They know, but they can’t do anything about it. She needs to make money somehow and she wrecked all other money-making avenues.

If it won't be too much of a hassle, please can you explain why you say she has wrecked her money making avenues?

Let’s turn the clock back to 2018, when they were planning Megxit. She was a relatively youthful actress with a royal husband, a feminist reputation and a semi-successful blog. She had contributed essays to magazines and anthologies, organized a best-selling charity cookbook, and edited Vogue. She was a decent public speaker and had hosted several successful forum events. She also had a strong fashion viewpoint and reputation thanks to the Rachel Zane character and her royal wardrobe. Plus she had a charity capsule collection and a solid merching rep under her belt.

Yes, most of those achievement were exaggerated (the blog/public speaking), other people’s work (cookbook, essay collection), or thinly veiled disasters (Vogue, capsule collections), but it was still a good resume. A lot of Hollywood achievements are equally fake or exaggerated, so I don’t think that would put anyone off.

So she had something to build on when she left. But did she actually build on that resume after Megxit? Heck no.

The first obvious money-making avenue was fashion. That’s how she was making money before the engagement and she could have returned to that. She could have built on that in Hollywood, but she didn’t attend fashion shows or galas and she didn’t pursue relationships with any new designers. She didn’t even try. She wore yog pants, shorts, palazzo pants and her floppy Panama hat. The style she chose was very “basic beach bitch” which is definitely not fashion.

So scratch high fashion. She still had writing to pursue. She could have done another charity cookbook to build a wellness brand, or another feminist anthology (with freaking Gloria Steinman!) to build a writing brand. But what did she do instead? A children’s book about fathers. She also did a miscarriage essay. She could try to pitch a magazine idea (a la Drew Barrymore) but no one is going to bite because her Vogue issue was terrible.

So so much for writing. There was still her forum experience which seemed like a good match for podcasting. She could have done any podcast topic in the world, but she decided to interview celebrities and bitch about her press coverage. Okay, so much for podcasting. Archetypes wrecked not only her podcasting career but also any change she had at a talk show or View-style show because she was such a disaster at it.

How about acting? She’s not accepting any offers and her own attempt at voice work was not a success. Maybe a reality show? Not really because the candid segments of the Meghan and Harry documentary were frankly terrible.

That’s what I mean when I say she wrecked all her other options. This is why she’s now pitching for a game show or rom com production.

In October, I met with bestie Fanny, whom I hadn't seen in years. The Fanny² were finally back together. We were both wearing orange without planning it in advance (see last picture).

We met on my old cégep campus, and I got to revisit a place I had not seen since 2007, the year I graduated. It was a strangely cathartic experience since my time there is mainly associated with bad memories.

My outfit (you will start seeing pieces repeat thanks to my current capsule wardrobe) Skirt: vintage Cardigan: second-hand Emily Temple Cute Jacket : second-hand Mary Magdalene Beret: old Lauren Ralph Lauren Shoes, belt and glasses: thrifted Blouse: offbrand Brooches and earrings: a variety of different artists whose social media I do not know (the leaves on the beret were thrifted though) Tights: Heattech by Uniqlo

[homunculus-argument]

While I don't really have one of those "capsule wardrobes", one of the best things about having a small selection of clothing is how quickly you can alter your whole style if you wish. I decided to cope with/celebrate some life changes by dramatically changing my look, and all it took was going through my wardrobe and picking out the clothes that I needed to replace anyway (mainly t-shirts), buying replacements in the style I wanted to go for, and getting a few matching accessories of a type that I never used to wear before.

Paired with my good old clothing - high quality things like shoes, winter coat and hat - the combined impression manages to not look like a boring generic fashion plate that I bought impulsively all at once. Since they match each other in style, it's alt style things with a few military surplus store items peppered in. I'm proud of my shoes - they're not expensive but they're polished and cared for as well as I have skills to - but just changing my old broken shoelaces into a fun patterned pair made all the difference.

Since I cut my hair myself, doing something edgier with it didn't cost extra save for buying hair dye. While I have no idea what to do with the old jeans (which are still good though stretched out), I ended up turning the old t-shirts into pillowcases, and some of my literally-tearing-apart pillowcases into shoe polishing rags.

Now I just have to get a new belt (my old jeans didn't need them) and figure out what to do for summer shoes.

