I’ve decided to slowly clean out my wardrobe and head toward something I’ve always admired but never fully committed to—a capsule wardrobe. Simple, streamlined, and (hopefully) stress-free.

My new base? Black, white, grey, beige, and sage. Those are the anchors. Clean, classic, and timeless. The fun and personality? That’ll come in the pops of color—shoes, bags, jewelry, and maybe a scarf or two when I’m feeling fancy.

This won’t be an overnight process. Nope, I’m treating it like weight loss—slow and steady, with a long-term goal. End target? Spring 2026. By then, I want to open my closet and see a curated little collection that makes getting dressed easy and packing for trips even easier.

Because honestly, how many times have I stood over my suitcase, thinking, “Why do I have twelve tops that don’t go with anything?” A capsule wardrobe fixes that. Every piece plays well with the others, and the extras are just sprinkles on top.

Travel has taught me that less really can be more—fewer decisions, fewer regrets, and more room in the suitcase for the good stuff (like souvenirs, let’s be real).

So, here’s to cleaning out, scaling down, and building a wardrobe that feels just as practical as it does polished. And if you see me in black pants and a sage sweater for the third time in a week? Just know my shoes are fabulous.

PS: I’ll probably start posting some clothes in a few months as I clean things out. I’d love to say shoes too, but come on—do y’all even know me? Shoes are sacred. They’re not going anywhere!

XOXO, Jani
