3: Capsule Wardrobe Jan 25, 2015

Show notes

Delilah+Nicole talk to stylist and fashion expert Erin Barrow about the capsule wardrobe trend and how to create one of your own.

The capsule wardrobe is all about having fewer pieces of clothing and better outfits. Instead of keeping clothes you don't wear (and shouldn't!) or just buying cheap trends, the capsule wardrobe chooses essential pieces that can be mixed and worn multiple times to achieve a unique, polished look.

It's the perfect medium for the busy professional who wants to look good without spending 5 years staring at the closet deciding what to wear.