Javier Peña’s Clothes

S2E6 Cocaine Javi

Javi’s khaki shirt isn’t new, and you know I don’t love this color on him, but he’s paired it with new items to turn it into three new outfits! Javi has really mastered the whole capsule wardrobe concept; I’d love to see his Pinterest. 

First, the shirt in its native form. The best part of this look is definitely the way the shirt hugs his shoulders and shows off his forearms. It’s also exceptionally well ironed. He pays his housekeeper generously to keep his life in order, I just know it. 

As a side note, you know his housekeeper also discreetly collects and launders the panties his lady guests leave behind. She never asks, but he keeps them in the back of his top drawer if he never sees the lady again. Otherwise, he returns them like the gentleman he is. He has quite a collection going, though. 

Ok, I fucking love the dark jeans, camel belt and chestnut leather shoes he’s paired the khaki shirt with here. Perfect combination of fabrics and colors. The dark jeans show off his waist and torso, and the leather shoes and belt provide a classy contrast, while still flowing well in the color family. And the badge is just sexy. He looks perfect here. 

I love the way Javi walks. He has a slight twist to his pelvis when he moves, like a dancer. I’m not sure if this is Pedro or Javi’s walk, but it’s distinctive and shows off his excellent legs.

When is the tac vest and aviators the wrong choice to pair with a button-down shirt? Trick question! They are never the wrong choice! He looks like walking sex in this combination. 

I mean seriously: take everything about the outfit he already had on, add the tac vest and aviators, and BOOM: it’s like adding cocaine to ice cream. 

I’ve never actually tried cocaine but I definitely want to lick Javi like an ice cream cone. 

Tummy peek!

Javi is guilty as fuck about working with Los Pepes; his eyes are shifting all over the place, and he’s got that leather jacket pulled around his neck like a security blanket. 

It’s not going to work, Javi. You’re fucked. But you look good. Nice job making one shirt last all day, in every setting you needed.

Building a Witchy Capsule Wardrobe

The idea of witches has been haunting humankind across continents for centuries. What began as a real-life hysteria that resulted in countless deaths has been reclaimed over time, celebrated in popular television shows (Charmed, Bewitched, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) and movies (The Craft, Practical Magic, Kiki's Delivery Service), and even becoming a family-friendly Halloween tradition. Though things like witch trials and witch hunts sound like absurd concepts from a distant and radically ignorant time, in reality accusations of witchcraft continue to be taken seriously in multiple countries to this day. But for those of us lucky enough to live without fear of being criminally accused of collaborating with the devil, we can now have a little fun with the "witch" label.

Unsurprisingly, musicians have long embraced the witchy look. Fleetwood Mac frontwoman Stevie Nicks is probably considered by most to have the ultimate witchy rock star aesthetic, complete with an on-stage style of billowing bell sleeves and a discography full of supernatural songs. But it doesn't end there. Florence Welch's ethereal closet of flowing vintage gowns prompted Rolling Stone to describe her as "the Stevie Nicks of the Twilight generation," while Kate Bush has created a style and sound that has inspired many a "is Kate Bush a witch?" Google search. Lorde's predominantly black wardrobe and unconventional movements have also garnered plenty of discussion. "People keep asking me what I will be for Halloween and my answer is that I am Halloween," she once tweeted.

Though the most common visual presentation of a witch involves a green-skinned woman in a pointy hat riding a broom, a modern witchy wardrobe is decidedly more stylish. With a combination of flowy chiffons, lustrous velvets, chunky knits, tough leathers, delicate silks, and intricate lace fabrics, it's a look that is made all the more impactful due to its layers and textures. A little goth, a little bohemian, a little mystical - a witchy wardrobe can be a fun and spooky style to wear year-round, not just in October. If parsing the look down to a capsule-worthy fifteen pieces, these are the witchy essentials.

Whether it's got billowing layers of ruffles or a sleek, simple cut; whether it's a dress adorned with the most dramatic bell sleeves or a shoulder-baring style with no sleeves at all, the black maxi dress is probably the quintessential witchy garment. And while pretty details can be enticing, don't overlook the potential of a basic black maxi. Though it may appear plain on its own, treat it like a canvas onto which you can create endless accessorizing opportunities. Top it with a velvet jacket, wrap it in a chunky belt, or pair it with some lace-up boots, and you've upgraded that nondescript dress and turned it into the ideal witchy outfit.

Perhaps the most extravagant item in any witchy wardrobe is an ornate kimono. It's all in the details: look for fringe, beading, embroidery, sequins, or scalloped lace hems. This is a piece where embellishment is key, so don't go for understated!

