Picture this: you’ve just finished your morning routine. You’ve showered and have your coffee in hand, and you’re ready to conquer the day! But when you stand in front of your closet to get dressed… you freeze. When you start thinking about what to wear, you clam up. You immediately go into fight or flight! I promise you – it’s not that complicated: here’s why you’re overthinking getting dressed. (Seriously. Stop overanalyzing it!)
In all seriousness, I know that getting dressed can feel really overwhelming. A lot of my clients come to me because they feel powerless, and they need some guidance. But you can break through this constant cycle of overthinking! And you just have to figure out what’s causing it. I’m going to walk you through three of the most common reasons I see with my clients. Then, I’m going to give you some tips to help you out! Let’s get you out of this funk!
It’s Not That Complicated: Why You’re Overthinking Getting Dressed
- Your closet is overstuffed. This is the most prevalent issue I see with my clients. You’re hanging onto items that you haven’t touched or worn in YEARS. Start clearing out the excess, my friend! I bet there are 6 different versions of you in that closet. But I promise you – you don’t need to hang onto all of their outfits. (A great way to streamline your wardrobe is with my Virtual Shopping Capsule – contact me today to learn more!)
- You don’t have enough basic items! This is something ALL women are guilty of! However, it’s especially true of women with artistic and dramatic styles. You always need quality basic items to help pull an elevated look together. So stop buying trends and start investing in your foundations!
- Your body has changed! As women, we’re naturally going to go up and down the scale at different stages of our lives. Therefore, we have to commit to dressing well no matter the number! I strongly consider this a form of self care. Honor and accept your body and what she does for you by investing the time and money into new items that flatter where you are NOW.
I wholeheartedly believe in you, and that you can stop overthinking! But the work will come from YOU. I’m here to give you the tools – but it’s you who has to implement them! (Want to get your styling business off the ground and help others implement these tools? Let’s chat!) You’ve got this. Let’s level up how you show up!
