The UnFancy blog is written by Caroline. She posts daily outfits from her
37-piece wardrobe and shares how she makes minimalism work for her wardrobe. She changes her 37 piece capsule wardrobe each season, and posts details of this as well. Although you may not have the same style as Caroline, the idea is one worth considering.
Her seasonal capsule wardrobe of 37 pieces consists of 9 pairs of shoes, 9 bottoms, and 15 tops, plus 2 dresses and 2 jackets/coats. Each category is further broken down.
9 shoes = 3 pairs of
flats, 3 pairs of heels, and 3 pairs of boots.
9 bottoms = 3 pairs of jeans, 3 pairs of shorts, and 3 skirts.
15 tops = 3 sweaters, 3
tee shirts, 3 button up shirts, 3 tank tops, and 3 vests.
For each set of three items, choose one plain item + one crazy-fun statement item + one item
that falls between the two.
Here are the links to her writings about how to get started.

I was always making notes on scraps of paper about tips and facts I'd read in books and magazines, seen on the Internet or on TV. So this is my paperless filing system for all those bits of information I want to access easily. (Please note: I live in the UK, so any financial or legal information relates only to the UK.)