Pictured above, left to right: Bsubseach Lace Crochet Open Front Kimono PrettyGuide Beaded Fringed Oversized Shawl Genovega Burnout Velvet Kimono Cardigan FINCATI Eyelash Lace Oversized Kimono Robe

The little black dress is a staple for many women, and that's no different when it comes to a witchy one. When you're wanting to wear a dress but don't want quite as much coverage as a maxi provides, a midi, mini, or cocktail-length LBD fits the bill. And if you're wanting to add a little color to your closet, feel free! Deep burgundy, rich purple, and earthy olive green will mix in easily.

Stevie Nicks wouldn't settle for bland outerwear, and neither should you. This is another opportunity to add some eye-catching details to your wardrobe: take things in an edgy rock 'n' roll direction with a motorcycle jacket, keep it romantic with a soft velvet blazer, or go for a unique, structured cape.

Pictured above, left to right: R.Vivimos Ruffled Asymmetric Velvet Jacket Chouyatou Studded Faux Leather Biker Jacket Futurino Open Front Velvet Jacket ASMAX Open Front Longline Blazer Cape

Modernize a vintage-inspired blouse, or juxtapose an oversized top effortlessly with a pair of black skinny jeans or leggings. Keep it basic, or elevate them by choosing fun fabrics like velvet and faux leather, or cool details like corset lacing and patterned designs.

Pictured above, left to right: Signature by Levi Strauss & Co. Skinny Jean Tagoo Faux Leather Leggings Dearlovers Lace Up Front Leggings Cemi Ceri J2 Love Velvet Leggings

Can you really call it a witchy wardrobe if you don't have at least one garment you can dramatically swoop around in? A drapey, oversized top pairs perfectly with leggings and skinny jeans, and creates quite a striking silhouette. Look for loose batwing sweaters and asymmetrical, cape-like tops.

Pictured above, left to right: Vivicastle Loose Batwing Dolman Tunic Exlura Off Shoulder Batwing Sweater PRETTYGARDEN Asymmetrical Shirt BELONGSCI Balloon Sleeve V-Neck Blouse

Another versatile, witchy staple is the black maxi skirt. Whether you dress it up with a silky tank or heels, or dress it down with a band tee and boots, it will work for almost any season or situation.

A delicate lace shirt works beautifully in any witchy wardrobe, especially when the dainty, vintage aspect of the fabric is contrasted against something decidedly more modern, like a leather jacket or skinny jean. Whether it's a summer-appropriate crop top or a turtleneck sweater with lacey puffed sleeves, the lace shirt is practically a witchy prerequisite.

Pictured above, left to right: Grabsa Scalloped Sheer Floral Lace Blouse Floerns High Neck Lace Lantern Sleeve Blouse Tobrief Sheer Mesh Lace Peplum Top MakeMeChic Scallop Trim Lace Crop Top

Who doesn't love a good graphic tee? This casual basic can be incorporated into a witchy wardrobe with ease, especially if its print features subject matter involving paganism, witchcraft, astrology, tarot, voodoo, or the occult.

Pictured above, left to right: Witchy Woman T-Shirt Mortus Viventi Lovers Tarot Card T-Shirt Goth Moth and Crescent Moon T-Shirt Marie Laveau New Orleans Voodoo T-Shirt

No other shoe style fits a witchy look better than the lace-up boot. Add a grunge touch with some chunky combat boots, make it sexy with buckle-adorned snakeskin, or go all out with some thigh-highs to peak out from under a lace maxi dress.

Pictured above, left to right: Allegra K Platform Chunky Lace-Up Boots Forever Over-The-Knee Boots MACKIN J Pointed Toe Buckle Boots Dr. Martens Heeled Kendra Boots

Keep the pointy hat in the costume drawer, and make a wide-brimmed fedora your new classic. It's great for staying spooky while keeping the sun out of your eyes at the same time. ;)

Pictured above, left to right: Restyle Wool Witch Hat Lanzom Wide Brim Fedora Clecibor Woolen Felt Fedora Lanzom Classic Wide Brim Panama Hat

You can change the entire vibe of an outfit just by changing your tights. Make it sweet with florals, cosmic with stars and moons, or turn heads with gothic crosses, pentagrams and serpents. If funky patterns aren't your thing, go for a more simple sheer or fishnet style.

