ABOUT MY CHANNEL:
Hello there! My name is Fernanda and I started putting together Capsule Wardrobes for Project 333 back in 2015. Since then, I have completely rearranged my closet and now have a minimalist wardrobe, and I dress from a base of 15-piece capsule wardrobes every season that I put together with a simple capsule wardrobe formula. If you're looking to learn how to out together a capsule wardrobe, how to style few pieces for many different occasions, or how to include color and bold prints into your wardrobe, then I'm here to help!

I think I have my routine of picking out clothes to 17 minutes a week! I know this won't work for many, but I spend 10 minutes on Sunday night gathering 5 outfits for work. I hang them in a specific part of my closet. Then, every morning I take one minute to pick one depending on my mood and weather. Yes, sometimes by the end of the week I need to make an adjustment, but it usually works really well for me!
I sort of do this too as a mom of 2 babies under 2! I just take a glimpse at the week’s weather forecast, take a look at the laundry situation and then set aside some looks based on my plans. Takes about 5 min and then I might spend a few min making adjustments as the week progresses.
In my work years, I always had to look super-polished for my formal office. So, I always put together my outfit for each day the evening before, including underwear, shoes and accessories. I also dealt with the clothes I had worn that day, steaming/ironing, airing, polishing, as needed, or putting in the laundry, everything I had worn. On the weekend, I would spend a little time on wardrobe planning, repairs, etc., if necessary. It was a lifesaver in my super-early mornings, I needed to leave for the bus stop by 6:15 am. In those days, I had a light beer while doing that, and while starting dinner, but have long since stopped drinking.
I pre-plan for the entire week. Sometimes I switch the days, but it´s really an effective way to handle my style 💁🏻♀️ 😉
I recently did some interesting research and realized that I have three different style uniforms depending on the season. Winter- turtleneck cable knit sweaters, jeans and boots. Spring / Fall- Jeans, light sweater, blazer, Chelsea boots. Summer- capris, t-shirts and sandals. Once I figured this out going shopping each season became way easier. I know what I like, what looks good, and ultimately what I will wear which means I never waste money on the wrong clothes. Figuring this out has been a game changer for me!
Same here! In fall/winter: a knit wrap dress with leggings and boots, Summer: a button up dress in linen or a similar material, with a jacket if it's breezy or chilly.
Mine is dresses all year! And i live in Canada so yes even in the winter with warm tights! More specifically : wrap dresses above the knee, long sleeve or short sleeve, in deep winter colors!
That was a super helpful way to explain the style “uniform” in a way that makes sense! Identifying what mine is and being able to dress that up is immeasurably helpful! Thank you!
What an interesting concept! I feel like I wear anything that happens to call to me from my wardrobe that day, and there's a little bit of everything, but now I kind of WANT to find my "uniform". 😁
Now that I'm pregnant, my "uniform" is maternity leggings with a maternity cami and a big, oversized cardigan that covers my butt and keeps me warm since it's winter. This is just from necessity though. I will not spend a lot of money on a wardrobe that lasts just a few months. But when I was still working in an office, I wore mostly dresses, and depending on the season it would be with a pair of nice sandals, or with leggings and dress boots. I would love to return to dresses after the baby is born, even though I'm a stay-at-home mom now. I struggle matching separates, and a good dress feels like pajamas, while always managing to look romantic and pretty. I also don't personally think jeans are comfortable in comparison, and it's hard to find ones that fit just right.
I agree with you that dresses are super comfortable. I think knowing what works for you is half the battle, and if you already know that you fee put together and comfortable in dresses, then you're in a really good place. What about matching separates do you struggle with? Is it matching colors and textures, or styling them in a way that you feel looks good?
My personal uniform is tempersture / season dependent. Hot over 30C summer dress very thin dark sunsafe jacket shirt when necessary. 20 to 30C shirt and skirt . Shirts plain colours, skirts patterns features ( this helps body shape balance i have big shoulders and small hips) . Under 20C pinafore or skirt and vest
Fitted stretchy Henley or long sleeved polo shirt, baby boot corduroys, booties.
My go-to outfits/personal uniform include loose black printed t-shirts, high waisted jeans and combat boots or sneakers (for all seasons). In late spring and summer I also lean towards long sleeved white blouses and colorful maxi skirts.
When I don't feel like wearing my personal uniform and still don't want to spend a lot of time picking an outfit in the morning I'd really love to pre-plan it the evening before - I check the weather and then create most fitting combination, place it together on the chair or somewhere and then I can sleep 15 minutes longer! 😂
I not only have a style uniform: skinny jeans -top-(blazer) and dress, but I also have a colour uniform. Either grey+blush pink for very hot days or all black for the rest! Makes my life a hell lot easier and my wardrobe pocket friendly 🤣
I’m a huge fan of all black- it makes me feel like a ninja. I also looove the combo of blush pink + grey. I feel like it doesn’t look so good on me so I decorated a whole bedroom in those colors 🤣
@@vazq_Fernanda hahaha thats the way you keep the things you love! 🤷 😀 I love colours too but cant wear them because I get stressed so instead I paint with them 🤣 hi5 on that one!
