Why Is Your Wardrobe Not Working For You? Real Life Tips To Recharge Your Personal Style.

I've been working as a wardrobe stylist for everyday individuals for almost seven years. Hearing people's stories and struggles has provided me with a solid understanding of what's truly happening in the world of style. And, I don’t mean how do I style this new $500 cashmere sweater I bought with The Row trousers I scored on The Real Real. (A link for those who have no idea what I am talking about haha.) I mean real life struggles, like “how do I look more put together?” and “how can I start to express myself with my style?” and “I feel like I have given up on my style and I don’t like what I see in the mirror.” These are the style challenges I am most frequently tasked with and, unsurprisingly, I have seen patterns in why people are struggling.

The New It Bag Is Here And It's Not What You Think

Women have been chasing the “It Bag” for decades. From the Chanel 2.55 bag of the 1950’s to today’s Marguax bag by The Row, everyone wants the bag that everyone wants.

By now you have probably heard of Marie Kondo, author of “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing” and creator of the “KonMari” organization method. Maybe you have watched her popular new netflix series. If so, I am betting you have already picked up an item in your home and asked yourself “does this spark joy?” I am not an expert on the KonMari method, but I use her folding methods and I believe in her message. I believe that we should start being more careful about clutter and about the items we allow in our lives. Because whether we want to accept it or not, things weigh heavily on our souls.

Do I need a Personal Style Uniform?

The idea of a “uniform” is getting a lot of attention in the fashion world lately. There doesn’t seem to be a real consensus on what a personal style uniform is, but reading through the articles it feels something like this…

A handful of coordinating neutral basics hanging in a roomy all white closet. Instagrammable street style star outfits every day. Happiness. Control. Organization. Minimalism. Never ever having to ask yourself “what am I going to wear” again.

Seductive, right?
