Chloe and I have been talking about our style icons.

Not imitation but inspiration.

Chloe is currently geeking out on Audrey Hepburn – graceful and classy. And I’ve been enjoying playing with a sort of half Katharine Hepburn, half Debbie Harry thing – elegant trousers meets rockstar.

We’ve both been loving the pared down accessories – because we’re continuing with this whole 33 item wardrobe thing – and practicality… easy flats, boots, and booties. And after having done our first Project 333, we’ve learned loads about what works and what doesn’t with our bodies and lifestyles.

So wait… why are we talking about clothes again? It may sound counterintuitive, but we actually encourage you to think less about them, by paring them down. We’re reveling in this newfound freedom, ease, and fun, so we’re hoping to inspire you, reader.

Now, just really quick…

When starting a capsule, it’s helpful to select your key pieces first. Choose pieces that you love, and that go with (almost) everything, and then from there, you can mindfully add in other pieces to match your base pieces. As such, today’s video is all about our fave pieces that we’re using to start build our capsules!

Are you paring down, too? Any ideas for us or our readers? Please leave them in the comments below. We’d love to hear from you. For example, who’s your style icon?

Have a lovely, minimalist weekend,