The Queen has every umbrella band of color custom-tinted to match her outfit.
Really love your hair !
My summer uniform colors are navy, white, and denim, and for winter it is black, denim, and white. Sometimes a color tee/top is added in winter.
I just found your channel and I love it! Keep up the good work! Saludos desde Argentina
Amazing advice! I’ve been mostly sticking to a color pattern (black, white, navy, olive) but I will try to focus more on what I like about the pieces themselves.
Yes! Focus on cuts and materials also! A lot of the times those will give you the most information. I for example don’t like synthetics (acrylic or polyester) because they make me feel sweaty but cold at the same time.
You have very good videos. Thank you!
Love ur content
Love your video! Great help!
I’m so glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching 💕💜💕
Thanks Fernanda great advice made me think about this for sure.My uniform has 2 elements skinny or straight leg jeans /pants , non structured top and blazer on top, other days or special occasions a dress with or without a blazer .Lots of love from South Africa 😘❤
This is my favorite video on uniforms because you nailed the common elements in the examples! Honestly, I like my own uniform best but I don’t think it’s ideal. Basically, I relate to your uniform of the tank top (I need recommendations on the best tank tops,
Please!!! I have worn out my old Benetton ones and they were my favorites) but I wear an athleisure bottom and comfy shoes lol! I am working on easy ways to improve the aesthetics by adding accessories, blazer, etc.
Omg thank you so much!! Your the best sis
My pleasure!
That top color is beautiful on you. Again, smart content that is more attuned and easy to understand than others on this topic. Another "aha" video!
I'm so glad you find them helpful! These are my favorite kinds of videos to make.
I really enjoyed the advice with the laundry! So clever :D I recently identified my personal uniform and it's often a comfortable trouser (not jeans) with a cute top and flats or sandals. It's very valuable to know that, especially in unknown situations as you said.
Totally! Knowing it is half the battle, it also becomes easier to shop once you know what you are likely to wear often.
The laundry tip really was clever!
What if you dont have what you want? I find myself wearing work clothes on my farm and then when I go out a completely different look.
New subscriber! Now that I'm in my forties I want to "adult" my jeans/t-shirt/jogging shoes uniform. I'm trying to found my style... for now my uniform is skinny jeans/blouse/boots
Switching the shoes for something with a little more structure will make all the difference. You’re on track with the boots!
@@vazq_Fernanda thank you 😊 I'm using boots and ankle boots for the most part and I'm happy with the outcome. Now I want to try some pants that are comfortable for me like the jeans are
OK for a non-professional job interview.
Crank up the casual with a jacket/blazer/structured sweater and ditch the T-shirt. Go with a scoop next under the jacket.
Agreed about the jacket and sweater! And if you’re comfortable with lower necklines, then the scoop one for sure, but I would say, for those who are used to a crew neckline for either modesty or preference, maybe a collared shirt is better. The point is to not focus on your clothes and not feeling self conscious.
This was really interesting, and helpful! Of these examples I am partial to Marie Kondo's "uniform".
She’s so cute! She always looks super put together, and even though she is petite, her clothes always fit perfectly.
I love her uniform, too, I’m very much a blouse, skirt and blazer gal, or dress and blazer/cardigan.
This is so true Fernanda, I helped my daughter find & elevate her personal style from athletic to athliesure wear just last week! Unfortunately I haven't figured mine out? I do enjoy midi skirts, maxi skirts, camis, block heels, camouflage, & denim. It was great for summer but fall/winter not sure what to do? Any other suggestions? I don't like regular pants but own a few jeggings😊 Btw you nailed identifying those women's looks spot on!😄
It sounds like your uniform might be block heels, midi/maxi skirt, cami, and denim jacket :) for winter, you could wear tights if you don't like pants. Thick fleece tights work especially well for me in the winter.
@@haleypatillo Hi👋🏼 It's amazing how much my style is evolving living in a bigger city a whole year now. This winter I added @the knee length skirts 1 denim & 2 suede with black tights, a rose midi suede, blk & wht long sleeve body suits, long sweaters, 2 wool hats & boots of all lengths. I also gave in & got a button up pr Madewell Jeans, ordered a blk blazer & blk clogs. Gaining 10 lbs kinda pushed me to experiment. I did add a puff sleeve denim blazer from Macys & I do love it girl, thank you❣ Any tips for Spring?😍❤
Thank you for helping me clarify my thinking! I think my uniform might be knee-length knit fit-and-flare dresses with sandals and a cardigan. In the winter, I go for a thicker knit and pair it with black tights. The only problem is, I also like to wear straight-leg elastic-waist pants with turtleneck sweaters. What to do?
ETA: I wear solids only, and my colors are yellow, green, blue, and violet and my neutrals are white, gray, black, and navy.
I too have two style uniforms, which really does help! You have a lot of neutrals in your wardrobe, which makes it very versatile. You could also try an A Line skirt with a turtleneck for a combination of both your style uniforms with more outfit possibilities.
