One of the reasons I've heard that people are scared to do a capsule wardrobe is uncertain weather. By God, we have that in NC, so I thought I would share how I've handled the first three weeks of this capsule. February was in the 70s and I was oh so excited to swap out my fall and winter clothes for the pretty colors of my spring clothes. I swapped capsules the week that finished out February and started March. The weather was gorgeous and I was feeling confident in my spring choices - plus I had a new LulaRoe skirt that I was dying to wear!

Then the weather started to go downhill. Most of this capsule is layering pieces, so I had to get creative. I started with dresses, thinking that I was mostly going to be in my office.

I went through all the cardigans.

Finally, it was a Friday and I was feeling like wearing my LulaRoe Randy tee. It's not the dressiest thing in the world, but Friday is dress down. It still didn't feel work-appropriate, though, so I popped on my vest from Stitch Fix.

The lesson is this: weather is weird. It's going to be weird, especially if you live in North Carolina or anywhere, really. I think I saw on the news that the last cold snap is normally some time in April, so I still have some weeks to go. Sometimes you might have to cheat and pull an item out that isn't in your capsule. I don't recommend it, but life goes on. But I still like my capsule. Mostly because it does make me think about different ways to wear my clothes and how to style them instead of wearing a cardigan, shirt and jeans every day of my life (cause that's what would happen). It also allows me to really think about what I'm buying and buy things that I will wear all the time, like my booties.
So, did you survive the cold? Have you swapped your clothes out for warm weather stuff yet? And am I the only one wanting to wear furry boots to work?
I think this is an i nformative post and it is very useful and knowledgeable. therefore, I would like to thank you for the efforts you have made in writing this article.
