12 pieces 30 outfits: a capsule wardrobe for spring or fall

With this capsule wardrobe, you can dress yourself for a month with just 12 pieces of clothing. As simple as that! I want to break down for you what clothes will help make this happen and how many different outfits you can create!

More than likely, you already have all or most of these pieces in your closet. Many of them are adaptable to work for your life and your body. For instance, the striped top could be a button-down shirt or a t-shirt. The neutral colored t-shirt could be any color that seems neutral to you. They are pieces that move from work to weekend and day to night!

Here's the capsule wardrobe at your fingertips. The 12 key pieces are listed as essentials down the first column, and the first 15 outfits are marked by X's for the essentials. Some of these are obvious combinations that you've surely tried before while others may be more surprising or may push you out of your wardrobe comfort zone.

But everything is worth a try! Your wardrobe is the one thing you get to do every day that is creative. To download a PDF of this chart, head to the "Freebies" page. I've included some pictures below of different outfits featured in this capsule wardrobe. Send me pics of different ways you featured these outfits using your 12 key pieces.
