Can you relate to the following scenario more often than not?
Nothing seems to fit.
It's morning and you've tried so many things on and it's all on the bed (& the floor) not on your back.
You can't even remember what's at the dry cleaners & you are about to scavenge through the laundry basket.
Basically, what were you thinking when you bought all these clothes?
Even worse, why did you buy so much loot which doesn't fit, doen't make you look good nor feel good about yourself?
SCENARIO #2
In contrast, how often can you relate to this scenario?
When you need to look extra smart at work, you reach for your favourite navy suit. On normal days you mix & match the pants, skirt and jacket with other items you have. On casual Friday, you wear the jacket with jeans (or the pants with a denim jacket). For that last minute invite to dinner with friends, you pop on the LBD of that suit and a denim jacket with a couple of nana's sparkly brooches and you're ready. You have ballet flats, low heel pumps & high heel pumps, all in black, which are at the ready for anything.
These clothes are go-to clothes for you. You know they make you look good and when you wear them, your confidence goes up and you can enjoy yourself without feeling self conscious.
Wouldn't it be great if you could be in scenario #2 all of the time (or most of the time)?
That doesn't mean we all need a LBD or a navy suit in our closet. Far from it. You can substitute pieces which are your go-to items based on your lifestyle, body shape, height etc.
Scenario #2 is definitely possible for most western women who have a job or are capable of getting one.
However, & it's a big however, if you're not already there now, you need to make some changes. After all, if you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.
In a series of posts, Style into Action will give you a full proof checklist which will allow you to get to scenario #2.
The checklist is designed to be applied to every potential purchase so that you can weigh up whether the item needs to be in your closet.
The checklist requires you to make some hard decisions about who you are and more importantly, who you want to be.
Are you ready?
