Andrea's Capsule wardrobe




Andrea had asked me to help streamline her wardrobe a bit. Andrea has a very relaxed (but not sloppy) style. She works in a creative environment and going to work in a suit would not suit the company image at all.


I asked Andrea to fill in a little questionnaire for me so that I could get a better idea of what she wanted from her wardrobe and also to try to match her current style with a style she wanted. When that was done the real fun started.



We emptied out her ENTIRE wardrobe and made three piles: Yes, No and Maybe. After weeding out all items she no longer wears, doesn't like and that are basically not fit for the warmer seasons we were left with quite a stunning and very funky wardrobe.


Andrea's base colours are now greys, olive green with some black. Her accent colours are blues and purples. We narrowed her wardrobe down to about a third!! We also discovered that Andrea has the most stunning dresses that she will definitely be wearing more often. She was also delighted to see how easy it was to dress for any occasion with her new wardrobe and how little effort it takes.


Andrea now has a streamline wardrobe and the only items I'd suggest she should add is one or two extra strappy tops for when it gets really hot, or to wear under tops or that are too low cut for work.
