Seguro ya vari@s pensaron que estoy loca… yo misma lo pensé, pero este reto se me ocurrió porque con todo lo que estamos viviendo a raíz de la pandemia nos debe hacer cambiar nuestra forma de pensar y consumir. (Fue uno de mis objetivos desde que comencé el blog) No solo tenemos que pedirle a la industria de la moda que frene el fast fashion, sino nosotros tenemos que empezar por ser más conscientes de nuestras compras. El objetivo es tener prendas de mayor calidad que duren varias temporadas sin sacrificar estilo.
Happy Tuesday of an increasingly Christmas feeling! Today I’m sharing with you a challenge I’ll be doing and that excites me – and also makes me nervous – because it is the first time that I will try it. The challenge is to make a minimalist capsule wardrobe with 30 pieces that you can wear for 30 days! This includes clothing, shoes, accessories, and bags. The only thing that is not considered is underwear, pajamas, and exercise clothes (NOTHING ELSE).
Sure, some of you are already telling me are you crazy? … I thought so myself, but this challenge occurred to me because, with everything we are experiencing as a result of the pandemic, the way we think and consume must change. (It was one of my objectives since I started my blog) We not only have to ask the fashion industry to stop fast fashion, but we have to start by being more aware of our purchases. The goal is to have higher quality garments that last for several seasons without sacrificing style.
¿Qué es un armario cápsula?
Es una colección pequeña de ropa con un mix de tus prendas básicas y algunas de moda que te permita crear una buena cantidad de combinaciones para una o más temporadas. El objetivo es que ahorres y gastes menos tiempo decidiendo que ponerte (Bye bye a la frase “No tengo nada que ponerme”)Honestamente nunca he tenido un closet muy grande, pero jamás me imaginé usar tan pocas cosas. He leído mucho y un armario cápsula es una práctica más común en Europa así que me atreví a probar con un reto más agresivo escogiendo solo 30 piezas comenzando por usarlas durante un mes.
It is a small collection of clothes that includes a mix of your basic clothes and some fashionable ones that allows you to create a good number of combinations for one or more seasons. The objective is to save and spend less time deciding what to wear (Bye-bye to the phrase “I have nothing to wear”)
Honestly, I have never had a very large closet, but I never imagined using so few things. I have read a lot and it is a common practice in Europe so I dared to try a more aggressive challenge choosing only 30 pieces starting by using them for an entire month
¿Cómo crear un armario cápsula?
Hay armarios cápsula de 30 a 50 piezas, tu decides lo que te acomode más de acuerdo al clima del lugar donde vives y al tipo de actividades que tienes en tu día a día, no hay reglas. De tu closet escojes las prendas que más usas, y que amas porque las vas a estar usando mucho. También puedes incluir un par de prendas de moda que vayan con tu estilo y le den un twist a tus looks.Para escoger mís 30 piezas consideré que la mayor parte del tiempo estamos en casa por el COVID, pero que quiero mostrarles todo tipo de opciones que incluyan eventos, salidas de fin de semana, reuniones, etc. para cuando regresemos a nuestra vida más “normal” que espero sea pronto. Yo escogí lo siguiente:
There are capsule wardrobes from 30 to 50 pieces, you decide what suits you best according to the weather of the place where you live and the type of activities you have in your day to day, there are no rules. From your closet, choose the clothes that you use the most, and that you love because you will be using them a lot. You can also include a couple of fashionable clothes that go with your style and give a twist to your outfits.
To choose my 30 pieces, I considered that most of the time we are at home because of COVID19, but I also wanted to show you all kinds of options that include events, weekend outings, meetings, etc. for when we return to our “normal” life which I hope will be soon. Here is what I chose:
5 tops/blusas // 5 tops
5 pantalones/faldas // 5 bottoms
2 vestidos // 2 dresses
6 capas (suéteres/abrigos) // 6 layers ( sweaters and coats)
3 pares de zapatos // 3 pair of shoes
5 accesorios // 5 accessories
3 bolsas // 3 handbags
1 medias // 1 tights
Y listo! de verdad me emociona mucho hacer esto, quiero retar mi creatividad y poderles dar mis comentarios al final con más tips para que puedan hacer el suyo y que sea super efectivo.
Les haré un post a la mitad y otro al final con fotos de cada look y todos mis aprendizajes. No olviden dejar sus comentarios, preguntas y si se animarían a hacer conmigo el reto #30piezas30dias. Si quieren ver cómo armé el look día a día sigan mis Insta stories
A rule that I set to choose the pieces is that at least they had to combine in two different ways with the rest and preferably that they can be used in layers for the coldest days. Another thing I did was leave a space in my closet where everything would be together so that it would be easier for me to see what I have and combine it. Finally, although it is an autumn-winter season and the most common color is gray and black, I included some other colors because I love it and it is my personal touch.
And voila! I am really very excited to do this, I want to challenge my creativity and give you my comments at the end with more tips so that you can make yours and make it super effective.
I will make a post in the middle and another at the end with photos of each day and all my learnings. Don’t forget to leave your comments, questions, and if you would be encouraged to do the #30pieces30days challenge with me.
