My friend, we have all been in a tough spot with our closets. Sometimes we’re wishing that we had that one specific item to complete an outfit. But then sometimes we want to start over completely! And while every woman probably needs both at some point in her life, chances are that you simply need one or the other at a time! Not sure which one would serve you? Then keep reading to see four questions to pinpoint your closet needs!
If you’re tempted to go for the overhaul option – don’t jump the gun just yet! You might have some great pieces that you can tie together with elevated basics. On the other hand, if your closet is hella outdated and nothing fits, then we need to talk about changing it all up!
Maybe your body has changed since the pandemic. Or maybe you’re just not feeling confident in your clothes anymore. And maybe you’re hesitant to make an investment in yourself. Whatever the reason, you know I’m always here to guide you, my friend. We’re going to level up how you show up together!
Here are the 4 questions you can ask yourself to pinpoint your closet needs:
- How do you feel about getting dressed in the morning? Do you find yourself absolutely dreading getting dressed? Does that feeling apply no matter whether you’re going to the office or working from home? My friend, you might be in need of an overhaul (and you should snag The Polished ID™ Playbook while you’re at it, too!). However, are these moments of frustration less frequent? Are you generally happy with what’s hanging in your closet? Then spice it up a little bit with some key pieces! (Click HERE to see some great basics for the Polished Woman!)
- Does your wardrobe reflect your lifestyle? Are you constantly feeling uncomfortable because you don’t have the right thing to wear for the right occasion? If you’re a working mom – can you go from work to carpool to making dinner in what you’re wearing? Do you have a lot of work events to attend, but not enough killer outfits to wear to them? Be honest with yourself about how comfortable and confident you feel as you go about your days. It takes a few key pieces to shift from day to night, but it takes an overhaul to be able to do it every day!
- Do your clothes fit? Covid did a number on all of us, and many of us don’t look or feel the same as we did pre-pandemic. I promise you, my friend – accepting your body for where it is and dressing it accordingly is a game changer. You will be so much happier wearing clothes that flatter you! Clothes are made to fit YOU, not the other way around. Clothes are powerful, but your choice to honor your body by dressing her how she deserves (which she always does, at any size!) is even more so. Don’t even think about the number on those jeans. Think about the feel! And then get to work finding a closet that fits and flatters you!
- Does your work wardrobe reflect your company and industry culture? Every office is different, and dress codes are all over the place these days. But you should still think about how you’re representing yourself all the time! This applies whether you’re in the office or working on Zoom! Remember that whether you’re working for yourself or someone else, you’re always representing a brand. Take a good, long look at your closet and ask yourself whether you can confidently say you are! (And if you’re not, you should be!)
