#35: Capsule Wardrobe Mistakes I’d Avoid If I Started From Scratch

The Styled Life

In this episode of The Styled Life Podcast, I’m sharing the biggest capsule wardrobe mistakes I’d avoid if I were starting from scratch today. As a personal stylist (and proud outfit repeater!), I’ve seen firsthand how a capsule wardrobe can simplify your style—but only when it’s built with intention.

Whether you're starting fresh or refining your current capsule, this episode will help you create a wardrobe that aligns with your lifestyle, personal style, and long-term goals.

We’ll cover:

• Why following every capsule checklist can backfire
• How to use your style words to guide your selections
• The value of building your capsule wardrobe slowly and intentionally
• Why fit, fabric, and function matter more than quantity
• How to mix basics with personality pieces for a wardrobe that feels like you

This is your roadmap to building a wardrobe that’s timeless, functional, and uniquely yours.