Pictured above, left to right: Leg Avenue Celestial Fishnet Tights Leg Avenue Snake Fishnet Tights Leg Avenue Cross Fishnet Tights Leg Avenue Pentagram Fishnet Tights

PAGAN NECKLACE

Make a statement with a nature-inspired necklace. Keep things earth-oriented with colorful geodes, animal skulls and taxidermy pendants, but why stop at just one? Layer on the crystals on chains of various lengths to complete the look.

Pictured above, left to right: MJartoria Moon Pentagram Necklace Set YOOE Crow Skull Necklace Restyle Moon Phases Long Necklace Bivei Wire Wrap Quartz Crystal Necklace

CHUNKY BELT

Few things can alter the look of an outfit as much as the addition of a belt. Define the waist of a flowy dress with a wide one, or add Victorian-esque details with a corset style lace-up variation.

Pictured above, left to right: GRACE KARIN Lace-Up Corset Belt Calvin Klein Linen Stretch Belt KOL Fashion Lace Elastic Corset Belt Syuer Retro Cinch Belt

GOTHIC MAKEUP

Now that you've got a witchy wardrobe, add the finishing touches via your make-up choices. Create a smoky eye with a cool-toned neutral eyeshadow palette, then add lip and nail colors in shades of burgundy and black. Voila! You're one witchy woman!

21/04/2024

a little bit sick today so only went out for a little bit! went thrifting at a different thrift and got two STUNNING PIECES but don’t have ANY PHOTOS because they are being washed and I value taking them home clean more than nice photos :(

I got a tigerlily (it’s a brand, don’t know much about it but I believe they are known for bohemian clothing? unsure of their ethics) black bell sleeve wrap shirt in my size! Everything I’ve dreamed of and absolutely perfect for my styles (contextually I love to mix things up a lot in terms of how I dress so my wardrobe is absolutely not a capsule wardrobe, this is not an aesthetic blog), it was $25?!?! which seems a bit overpriced but it’s a perfect piece and fills a gap I’ve been trying to fill for a while. I’m glad I waited to buy a shirt like that because I’ve seen other ones for cheaper and wanted to buy but I knew something about all of them was slightly off putting (texture, colour, size) so finding the right one felt very rewarding! I tried on lots of other stuff and found quite a few cool things but nothing else fit except for:

A slightly too big vintage purple velvet midi skirt with a mesh frill and beadwork! it has now been altered so it’s not looking quite so nice unfortunately :( me and grandma fucked up but it now fits better and is very much still wearable and no one would really notice except me I hope! very Pinterest worthy and I’ve been wanting more pieces like that for a while but I’ve never found any in my size! some depop girl would probably resell it at like $50 as a whimsigoth 90s moment so I’m glad I found mine at $15 even if it is slightly damaged now…..

honourable mention to the BNWT eyelet belt pleated skirt I found which was way too big for me?!?! How cool for whoever takes that one home! and these two gems! such cute pieces but I am not a Sanrio ballet flats type of girl nor am I fully aware of who Oliver tree is (I was slightly too young during the hype). also found numerous other tigerlily pieces but they were bohemian in a I go to coachella and hate on stuff way? they weren’t the moment but there was also a tree of life beaded frill maxi skirt I may try go back for tomorrow, because I lowkey regret not buying it. mindful consumption and all but I bought a white one which is now too big for $150 from the brand a year or two ago and I doubt I’ll ever see another skirt like that so hopefully it’s still there!

no pics cause I’m lazy but we also got a blur cd and the cure?!?! and found deadstock men’s boxers from my parents business before they #broke up and it closed down and died and that filled my Pinterest girl dream of men’s boxers! weirdly lucky!

bonus mention to a depop buy of a navy cable knit v neck brandy jumper for $25. I understand I have overconsumed a little too much in the last few weeks but I also am moving schools to my old high school which has navy jumpers as part of their uniform. while this isn’t necessarily their branded uniform believe me when I say they will not care what brand jumper I wear or if it has a logo as long as it fits the school colours! I also don’t have much of my old uniform from the first time I went there despite the fact I only left for 2 months of the school year! I changed sizes and also donated a lot of my old uniform to my younger sibling who needed it. that purchase feels rationalised to me but definitely no need to go shopping again anytime soon, my wardrobe feels super complete with these purchases :) thank you for making it this far because frankly I would’ve scrolled by now <3

here’s a photo of my lunch

chicken and beef halal snack pack with cheese :) it was actually a huge mental challenge to think about eating this and I deliberated for months but I did it and didn’t even really think about it in the moment! a huge win and another step into normalcy.

