Ceejay inspired me with her capsule wardrobe so as we are at the start of spring I researched spring capsule wardrobes, decided on one I felt was appropriate to me and got as many clothing pieces together as possible and evaluated what I would need to purchase.
Luckily most of my clothing is in good condition and I bought some summery tops before we went away in March and have barely worn them because the season then changed.
I have two pairs of jeans, Capri cargo 3/4 pants, shorts and a denim skirt for bottoms. I have five different cardigans- some long sleeves, some short. I have two tshirts and three tank tops, and four going out tops. I also have two going out jackets and three dresses, a pair of flip flops, a pair of sneakers, some dressy flip flops, and two or three pairs of going out shoes. Oh, and three long sleeve tshirts.
And because I tend to stick to black, white and beige (too much of these), with some denim, some coral pinks and some navy, everything matches.
So according to the capsule contents, I need a long sleeve shirt! That is all for the next three months!!
I found one for $38. I also want to get a short sleeve tshirt and a going out top. Hoping to spend $100 for all three.
Next will be a capsule for work clothes because they say to separate the two. Aiming to complete my casual spring clothes capsule by the middle of the month then will look at work clothes in the last couple of weeks in October.

FrugalTexan maybe you can get some things that can be worn with more than one outfit so you get your use of the clothes you already own?
Rob I like the idea because it's kind of in the same sense as use up items in your pantry - the aim is to use up what you have to gain the most wears from each item so you get your money's worth. Unfortunately I also have to clean out the items that don't fit properly/don't get worn!

So far I've taken a picture every day, so I can see what different outfits I've already done. Might be fun to see how long I can go without repeating an exact combination.
