"By the numbers, I am getting rid of 2 bulky, navy-blue, shapeless, cowl-necked sweater dresses; 3 bridesmaid dresses; 18 ripped/broken garments (what is wrong with me?!); and 36 things that I can confidently say I haven’t worn for the last year at least.

I have not been intentional with my purchases over the years. I’ve been consuming blindly, and my number one hope for this capsule wardrobe is that it will make me a more conscious consumer."