#journalling #day in the life #journal #thrifting #vintage #overconsumption #mindful consumption #I am so proud for resisting the urge to buy random secondhand stuff #halal snack packs #CDs #tired of people who say you can’t thrift cool alt stuff I found so many pieces today and chose two and that was just my size #the plus size section had so much alt stuff people need to get out more and try #I thrift daily for like 15-30 mins so I can try and find cool once in a lifetime pieces and some of you shein buyers need to try it tbh

Capsule Wardrobe Operating Plan

This is the current operating plan for my capsule wardrobe project that I will be starting in 2023, but will likely carry into 2024 and possibly beyond. The operating plan includes the colors I will be using in my wardrobe, as well as the garments I intend to make. Some of the garments are fully planned out down to the fabric and pattern I will be using, while others still have some decisions that need to be made. However, this is the generally finalized list of garments that I will be working from and crossing off as I go. Additionally, because I am also a historical costumer who frequently incorporates garments from my historical costuming into my regular wardrobe, I'm giving myself the freedom to let a historical costuming piece satisfy a capsule wardrobe requirement if I so choose. And with that, let the sewing begin!

Colors

The colors are based both off of what is already prominent in my current wardrobe, and the colors that work best for my warm autumn coloring.

Neutrals:

Brown - particularly warm browns that vary from light to dark; coffee, cognac, camel

Cream - warm off-whites that go well with the warm browns

Colors:

Green - again, warm greens with mid to rich saturation; nothing too light or pastel, nothing cool or “minty"; fern, olive, forest, etc.

Orange - earthy to vibrant; no neon and again no pastels; terracotta, rust, true orange

Red - anything from scarlet to burgundy; use carefully so as not to contrast too much with green

Garments

These are broken down into different garment categories. While several garments are fully finalized, others are subject to some change and will be updated accordingly

Foundation Garments:

One "every day" corset - will use 1860s corset pattern from RedThreaded; have fabric for

One to two additional petticoats - white cotton, possibly one silk for winter

Several linen shifts

Dresses:

Cold weather dresses

Red wool dress - full skirt, large bishop sleeves, long cuff with buttons, v-cut bodice; have fabric for

Dark green wool pinafore - square neck, bodice with buttons on both sides, moderately fully skirt; have fabric for

Brown wool pinafore - style uncertain; have fabric for

Warm weather dresses

Linen wrap dress - will likely use the HubaDing wrap dress pattern from etsy, color unknown

Green linen dress - possibly a more muted green such as olive or a warmer moss, maybe sleeveless

Blouses

One long-sleeved linen blouse appropriate for warm weather - something with big, floating sleeves, color tbd

One short-sleeved linen blouse appropriate for warm weather - possibly self-draft a milkmaid blouse style top, color tbd 

Brown silk blouse - a rich, warm brown; probably a crepe or a charmeuse; use the 1930s blouse with a pussy bow tie from Etsy

Cream silk blouse - possibly the Vampire blouse pattern from The Closet Historian or 1930s pussy bow blouse

Mossy green silk blouse - TCH Vampire blouse or 1930s blouse with pussy bow

Skirts

Brown corduroy skirt - more structured like a pencil skirt/A-line

Brown wool skirt - Edith Skirt pattern; have fabric for

Green wool skirt - 1890s walking skirt; have fabric for

Orange linen skirt - likely an earthy terracotta color; similar to the skirts with buttons down the front and a flounce at the bottom possibly with a belt tie

Brown linen(?) skirt - A warm, rich brown; maybe the Edith Skirt pattern again; this is the least thought out, probably something more structured that would be suitable for warmer weather

Misc.

A suit - most likely in a suiting wool, maybe brown or green; something vintage-inspired (30s, 40s, or 50s) but suitable for modern wear

A fancy dress for fancy occasions - in a silk; color and style tbd

Two T-Tunics

September 19, 2023

[Image ID: the bodice and sleeves of two basic medieval tunics - one pink and one blue.]

While my ultimate goal with SCA garb is to create a 14th century capsule wardrobe, I know it will be a while before I have the money to buy all the wool and linen I'd need and the time to make anything out of it.

So I'm starting with something more basic. The uniform of SCA-dians everywhere - the T-tunic!

The basic pattern can be adapted to fit many eras, whether as a base layer or fashion layer, as a shirt or a dress.

The Fabric

You can make t-tunics out of basically any fabric. Linen and wool are the most historically-accurate, and silk probably is too.

