FISHERMAN'S DELIGHT | despite being born and raised in snowy Canada (yes, this has been brought to my attention more than once 🙄), I am ALWAYS cold. I currently have two heavy 100% wool sweaters in my winter capsule, including this @insidejigsaw fisherman's jumper in a classic navy colour. I absolutely love the flattering dipped hemline, and the high(ish) neck for increased snuggliness. Real wool does require a little extra care in the form of depilling/combing, but it's so warm, breathable, and won't hold stains or smells (which is great if you live in a small flat and love to cook with garlic 🤭)!

NEST | down with a cold and feeling sorry for myself today so I built a nest and downloaded a new Julian Barnes book. What are you reading?

BLUSH IS THE NEW BLACK | black is a staple in so many capsule wardrobes, but I look tired and unhealthy in colours that are too dark. In addition to mid-navy and (various shades of) grey, I've incorporated a lot of blush into my outfits. It looks great with other neutrals but also pairs well with my favourite statement colours. It's worth thinking outside the box when it comes to choosing your own capsule basics - black is great, but don't forget about underdog neutrals like camel, taupe, slate, beige, and blush which might be more flattering!

KEEP IT SIMPLE | have a great weekend, guys! I hope you get lots of "me time".

EUCALYPTUS | My bathroom is the only room in my house with no windows. It's very small and only gets natural light when the door is open - so not enough to keep potted plants happy! Instead, I put fresh eucalyptus cuttings in a vase. They look simple and sophisticated, and smell just like a spa. They also last for several weeks, so it's a cheap and easy way to keep your bathroom fresh! 🌿🖤

TBT | I've been wearing this scarf now for over 4 years. I use it as a traditional scarf, pashmina, blanket, travel pillow, and once to carry home a bunch of oranges 🍊when I forgot my reusable bag! Now that's functional fashion. 👊🏻 • • • • #slowfashion #sustainablefashion #10x10challenge #minimalism #minimalist #minimalista #outfitpost #softsummer #livefolk #simplelife #simplestyle #minimaliststyle #weeklyfashionedit #whiteaddict #plussizefashion #nordicstyle #scandinavian #ootd #unfancy #capsulewardrobe #capsulewardrobechallenge #essentials #project333 #mystyle #outfitoftheday #whatiwore #winteressentials #styleessentials #hygge #winterstyle

BODY CLOCK | If, like me, you’re trying to pay more attention to your body clock by building an afternoon power nap into your day, it’s best to schedule your break for some time between 1:00pm and 3:00pm when energy levels start to dip. And remember not to sleep for more than 30 minutes or you’ll wake up more tired and groggy than before! 🕜 • Check out my latest blog article for more surprising science-based, fad-free tips for a healthier 2018. • #thelitestyle #healthynewyear #healthyfood #newyearsameme #mentalhealth #watch #healthyeating #liebeskind #minimalistwatch #lowsaturation #minimalism #minimalist #germandesign #healthylifestyle #nutrition #sleep #linensheets #linenlove #lifestyleblogger #mentalhealthawareness #girlboss #10ksteps #simplestyle #kinfolk #naturalstyle #slowfashion #sustainablefashion #healthytips #minimalistjewelry #minimaliststyle

BASICS | my white boyfriend jeans and linen tees are part of my year-round capsule. I combine them with seasonal pieces for added interest or colour, but love how these basics work together. This time of year I usually add a heavy wool jumper or a winter parka and Chelsea boots (with cozy wool socks, of course!) 🧦 🖤 I watched a great video last night by YouTuber @useless_dk who does marvelous things with her neutral capsule. 🖤 If you're new to capsule wardrobing, or are just looking for some 😎 new capsule stylists to follow, check out her video on "The Perfect Basic Wardrobe". 🖤 And think of how much easier Monday would be if you could just mix and match your entire wardrobe! . . . 🖤 #minimalism #minimalist #monochromestyle #outfitpost #softsummerpalette #livefolk #simplelife #simplestyle #minimaliststyle #weeklyfashionedit #10x10challenge #plussizefashion #whitestyle #nordicstyle #sustainablefashion #slowfashion #ootd #unfancy #capsulewardrobe #capsulewardrobechallenge #essentials #project333 #canadianstyle #outfitoftheday #whatiwore #winteressentials #styleessentials #hygge #winterstyle

FLANNEL | welcome to the month of "flannuary" 😋 - these are the cold weather go-to tunics that make up most of my winter capsule wardrobe. I wear them with leggings, jeans ... pyjama bottoms 🙄. When I find something I love, I tend to stick with it; so when I visited Canada for Christmas, I discovered that @americaneagle was making these in my favourite soft summer colours - I splurged. Flannel is great because it's a warm, natural, breathable fabric which makes it great for walking outdoors in the snow, or snuggling up at home with a book, and the versatile length and cut means that I can build loads of different outfits with them. What are your favourite winter pieces? ❄️ . . . . #minimalism #minimalist #flannel #outfitpost #softsummerpalette #livefolk #simplelife #simplestyle #minimaliststyle #weeklyfashionedit #10x10challenge #plussizefashion #whitestyle #nordicstyle #scandinavian #flannelshirt #ootd #unfancy #capsulewardrobe #capsulewardrobechallenge #essentials #project333 #canadianstyle #outfitoftheday #whatiwore #winteressentials #styleessentials #hygge #winterstyle
