Welcome to my wardrobe for Winter 2020!
Yes, I am aware that we're already a month deep in the season, but I never got round to doing this post in december and I was missing my capsule after a season of limitless wardrobe use. I just feel like limiting myself to a capsule gives more of a sense of direction to my style and I do like that feeling.
So, what have I included in my winter wardrobe?
- 7 coats/jackets
- 5 sweaters/cardigans
- 7 tops/blouses
- 4 trousers
- 4 skirts
- 3 dresses
- 5 pairs of shoes
Outerwear
The first thing you might notice is the exhuberant amount of coats, bazers and jackets. What can I say? I'm jacket obsessed and I couldn't choose! It was already hard limiting myself down to just 7. This meant not including my long brown leather coat nor my biker jacket, both will be missed for sure, but I figured they both get loads of wears during spring and fall already, so I really focussed on my more wintery pieces, like my long checked coat that I bought at a fast fashion retailer 4 years ago, and that hasn't gotten nearly enough wears lately.
There a few new-to-me pieces in here as well, like the leather parka I thrifted for no more than €3 a few months ago. It's also got a fur trimmed removable hood which isn't depicted here. It has been such a faithful friend on rainy days that I can say with my hand on my heart: best €3 ever spent!
The teddy jacket was a preloved online purchase from Zara's previous winter collection. I felt a bit bad buying this, since I just felt like sponsoring a fast fashion addict to continue her current behavior. But I'll admit, I have very much enjoyed wearing this piece already. It's surprisingly warm and makes me feel very cute and cuddly.
Knitwear
I included almost every single piece of knitwear I own, except for some knits that are too thin to keep me warm these days and my camel coloured oversized jumper. Most of these are 3 to 5 years old already and they still look sooooo pretty. Which really proves that investing in good qualty wool knitwear and washing these as least as possible really does pay off!
Tops
Yes, that is correct, I included two leopard print tops in my capsule! And why the heck not? One has a shirt collar and the other one is a wrap blouse and I just felt I coudn't miss either of them. Furthermore we have two pink numbers here, one floral blouse and one marroon coloured blouse from Armed Angels that I got for free at work to wear as a uniform (I work at a sustainable fashion store), but I happen to like pretty much, so decided to add it to my personal wardrobe.
Trousers
Nothing much to add here, just my all time favourite 4 years old H&M jeans and then some extra pairs of trousers I'll harldy wear, because my faves hardly ever leave my legs. No just kidding, but yeah, basically, no really!
Skirts
Four skirts, 2 of them thrifted, one 8 year old Zara skirt and an Armed Angels denim skirt I bought last summer, but looks really cute with black nylons and my patent croco boots too!
Dresses
I'm honestly quite surprised myself to have no less than 4 skirts and 3 dresses in my capsule, since I always considered myself more of a pants person. Don't be fooled though, my jeans will definitely get the most wear out of them, but dresses and skirts are always fun for more styling options and versatality on the ol' Instagram feed!
Shoes
This must be the first time in like ever that I didn't add any sneakers to my capsule and that cn only be so because I have found THE most comfy AND elegant lace-up booties everrrrr known to human kind. I swear I could live in those shoes, but of course my croco embossed calf high boots are also very cute and I love my "hiking" boots for a more tuff gal look.
Well, I do believe we have discussed everything at lenght now. Kudos to you if you're been reading ;).
