I wrote an article for CincySocialMagazine.com not too long ago about decluttering your life and minimalism and all that good stuff, but I seem to have a pretty hard time following my own advice. I decided that I would declutter as much as possible during spring cleaning this year.
We started with the garage a couple of weeks ago and since then, I have been cleaning and organizing like a crazy person! I cleaned out the closets this past weekend and got rid of a ton of stuff! Even though I still actually have the stuff in my house, I plan on taking most everything and donating it. Anyways, as I was going through (all) the clothes, it got me to thinking about doing a capsule wardrobe again. For real this time! I only wear a few things at a time usually anyways, so I decided to go back to my trusty ole Polvore to help organize it in my brain and on "paper" first!
This has taken me almost a whole week to compile and I have had a blast doing it. I mean Polyvore is kind of like shopping but without spending money. Unless you just have to have something... like I usually do!! Sorry Husband!!!! There are a few items that I don't own yet, but hope to sometime in the near future! Especially before Italy!
So this is everything (in all of my favorite colors lol!) that I could/would/do use on a daily basis. From a jacket to a bobby pin!
First and foremost... JEWELRY!!!
I love gold and black, obviously, so all of this jewelry can be mixed and matched. I've got my wedding rings here, my three fave pair of earrings, bracelets (which I only have two of at the moment), watches (I want the black and gold one soooo badly!!), and necklaces. (I need the long one, I'm loving it but it is sold out at the moment!)

Well, just a little over 100 items. Like 102 or 103... For spring and most of summer... I think that's pretty good, especially considering that I added in electronics, make up and jewelry. Just all the things that I am using at the moment! I am planning to keep to this all through spring and summer and then I will change out items as the weather changes. Also, as it gets hotter, I plan to change out some jeans with shorts maybe.. If this works out like I want it to, I hope to get rid of anything I might have as "back-up crap". We'll see how it goes I guess!
As a final note, I didn't add in my work clothes into the capsule, but if I did it'd look a little like this.

So I plan on getting back to some regularly scheduled blogging now that I have my work schedule "worked in" to my routine. Hope to get new LUST/MUST posts going again soon!