Unfortunately, that's not really in my budget right now, so I used two thrifted cotton bed sheets, which I think are queen sized. I got two tunics for $5 of fabric!

The Pattern

These tunics are made out of simple geometric shapes - rectangles for the body and sleeve gussets, triangular skirt gores, and either rectangles or trapezoids for sleeves.

To make things easier on myself, I used this "Custom Smock Pattern Generator" from elizabethancostume.net to make the pattern, then cut out the shapes it gave me with added seam allowance.

Assembly

Instructions for assembling a t-tunic have been written probably hundreds of times, so I'll direct you back to elizabethancostume.net to spare you another explanation.

I usually flat-fell seams on things like this, but I wanted to minimize the amount of hand sewing I had to do while also not having any visible machine stitching, so I french seamed everything.

I used a facing for the neckline instead of a binding and hand-sewed the edges of that down.

The sleeve and skirt hems were also hand-sewn.

A Note on Fitting

The smock generator pattern I used takes into account your shoulder width, and seems to direct to instructions on how to measure that, but it wouldn't show up for me. As a result, I suspect my measurement was too narrow.

While the resulting shapes fit well over my bust and waist, I almost couldn't get it on over my shoulders!

Thankfully, I had suspected this issue, so my first smock was a few inches wider than the generated pattern called for. I added a bit more width to my second tunic.

Looking Forward

I'm glad to have a base for my medieval/SCA wardrobe, but I can't wait to expand! I want to do some basic accessories next, like linen veils.

I already have a few other accessories - a thrifted straw hat, one of those long fantasy/ren faire/sorta medieval belts, and a mug.

I also have decent-sized leftovers from these bed sheets - I'll save most of it to line wool hoods, but I'll use some small pieces to make drawstring bags to hang from my belt.

Stay tuned for a post on plotting out my plans for garb! In the meantime,

Stay warm, stay safe, and stay healthy.

do you have like, BL shows merch? i got those t-shirts from bad buddy and the box set and was wondering if you got a collection of items like these.. maybe getting something for not me too. which series would you like to have content of? if you don't already..

Do I Collect BL Ephemera?

Nope. I mean I created and ordered this shirt for myself:

That's the 18+ rating for Thai dramas. 

I think I am A HOOT. 

I also bought this sweater recently: 

Because I have decided to just start dressing like a mixture of KBL schoolboy + kpop idol, for no good reason except I CAN - and I refuse to return to the 90s in its entirety. 

But these are both sensible purchases that I wear all the time. 

I travel a lot (when not in lockdown). And I live in one of the highest cost of living places in the world so I have the tiniest rent controlled apartment you’ve ever seen and it is anally clean. Like NO CLUTTER. I don’t like “stuff” very much. Some people have capsule wardrobes, I have a capsule lifestyle. 

It started out with me just investing in smaller and smaller more multi-use things for travel reasons, and then I liked them so much that I used them in everyday life, and now it’s just how I live. Like I’m halfway camping through my whole existence. Barring furniture (which is all Ikea anyway) I could pack my whole world into the back of a small pickup truck. I have actually considered becoming one of those itinerants who lives out of a camper van, but I don’t like driving very much and the wifi is never good enough on the go. 

I used to be one of those people who just went and lived in some random country for a few years. I have several citizenships (don’t tell) so I can just uproot and go somewhere for a couple years, then go somewhere else. It’s how I grew up so it’s what I know. Shifting my focus to ET has pulled me back to the left coast USA for longer than I expected, especially with covid, but I can’t imagine I’ll stay here much longer. 

All that to say, I regard excess stuff with genuine HORROR. 

I mean I grew up a super SFF geek so I am familiar with the inclination to COLLECT, but as my friends and relatives have gotten older and more and more stationary and hoarder-esk I just see “stuff” as a nightmare I’ll eventually have to deal with and dispose of. (No skin, if it’s your thing GO for it. I get it makes my existence seem a bit sparse and lonely, but it works for me.) 

If I can, I digitalize everything. (I have multiple back up systems and passcodes etc... and I tend not to use the cloud if I can avoid it.) Which means about the only objects I have a lot of is back up drives (2) and laptops (3) and travel supplies. 

For example, BL drove me back into mangas, which I insist on reading in print form. Which means I order them, read them, and then almost immediately donate them to the local library. I’m bonkers. 

I do collect screen caps of BL, does that count? 

