Weight loss /thrifted/charity shop capsule wardrobe

Hello . I'm currently losing weight and have a lot to lose so I am going to shrink out of literally all my clothes. I've been considering using it as a time to reinvent my wardrobe and have always loved capsule wardrobes. I was thinking of waiting until absolutely necessary to replace each item and then buying from charity shops/returning when they become too big. Has anyone managed to do a capsule from charity shops? There's a great thread on here that I love about a woman who used a spreadsheet to track her wishes and purchases so was thinking of doing something similar but will the charity shopping make that impossible due to the random nature of the clothes or should I build the wardrobe ideas first then search the charity shops for what I need? Anyone done similar?

I think that you should leave the capsule wardrobe till you get to goal where you can create your capsule wardrobe for the long term rather than the short term. It means that you can really invest in pieces new and preloved knowing they are going to be in your wardrobe for a long time. Maybe concentrate on what you already wear a lot for example jeans and buy preloved and then really go to town when you are at goal!
