When I get in a fashion rut, I like to go back to basics. I often get stumped when I have too many options and start overthinking. I can fall victim to the classic paradox of a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear.

This spring, to combat my usual between-seasons rut, I'm spending the month of April selecting from a 20 piece capsule wardrobe. I'm hoping this will remind me how many pieces I love in my closet, and help me let go of all the things I don't love quite as much.
