Mission: Women's Classic Style with a Capsule Wardrobe

So many women’s fashion blogs. But a search for “capsule wardrobe”on Technorati turns up nothing.

Well, it turns up three hits—one on packing effectively for travel and two dead links to an “inspired capsule” blog. Searches on "women's classic style” fashion, “women clothing classic,” and “women's fashion traditional” similarly turn up zilch.

Though entering “fashion classic style" brings up, among a bunch of not-on-point blogs about women's current fashion, A Suitable Wardrobe, a blog about “Classic Clothing and Accessories for Well Dressed Men.”

Sigh. What’s a girl to do?

I want to look good, and I want to do it without every morning turning into a “what can I wear today” scavenger hunt/panic attack. Putting outfits together doesn't come naturally to me, which is why I want a capsule wardrobe. And I'm totally juiced by Project 333, which helps you develop four seasonal wardrobes of 33 items each. (Did I mention that I'm totally envious of men's ability to be well dressed with just a few well-chosen items, a la A Suitable Wardrobe?)

So this blog will document my quest to develop my own capsule wardrobe. Just so you know, I’m middle-aged, overweight, white, cisfemale, and live in the Boston area. I favor a classic style, but I think the exercise of learning to develop a capsule wardrobe will be universally applicable.