If I were to collect anything BL related it would probubly be clothing, like t-shirts, jewelry, belts, or shoes. But I prefer the “obscure band” thing, so I’d want weird and quirky ubiquitous ones, not specific shows. Jokes only I (and you lot) are into. I would like to own a Thai engineering smock, for example.

Wardrobe Organizer Boxes: Elevate Your Closet Organization Game

In the pursuit of a well-organized and clutter-free life, the significance of an efficiently managed wardrobe cannot be overstated. Wardrobe organizer boxes have emerged as essential tools in achieving this goal. These ingenious storage solutions not only optimize space within your closet but also enhance accessibility and streamline your daily routine. This comprehensive guide explores the world of wardrobe organizer boxes, highlighting their benefits, types, creative applications, and practical tips to transform your closet into a model of orderliness and functionality.

1. Understanding Wardrobe Organizer Boxes

Wardrobe organizer boxes are versatile containers designed to fit seamlessly into your closet space, providing designated compartments for various clothing items, accessories, and personal belongings. They range in size, material, and design, catering to diverse storage needs while ensuring a cohesive and visually appealing closet setup.

2. Benefits of Wardrobe Organizer Boxes

Enhanced Organization: The primary advantage of wardrobe organizer boxes lies in their ability to compartmentalize your clothing and accessories. By categorizing items and assigning each a specific space, you can effortlessly locate what you need, saving time and frustration.

Maximized Space Utilization: Wardrobe organizer boxes make efficient use of closet space by capitalizing on vertical and horizontal dimensions. This is particularly beneficial in smaller closets where every inch counts.

Prevent Wrinkles and Damage: Delicate fabrics and accessories can suffer from improper storage. These boxes offer protective enclosures that help prevent wrinkles, creases, and potential damage caused by friction or exposure.

Easy Rotation: Seasonal clothing rotation becomes a breeze with organizer boxes. Transitioning between summer and winter attire is seamless as you can simply swap out boxes without disturbing the rest of your closet.

Visual Aesthetics: The uniformity and tidiness introduced by wardrobe organizer boxes contribute to an aesthetically pleasing closet environment. They create a harmonious and inviting visual impact that extends beyond mere functionality.

3. Types of Wardrobe Organizer Boxes

Foldable Fabric Boxes: These soft-sided boxes are collapsible and often come in various sizes. They're ideal for holding folded clothes, accessories, and small items. The collapsibility allows for easy storage when not in use.

Clear Plastic Boxes: Transparent plastic boxes provide clear visibility of contents, making it easy to identify items without having to open each box. They are excellent for shoes, scarves, belts, and small accessories.

Drawer Organizer Boxes: Designed to fit into dresser drawers, these boxes neatly separate socks, underwear, ties, and other small items. They prevent items from mixing and create order within drawers.

Shoe Storage Boxes: These boxes are specially designed for shoes, keeping them protected from dust and potential scuffing. They come in various sizes to accommodate different shoe styles.

Stackable Boxes: Stackable organizer boxes maximize vertical space. They can be easily stacked on top of each other to create a multi-tiered storage system for various items.

4. Creative Applications of Wardrobe Organizer Boxes

Accessory Haven: Utilize smaller boxes to create dedicated compartments for accessories like jewelry, watches, and sunglasses. This prevents tangling and ensures your accessories are ready to wear.

Linen Library: Use larger organizer boxes to store bed linens, towels, and blankets. Properly folded and stored linens remain fresh and easily accessible.

Seasonal Storage: Allocate specific boxes for each season's clothing. When a new season arrives, simply rotate the boxes to the forefront of your closet for easy access.

Travel Prep: Create a travel-ready section by using boxes to organize travel-sized toiletries, essential accessories, and a capsule wardrobe. This simplifies packing and minimizes the chances of forgetting important items.

5. Tips for Using Wardrobe Organizer Boxes Effectively

Plan and Categorize: Before purchasing organizer boxes, assess your wardrobe and categorize items. This will help you determine the types and sizes of boxes you need.

Labeling: For opaque boxes, consider adding labels to the front, indicating the contents. This saves time and helps you locate specific items quickly.

Proper Folding: Fold clothing items neatly before placing them in boxes. This prevents creases and optimizes space utilization.

Mix and Match: Combine different types of boxes to accommodate various items. Use smaller ones for accessories, clear ones for shoes, and larger ones for bulkier items.

Regular Maintenance: Periodically review your closet organization and adjust the placement of boxes as needed. This ensures that your organization system remains effective over time.

