could actually afford.

Well, I don’t subscribe to that idea AT ALL: I mean, it’s totally crazy to me to think that everyone in the world would have the same style, and require the same clothes. I still don’t subscribe to the capsule wardrobe philosophy, and don’t think I ever will – there are just too many clothes in the world for that – but I’m finding that the older I get, the more drawn I am to the all-time classics. I know I’ve talked about it a lot, but for me this year has been about identifying and tracking down my wardrobe essentials, and trying to resist the lure of endless pretty dresses (er, I’m not saying I’ve actually MANAGED that one, obviously: I have TRIED, though…), in favour of high-quality basics that will last forever, and provide me with endless options.
