Closet Reset Day 3 | Defining Your Personal Style

Welcome to Day 3 of your Closet Reset Journey! Today we’re moving away from the physical task of sorting our clothes and into the creative exploration of your personal style.

Rediscovering your personal style is about defining 1) what you like and 2) what’s practical for your life. Fast fashion (and even small batch fashion) can create a sense of FOMO. Getting clear on your style will make it easier for you to select clothing without causing decision fatigue. Because all your choices will be based on clothes that will fit into your lifestyle – not the other way around. 
 
STEP #1: Journal your thoughts 
We created some questions for you to brainstorm. The idea is for you to generate some ideas and keywords that will help you create a mood board. Go deep or keep it light. Here’s some workshop questions for you to hone in on your personal style: 
  • What colours am I naturally drawn to? (If you’re on our Tiktok algorithm, you know there’s a huge push around choosing based on colour theory – but we believe in keeping it simple. What colours make you feel like yourself when you reach for them?) 

  • What clothes in my closet do I currently wear all the time? And why?

  • What were the last two purchases I made – and why did I buy those pieces?

  • What does a typical day look like? What am I doing and where am I going?

  • What’s a trend I’ve loved? And why?

  • What’s a trend I’ve disliked? And why?

  • Is there a celebrity/influencer/or friend who’s personal style you love? Why?

  • What’s an aesthetic/vibe you’d like to bring into your style? Get aspirational.

  • Is there anything you feel is missing from your current wardrobe?

  • Recall your GOODBYE PILE – is there a common theme in what you’re getting rid of? 

STEP #2: Create a style moodboard 
After your brainstorm, we recommend making a Pinterest board – search keywords from your brainstorm with the word “style” and pin what resonates. This board can be like a guidepost if you ever feel lost about what you want to buy.
