While I had recently cleaned out my closet, I did go through it again to choose my current capsule wardrobe, which mainly consists of wide-leg trousers, a leather jacket, a white turtleneck sweater, two button-down shirts, a pair of ankle boots, and a red handbag. But over the past few years, as my closet started to overflow in my New York City apartment, I heavily edited my wardrobe, an exercise that both hurt me (many of those clothes had been with me for years) but also gave me a clean slate to play with an updated palette, as Welch attests in her class.
