Using a capsule wardrobe is more than just having the right number of pieces in your wardrobe and having colors that look good on you.

Are you ready to have a different outfit for every day of the year?

How I Created a Capsule Wardrobe Using My Bullet Journal

How do I do it?

I plan out what I am going to wear in my planner. :)

Today I am going to show you how I do it in my planner and a way you can do it in your bullet journal.

To start you have to figure out how many outfits you have in your wardrobe.

After you figure out how many outfits you have, you will need to write these all down in a spreadsheet. Below is how I set up my spreadsheet.

Outfit#   Top                       Bottom                       Jacket          Dresses   Shoes              Accessories
1            Blue Ruffle Top    Black Skinny Jeans   Jean Jacket                  Ankle Boots   Navy Bracelet

I give a name to each item in my wardrobe, like Blue Ruffle Top or Black and White Stripe Tee.

Also, along with this, I have a page in my bullet journal with a picture of each item in my wardrobe, or if I don't have a picture of it, then I write the name of the item.

This is your strategic plan. Now it is time to learn how to implement it.

Flip to your calendar. You can have an additional one to use just for your wardrobe or you can use your work or personal monthly/weekly/daily layout.

Looking at all of your outfits in the spreadsheet (I printed mine out for my personal-sized planner) decide what you want to wear for tomorrow or any day.

Then write the number of that outfit in your weekly/daily/monthly layout. In the morning, when you have to get dressed, flip to your weekly/monthly/daily layout and look at the number of the outfit you are going to wear, then flip to the list of all of your outfits and go to that number.

That is all there is to it!

Since I have over 500 different outfits, once I wear an outfit, I cross it off the list.

The above picture is a layout in my old bullet journal. Now I use a planner. :) You can read about why I switched to a planner here.

Below is a picture of the first page of my new planner capsule wardrobe system.

Capsule Wardrobe Must-Haves Part 2

You stare and you stare at your clothes in the closet.

Today, I am going to share with you three easy ways to organize your closet to save time.

First, think about where you put your clothes.

Do you hang your shirts in your closet and put your pants in your drawer?

Are your shoes downstairs by the door?

Thinking about where you put your clothes helps you to know which organizing system is for you.

The three ways to organize your closet are...

1. By Type
2. By Outfit
3. By Color

This type of organization is where you have all of your shirts in one place, say your drawer or hanging up in your closet. Your shoes would all be in the cubbies by the door and so on and so forth.

By type works well for people who want to be able to put everything back in its place very easily.

To organize your closet like this, start by thinking about which piece you pick out for your outfits first. If you pick out your shirt first every morning, then put your shirts in a very easy spot for you to access. (You are probably still going to be sleepy! 😊) 

This system is best for people with a very large wardrobe and who like to have their outfits organized and ready to go in the morning.

An easy way to set up this system is to have a spot for the outfit you are going to wear for that day.

Such as a hanging door container for everything you are going to wear or a hanger in your closet marked with a label like "Outfit for the Day" or "Today's Outfit."

This system is personally my favorite closet organizing system. Having a beautiful rainbow array when you open your closet doors in the morning is definitely cheering.

I have set up this system for a friend and they are really enjoying being able to pick out what they want to wear easily.

This system is best for people who have more than three colors in their wardrobe. (Literally everyone!)

To set up your closet by color, pick which color you want to be on the end in your closet. I would set it up in the following order.

1. Whites
2. Pinks
3. Reds
4. Purples
5. Blues
6. Blacks

To make it easier, brainstorm on a piece of paper some different setups you could do.

After you have picked what setup you want and you have implemented the setup, you are done with the first step, and it is time to get on to the second step.

I recommend using a planner, and writing down what you are wearing for the following day.

You can try that out, or if it doesn't work for you, you can decide on what outfits you can make and then have a hanger or an over-the-door container to put your outfit of the day in.

So, to sum up this post:

1. Organize Your Closet
1. By Type
2. By Outfit
3. By Color
2. Plan Your Wardrobe