6. Selecting the Right Wardrobe Organizer Boxes

Size and Dimensions: Choose boxes that fit well within your closet space. Measure the available dimensions before purchasing to ensure a seamless fit.

Material: Opt for durable materials that can withstand regular use. Fabric boxes should be sturdy and tear-resistant, while plastic ones should be made from high-quality materials.

Stackability: If you plan to stack boxes, make sure they are designed to do so securely. This prevents accidents and keeps your closet organized.

Aesthetic Appeal: Consider the visual appeal of the boxes. Select colors and designs that complement your closet's overall aesthetic.

Ease of Access: Boxes with lids or handles that are easy to open and close ensure convenient access to your belongings.

Conclusion

In the quest for an organized lifestyle, wardrobe organizer boxes are indispensable tools that bring order, efficiency, and aesthetics to your closet space. These versatile containers transform your wardrobe into a functional and visually appealing haven, making the most of every inch available. By understanding the benefits, exploring various types, and implementing creative strategies, you can harness the power of wardrobe organizer boxes to elevate your closet organization game. Whether you're looking to streamline daily routines, preserve clothing quality, or simply enjoy a clutter-free environment, these boxes offer a customizable and stylish solution that enhances both your living space and overall well-being.

Simplify Your Style Mastering the Men's Capsule Wardrobe

I want to talk about a concept that's been a game-changer in the world of fashion – the men's capsule wardrobe. Whether you're a seasoned fashionista or just dipping your toes into the style waters, building a capsule wardrobe can simplify your life and elevate your fashion game. So, let's dive in and discover how to craft the perfect men's capsule wardrobe.

What is a Men's Capsule Wardrobe? A men's capsule wardrobe is a curated collection of essential clothing items that can be mixed and matched to create a wide variety of outfits. Think of it as the foundation of your personal style, a versatile collection that allows you to effortlessly put together stylish looks for any occasion.

Why Choose a Capsule Wardrobe? There are several compelling reasons to embrace the concept of a capsule wardrobe:

Simplicity: A capsule wardrobe streamlines your clothing choices, making it easier to decide what to wear every day. No more staring at a closet full of clothes and feeling like you have nothing to wear.

Quality Over Quantity: With a capsule wardrobe, you invest in high-quality, timeless pieces that are built to last. This not only saves you money in the long run but also reduces the environmental impact of fast fashion.

Efficiency: Mixing and matching a limited number of items allows you to create a wide range of outfits, saving you time and effort in the morning.

Now, let's get down to the nitty-gritty of building your own men's capsule wardrobe.

Step 1: Start with the Basics The foundation of any capsule wardrobe consists of classic, versatile pieces. Here's a list to get you started:

Crisp White Dress Shirt: A well-fitted white dress shirt is a timeless essential that can be dressed up or down.

Black Denim Jeans: A pair of black jeans is versatile and can be worn casually or for more formal occasions.

Gray Blazer: A well-tailored gray blazer adds instant polish to any outfit.

Black Wool Trousers: Opt for classic black trouser that can be paired with almost anything.

White Sneakers: Clean, white sneakers are a must for a modern, casual look.

Leather Dress Shoes: Invest in a quality pair of leather dress shoes for formal occasions.

Step 2: Add Some Variety Now that you have your basics in place, it's time to inject some personality into your wardrobe. Here are a few ideas:

Knitwear: Incorporate knitwear into your capsule wardrobe. A collection of versatile sweaters, such as crewnecks, and turtlenecks, can provide both warmth and style.

Outerwear: Include a versatile coat or jacket that suits your climate, whether it's a tailored overcoat or a casual leather jacket.

Accessories: Don't forget ties, pocket squares, belts, and a quality watch to elevate your outfits.

Step 3: Mix and Match The beauty of a capsule wardrobe is its versatility. Experiment with different combinations to create various looks using your curated pieces. For example, pair your white dress shirt with jeans for a smart-casual ensemble or wear it with the gray blazer for a more formal appearance.

Step 4: Maintenance and Adaptation As seasons change and trends evolve, don't be afraid to update your capsule wardrobe with a few key pieces. The key is to maintain a balance between timeless classics and contemporary additions.

So, there you have it, folks! Building a men's capsule wardrobe is all about quality, versatility, and embracing simplicity without sacrificing style. With these essentials and a little creativity, you'll have a wardrobe that's as versatile as it is stylish.
