Kickstart a Capsule Wardrobe: How Two Chic Pieces Unlock Endless Outfits
We all know hot sex takes effort. Hot sets? Not so much. Think of these capsule kickstarters as the quickie your closet actually needs—adding instant spark to your style. Do you want a new wardrobe? Start smaller. Kickstart capsule wardrobe sets—just two chic pieces styled as one outfit—are the two-piece trick that lays the foundation for dozens of looks. It’s a DIY capsule wardrobe formula: add seasonal layers, pair with new finds or old favorites, and suddenly your closet choreographs itself into endless outfit options. From workdays to weekends, these starter sets prove you don’t need more clothes—you just need the right starting point.
My first viral video was an entire capsule wardrobe I created with fashion finds from Target. I was homebound for NY fashion week this year, so I channeled my stylist’s superpowers and created a brand new designer-inspired fall fashion capsule wardrobe, only using pieces from Target. Try this designer-inspired denim hack and use the two capsule wardrobe kickstarters I found to recreate this capsule for yourself.
Bucket List Brand Inspiration
The best capsule wardrobes include a high-low mix of brands, always drawing inspiration from designers on my brand bucket list and proven labels everyone loves.
✨ That’s a savings of $11,923.02 for looks that give you the same vibe!
You’ll never regret investing in a well-chosen designer accessory. A beautiful bag or signature sunglasses will be part of your wardrobe forever. The styles don’t have to be “classic”, but they should always mimic your personal style. I love using designer inspired accessories to try a trend or as place holders for my bucket list brands.
HOT SETS
Red Hot
These stretchy, wide-leg red jeans and bubble hem top with an open back were my Holy Chic Haute Mama Look of the Day for church on Sunday. You can copy this combo in of your favorite colors. It’s still warm here so I’m rotating between a few light weight layers over top including a striped lady jacket, leopard print cardigan, and short sleeve denim jacket.

Winter White
This combination looks chic all year long and is easy to transition from summer to fall with different shoes and heavier layers. The tie neck top I’m wearing in this video is on sale here. I’ve linked more of my favorite flattering winter white jeans from Paige, Gap, Fidelity and Rag & Bone along with my current cream of the crop when it comes to tops.
Brown is the New Black
A chocolate brown top and bottom is my most popular kickstart combination. I shared some outfit ideas using this combination as the base during the during Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. You can still shop for some of the outfits here.
