Ever thought about creating a capsule wardrobe? Ever thought about getting rid of all the cheap clothes sitting in your closet and investing in items from small, sustainable businesses, that will last (and stay on-trend) for the next ten years?

Today's chat with Cladwell Founder & CEO, Erin Flynn, addresses how to go about that process, and how she went about it just five years ago from 450 items in her closet. Surprisingly, it's not as complicated as you might think and it's ever-evolving! So you never have to have your capsule wardrobe perfectly down- it's constantly a learning process.
