The moment after getting dressed is ALWAYS a mood lifter for me. No matter how I feel when I get up in the morning, putting the right outfit together always makes me feel good.

What you wear should feel authentic to your personality and lifestyle. You get to dictate the message that you want your presence to communicate to the world.

Most importantly, the clothes you wear should make you feel good.

This can be tough – especially if you:

•Don’t know the ideal fit(s) for your body type

•End up buying the same styles in the same colours over and over again, despite the underwhelm you feel when you bring them home

•Feel overwhelmed when shopping, and with your closet, and you have a tough time putting outfits together

Some mindful tips to streamline your process:

Learn your body-type. We all have different body proportions- find out what yours are, and buy and wear pieces that help to balance them out. You’ll notice an immediate shift in your overall aesthetic.

STOP buying pieces for just one occasion. Your closet will, and is probably already overflowing with clothing that doesn’t align with your lifestyle. And all those pieces are just sitting there causing overwhelm every time you look at them.

Instead, invest in dressier timeless pieces that are more versatile as opposed to “trendy”. With the right accessories, you’ll never have the same look.

Clean out your closet, or hire someone to do it for you. Donate pieces that don’t fit, or don’t make you feel good when you wear them. Your clothing should make you feel confident.

PRO-TIP

If you don’t LOVE it, have 2 or more of a similar item, and if you can’t think of 3 ways to wear it, DON’T BUY IT.
