If you’ve ever wished your wardrobe could just magically work together — like you could pull a few pieces and BAM, you knew how to mix and match them into tons of outfits without thinking — you’re gonna LOVE today’s post.

Today I’m showing you how I took just 9 pieces and turned them into 11 outfits. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve done one of these posts, but I live it in my life daily!

This is what having a mix-and-match wardrobe can do — turn just a few pieces into lots of of outfits, streamlining your wardrobe and your mornings. During my LIVE 5-day challenge, Capsule Wardrobe Week, I’ll walk you through EXACTLY how to mix and match your own clothes! (And yeah, it’s TOTALLY FREE this time!)

If you’re tired of:
👗 Staring at a packed closet, feeling like you have nothing to wear
🛒 Buying more clothes, but somehow, your outfits still don’t work
🧥 Pulling out the same 3 pieces over and over
🗑 Feeling guilty about all the stuff you never wear
⏰ Spending way too much time each morning just trying to pull something together

Then buckle up, friend! You’re about to see how fun and easy getting dressed can be when your wardrobe is set up to work with you, not against you. ✨ Let’s dive in!

How to Mix and Match 9 Pieces Into 11 Outfits

I based this on my free Starter Kit Wardrobe Guide, which I know a lot of you have downloaded. Today you’re seeing it come to life, live in action!

(And during the FREE Capsule Wardrobe Week, it’ll really, REALLY come to life as I walk you through exactly how to do it on your own!)

How to Mix and Match: What to Start With

Essentially, all you need to get started is:

• 2-3 bottoms
• 3-4 tops
• 1-2 layers (or none if it’s really hot! Add more tops instead, and you’ll have more outfits!)
• 1-2 pairs of shoes
• everyday accessories

For this specific starter capsule, I have 3 bottoms, 4 tops, and 2 layers. Just 9 articles of clothing — and, I’ll barely even use the layers in the outfits! Seriously, they’re completely optional, so this could really be “7 Pieces into 11 Outfits.” 🤩

Tips for a Mix and Match Capsule Wardrobe

If you want to know how to mix and match with the most ease, AND you don’t want outfits to be boring, here are quick tips:

Choose bottoms first.

Doing so gives you an anchor point from which to make the rest of your decisions. With your bottoms dialed in, you can then figure out tops and shoes that coordinate with the bottoms.

Focus on cohesive colors.

Have you struggled with that? I’ll show you my simple framework for colors during Capsule Wardrobe Week — that lesson was a highlight during the last challenge! It turned on lightbulbs for many of our participants! 💡

Include variety in your tops, mixing foundational and flair pieces.

And of course, if you’d like more guidance with that, I’ll walk you through it in detail during Capsule Week! It was another super helpful lesson for many of our past participants!

While these things may seem trivial, they will make it SO MUCH EASIER to create a wardrobe that mixes and matches. You’ll be shocked at how easy it seems!

How to Mix and Match: The Outfits

And finally, how to mix and match all of those pieces into outfits. Here are 11 outfits you can make from the 9 pieces I pulled together!

While I would LOVE to give you a step-by-step tutorial for how to mix and match, it is honestly so much clearer and more effective if I can walk you through it live / via video during the Capsule Week Challenge. I’ve been teaching style via blog content for almost 14 years and teaching via video for 5 years, and this is one topic that PMTers have grasped WAY better and more comprehensively via “live” teachings with me. (“Live” meaning when I can actually move and talk to teach you the process.)

So seriously, join us for the Capsule Wardrobe Challenge for the best way to see this all come together. And WHY NOT? It’s FREE this time! So save your free spot while you can!

After you walk through the process with me during Capsule Week, how to mix and match your clothes will feel pretty effortless. Really. Many of our past participants were mixing and matching on Day 2 like they’d been pros for years! (Honestly, I was floored, haha! And so happy for them.)

It really starts with building your wardrobe the right way. I’ll teach you how to do it inside Capsule Week!
