I didn’t realize when I even “completed” this. It just sort of happened. I like my clothes relaxed I think it’s just taking the time to get to know yourself and figure out what you feel most comfortable in, and not what’s “hot” at the moment. Besides, by being comfortable in your clothes (and they don’t have to be expensive) does wonders for your self confidence.

I have never had so much fun making a list of things I like and screen capping cute outfits online. Anthropologie is one favorite perusing spot. And I am more happy to go thrifting now – found some pretty incredible deals – I get complimented all the time on pieces I found at goodwill and my secret thrift haunts. ;p I don’t get all my pieces there, but it is a thrill to find something with a similar look for a fraction of the price!

What also helps is a list I’ve kept for the past 5 years (I know, it sounds extreme but is really easy, actually). It documents every clothing item that’s been purchased by me (or gifted to me). I mark through the items I gave away (to friends or goodwill, b/c I don’t wear them) and I also highlight favorites that I wear ALL THE TIME. That was the best guide. Kinda weird, because you get to discover another side of yourself.