@@vazq_Fernanda Thank you! Yes, I often use full skirts as well- especially in the summer. The idea of having 2 uniforms really simplifies getting dressed for me!
I think I have basically dressed like this for a long time. Short sleeved t-shirt all year round, with pants in winter and maxi skirts in summer. Cardigans or light zip hoodies depending on weather and level of dress. But my problem is that I can't find a decent t-shirt, so I've been experimenting with other types of clothes and getting frustrated. Now I'm spending my efforts on just finding a t-shirt brand that actually fits. I think it will be more worth my time. My decade + old shirts are looking pretty worn, but unfortunately clothes are just not made to fit like they were back then. The search is on
What a coincidence, I literally just asked people to share where they buy T-shirts because I have the same problem! What brand are your older ones?
@@vazq_Fernanda My favorite older ones are American Eagle and Old Navy. I bought them in my late high school/early college days (late 00's before the oversized trend). But ever since oversized became "in", I haven't been able to find anything that flatters my shape! I am also trying to move toward more slow fashion brands. I just received my shirt from The Classic T-Shirt Company. The stitching is great, the fabric is beautiful, and the sleeves are a great length. But it's still cut straight down, which isn't ideal for my hourglass shape. I'll try the next smaller size (I already sized down 1) but I'm also looking into other brands. Fair Indigo is next on my list to try. These brands are both pricy, but I figure the price per wear from a t-shirt I love will make it worth it.
My personal wardrobe for work especially is a short sleeve blouse, jeans, a cardigan, and black shoes. Boring but I know it works the best for what I need it too!
It doesn't have to be boring.
You can always play with colors, textures, accessories. :)
Marie’s is closest to my own uniform of a dress most days, or skirt and blouse, worn with a blazer or other jacket.
Classic!
I'm just gonna wear mostly suede dusty rose flats, dresses, shirts and medium blue denim until people are tired of looking at it. 😂
My uniform is 3 pieces quite often jeans, a shirt or top, and a blazer or jacket. I wear 3 pieces because I have narrow shoulders and it creates balance for my body type. When it comes to summer, I find it more challenging because it is too hot to wear 3 pieces. Any suggestions? I usually look for interesting tops to put the emphasis on the upper part of my body.
Maybe you could look for a top that is structured like a jacket and wear it alone.
@@haleypatillo Not when it's 90 degrees!
@@sharonworyn1911 Hi Sharon, i also have to emphasize my shoulders (in Kibbe i am dramatic Classic). In summer it is really Harder to do that Like you wrote: i wear for instance Dresses + Tops with patterns (Most darker colours) + some of Them have loose/flowy (Not narrow) Short sleeves, o hope you understand. And on the Other hand, if i wear Neat Dresses/tops i Just (have to) accept my narrow upper body.
Did you discover maybe a matching top now? Greetings from Germany.
I love picking up my outfit for the day. It's part of my daily routine. It's very meditative - I check my mood, nature's mood (the weather), my schedule, and then pick my statement piece and build my outfit around it. I love my wardrobe, it isn't minimalist but it's curated, and there is nothing more important than feeling comfotable and confident the rest of the day. I gladly spend 10-20 minutes on that. Furthermore, I hate the word 'uniform'. All the associations it envokes are negative.
To each their own!
@@vazq_Fernanda Sorry, I forgot you are a 'capsule' wardrobe, minimalist-kinda, channel. Not a fashion one.
Influencers and bloggers keep saying, when they give their advice over what kind of pieces you should use to create a capsule wardrobe, that you should choose different styles to add variety to your modules. For example, if you need to add four tops, they all say you need to pick four different cuts/styles, otherwise you will end with wearing basically the same style over and over again. But usually, they say it as if it is a bad thing, explaining that probably you will get wardrobe boredom very easily.
At the beginning it seemed reasonable to me, and so i tried to diversify my items; but i must admit that it was not a success to me. I want very simple tshirts for my tops, but not button-downs for example. I never reach for other options, apparently i am perfectly fine with a very clean cut boat neck or round neck tshirt, the same one just in different colours. I was wondering if that might be considered a lack of fantasy, but as a matter of fact, this simply is my uniform. And you know what? If that makes me feel alright, that is all that matters 😁😁😁
As always, thank you for opening my eyes and giving me food for thoughts. You are a precious person❤️
I have to say, I do agree with that advice - but as with all advice, you have to know what works for you and what wouldn't. I do need variety in my wardrobe, otherwise I get a bit bored, but it does help to understand what makes you comfortable. I have two personal uniforms, and they change with the season, so that helps mitigate wardrobe boredom.
❤️
That unfair moment when you love layers and jackets and blazers but you live in a tropical climate 😢
wow you are so pretty and cute like
Thank you 🤗
New top?
No, actually, it’s from a few years ago. It’s just in my ‘good tops for videos’ rotation :)
I’m a 45yr SAHM who now uses a wheelchair. I used to love fashion. Now I don’t know WTF to wear.
