【極簡生活】膠囊衣櫥大作戰～秋季篇
This fall, I have decided to take on the "Capsule Wardrobe" challenge.
For those who have known me for a long time probably knows that I used to be a shopaholic. I LOVE buying fashion items. Clothes, bags, shoes, accessories. All of the above. But as I grow older (and wiser, I hope) I started to invest in high-quality (a.k.a expensive and luxurious) leather goods, so I find myself stop purchasing bags and wallets because I realize nothing can compare with the quality of the ones I'm currently using; and the fact that I just can't afford to buy so many luxury products!
早年認識我的人大概都知道我年輕時期非常愛買。舉凡衣服、包包、鞋子、配件等，能買得我都愛買。但隨著智(ㄋㄧㄢˊ) 慧(ㄐㄧˋ) 漸長，我開始把錢投資在高單價(同時也是高品質)的精品皮件。自此之後，我發現我對於相較便宜且品質欠佳的包包皮夾等的購買意願變得非常低，因為好與不好的皮料品質真的非常明顯，而拿過好東西之後，真的很難回頭！另外，我也發現因為本人真的財力不夠雄厚，名牌精品不是想買就能買，所以購買皮件的次數也就大大地減少了。
With the arrival of both my kids, I start to "invest" in their clothes, and those tiny clothing have taken up the majority of my closet space! So while I was organizing their winter clothes, the idea hit me "Why don't I try capsule wardrobe this coming season?"
I have seen so many pins on Pinterest about this concept, and I guess minimalism is quite suitable for me now, as a mom of two. So I took out all the clothes I have for fall/winter, and I kept the below and let's see how it would go:
生了兩個小孩之後，我更是把錢花在他們倆身上。更慘的是，他們的衣物雖然體積小歸小，但也慢慢偷偷地霸佔我的衣櫥！所以，今年換季邊整理他們衣服的時候，我突然想到「幹嘛不趁今年來試試看膠囊衣櫥呢？」
我在 Pinterest 已經看過許多跟 capsule wardrobe相關的文章，我也覺得身為兩個孩子的媽，簡約生活的概念確實很值得一試。於是我把所有秋冬的衣服拿出來檢視一圈，僅留下以下這些單品，試試看到底可不可行：
6 TOP 上衣

Although I still have quite a few other items (including both clothes and accessories,) I am limiting myself to these pieces to see if I can survive. So far I have followed the plan for almost 2 weeks, and it actually feels more than enough. I become more rational when it comes to shopping and buying new items. I start to consider if the desired piece can fit with what I already own.
My ultimate goal is really just to declutter my home and keep the essentials. If my Capsule Wardrobe succeed, I might as well start upgrading some of my clothing pieces too!
Let's see if I can keep up with the Capsule Wardrobe this fall. Wish me luck!
雖然我還有不少衣物可以穿 (畢竟我還沒狠下心來全扔了！) 但我限制自己只用這些單品來試試看是否能撐過這一季。目前已經兩週了，我發現其實還蠻充裕的！對於要購入新品的時候，腦子也變得比較實際，會不時考慮新單品是不是能跟現有的衣服、鞋子來搭配。
我最終的目標是希望能保留少量的重要衣物單品，讓家裡更簡潔。如果我能夠成功以膠囊衣櫥度過這一季，我想接下來就能夠讓我的衣物質感再升級了吧！
祝我好運！
