One of my followers recently wrote to me and explained that she was expecting her third child in a few months and was needing a whole new wardrobe for her post-baby body. She doesn't have a big budget for clothes and asked me to do a capsule wardrobe for moms in order to give her ideas to expand her wardrobe inexpensively. I gladly accepted her challenge and hope this can give her and other readers some good ideas on stretching their budget and wardrobe!
First off, some of you may be wondering, "what is the purpose of a capsule wardrobe?" It's when you have a collection of clothes that can be mixed and matched in multiple ways to adapt to different seasons and events. This makes getting dressed in the morning less time consuming and will help you save money on clothes without compromising your style.
With this capsule wardrobe, I used 12 articles of clothing, not including shoes, or accessories(scarves, belts, necklaces, watches) and made 23 different outfits! I'm sure these 12 pieces could make more outfits, especially if you added more accessories.
I'll link up all of the main clothing items below!
