My Story
Growing up, our family's budget was tight, so second-hand shops were where we did our shopping. What started as a necessity turned into a love of making a few great pieces work in countless ways. It became my creative outlet, and before long, my passion.
People often complimented my outfits, never guessing I was wearing the same handful of pieces on repeat, just styled differently each time. That's when I learned the secret: you don't need more clothes, you need the right clothes.
My Capsule Today
My own capsule wardrobe is 37 pieces: a mix of new, high-quality investments and well-loved second-hand finds. I shop for timeless staples that are well made and versatile, so every piece works with the others. The result is a cohesive wardrobe I wear through all four seasons, with more than 37 outfits from just 37 pieces.
Why Capsules Matter
Capsule wardrobes are slow fashion in a fast fashion world. So much of the world chases the newest thing and wants more and more. A capsule asks for something different: start with what you already own, and be thoughtful when you fill in the gaps.
When we slow down and shop with intention, we're kinder to our planet and to ourselves. Through Capsules by Elle, I help you build a wardrobe of pieces you love, in colours that make you shine.
I'm beyond grateful that my passions have grown into a career where I get to share the tools that make getting dressed simple, and something to look forward to every day.
Lovingly,
Elle
