Simplicity

I'm slightly obsessed with the idea of a capsule wardrobe, clothes that all mix and match. A similar idea that appeals to me is a "French" wardrobe. The idea is that French women are so utterly chic they base their wardrobe on about 5 high quality basics. This might be a grey pencil skirt, black dress pants, a white button down, a cream turtleneck, a navy cardigan for example. Then each season they update with a few trendier items. I love this idea, both for the elegance of wearing classic pieces and the simplicity. I have such a tiny closet that a small, ultra functional wardrobe would suit me very well.
