30 Outfit Ideas for a 15-Piece Wardrobe
A few weeks ago, I posted a video in which I shared the simplest formula for creating a Capsule Wardrobe. Since I posted it, I got a couple of requests from viewers.
First, some people asked to see the outfits that could be created from that 15-piece wardrobe, so I’ve taken some time and created a new video showing 30 outfits for using only that capsule. There are many more outfit combinations that can be created than what I show in the video, but you guys get the idea. The more versatile the pieces you select, the more combinations you can put together. Let me know if there are any combinations you think I missed - I can always share those on Instagram.
The second request that I got was to link to the stores where I had purchased the items, so you could get them for yourself. I have to admit that some of these pieces have been in my wardrobe for a long time and it may be tricky to find the exact ones. Nonetheless, I’m linking some items for you guys below.
I would like to mention that I very rarely pay full price for any item of clothing that I purchase. If I like something, I’m a big fan of the ‘browse-and-put-it-in-the-cart-but-don’t-purchase’ online shopping technique. I either wait for it to go on sale, or I let the internet cookies do their job and track me a couple of days later with a discount code, usually presented to me on Instagram. I know people are concerned about privacy (rightfully so), but I find cookies extremely helpful for getting what I want for a lower price, or for finding a similar item when I don’t want to spend the time looking. Just a thought.
Here is a closeup of the waterproof booties. I highly recommend them!

What I love about capsule dressing is that I am more likely to wear the items I select in many more ways than I would have otherwise, and that in turn makes it significantly faster for me to get dressed in the morning. I hope this video inspires you to discover new outfit combinations with your own clothes, and to shop with your existing wardrobe in mind.
Please feel free to share any comments, questions, or photos of your outfits - I would love to see them! You can reach me on this platform, via the YouTube Channel, or on Instagram (@vazq_fernanda). Thanks for watching!
