Establish A Plan

Before starting a capsule wardrobe, take into account your own personal preferences. You might not be able to follow exactly the 37-piece rule. Take a look at the pieces that you already own that could fit into your capsule wardrobe and make a budget for the remaining pieces. Make a plan of the possible outfits that you can make, that way it will be a lot easier to get dressed in the morning.
