Ep 153: Creating a Capsule Wardrobe for Kids with Kara and Nicole from Hand Me Up
If you have young kids, you know how quickly they grow - especially out of all of their clothes. A game-changer in our home was our embracing of the capsule wardrobe - not just for me, but for our daughter too.
The idea that you can mix and match everything in her closet just makes everything better.
This simple trick can make your mornings easier, save you tons of money, do good things for the environment, and make your kids happier. You’ll wonder why you didn't try a capsule wardrobe sooner.
But, if you are new to capsule wardrobes it can be difficult to know where to start.
My guests this week on the Wannabe Minimalist podcast are here to help us with the why, what, and how of creating a wardrobe that you and your kids love - all from the comfort of your home.
Yep! You heard me right…no shopping involved. Whoo hoo!
Longtime friends of over 20 years, Kara and Nicole, have seen each other through many ages and stages of life, navigating high school, college, married life and now motherhood.
They are tackling the issue of the overwhelm of growing kids with piles of clothes and the growing environmental issue of textile waste through their company, Hand Me Up.
Hand Me Up is a unique e-commerce shopping experience that simplifies shopping secondhand for busy families through curated mix & match capsule BAGs of kids' clothes.
