As a teenager, our family's finances were limited, so second-hand shopping was our go-to. From necessity grew a love of turning a few good pieces into countless outfits. It was a fun, creative outlet that quickly became my passion. I would often get compliments on my outfits, but I wore the same pieces on repeat just in different ways.

My personal Capsule Wardrobe consists of both new high-quality pieces and gently used pieces for a total of 37 pieces. When I shop, I look for timeless staple pieces that are good quality and versatile to create a very cohesive wardrobe. This allows me to wear the majority of my wardrobe through all four seasons and create 37+ outfits.

I am so incredibly passionate about Capsule Wardrobes because they represent a slow fashion model in a fast fashion world. It seems the world is obsessed with the newest thing and obtaining more and more. Capsule Wardrobes focus on quality over quantity. Beginning with what you already own and being thoughtful when you fill in the gaps. We must slow down, be kinder to our planet, and be more intentional with how we shop.

I am beyond grateful that my passions and talents have slowly morphed into a career that allows me to share the tools that make getting dressed simple and something to look forward to each day.
