Even though we’re staying at home these days I still switched my fall capsule wardrobe to a winter one because I feel much better that way 🙂
It’s true that I’ve become a bit lazier with dressing myself lately, but by switching my capsule wardrobe I at least get a little bit more excited to wear some of the items I haven’t seen for a really long time.
So now I can show you what I picked, and I will also share a few bits that I decluttered and a few things that I added to my winter capsule wardrobe for 2021.
THE COLOUR PALETTE
This winter my colour palette looks very similar to the last year. Like always I love wearing a lot of black during winter with other neutrals like whites and creams. These are what I gravitate towards and are what I call my base colours.
For coordinating colours I have my denim, as usual, hehe, and I also picked a light pink shade. And for my accent colours, I love wearing colourful jumpers during winter in the colour orange, pink and plum. So here is my colour palette and the colour I wear during colder winter months.
MY CHOICES
As always I didn’t focus on any numbers when deciding what to keep, instead, I just followed my heart. I must admit that when picking out pieces for this winter I wasn’t as excited as I usually am but I still did my best to build my normal capsule wardrobe.
I’m still happy with how everything turned out. I have more jumpers than I necessarily need but that’s because I wanted to wear them this winter to see if I still want to keep them or do I want to let them go (some I shrunk last year, and some are just really old).

MY ADDITIONS & WISHLIST
This winter I decluttered four things out of my closet.
The first thing is a grey coat that I almost never wore, so when my mum said she needed one I immediately gave it to her and now she wears it all the time. So it’s a win-win!
The second thing I decluttered are black high-waisted shorts that I wore quite a lot but I had one big problem with them; they were really short, so I didn’t feel very comfortable wearing them. That is why I got a new longer pair that is even better and more stylish.
The third thing I gave away is a black tube mini skirt that was too figure-hugging and I just didn’t find it that flattering on me. That’s why I rarely wore it, and when I found an elastic a-line black mini skirt I knew I don’t need it anymore.
And the last thing I put out of my main capsule wardrobe is a white tee that was super figure-hugging and slightly see-through. Again, not very flattering and I didn’t wear it as much as I wanted to. So I found a better replacement and I’m much happier with the new version. But in this case, I actually repurposed my old white tee and I put it in my activewear and loungewear capsule to see if I would wear it more there.
In total, I added 3 items, decluttered 3 and repurposed 1.
As for my wishlist goes I honestly don’t have anything that I want to add to my winter capsule this year.
Somewhere in the future, I want to add a pair of high over-the-knee boots with a low heel but I’m still deciding if that would be a great addition or not. But other than that, that’s it!
