Pinterest is full of suggested capsule wardrobes for 30-somethings. Nine times out of 10, they are full of the most boring clothes imaginable. Yes, a beige trench coat is a great purchase. It's useful to have a pair of black dress pants on standby. But just because you're not in your 20s anymore does not mean you have to start dressing like the Duchess of Cambridge if you don't want to. She actually does have rules to follow (the queen is strict on hemlines!). You don't, so put down that little black dress if you'd prefer the red one instead. Don't let the fun police tell you that cat-print dress is off limits if you love it. And don't buy a "crisp white shirt" if you know you'll never wear it.
