Let’s talk about fashion and personal styles. I did mention I wanted to work on myself but not only internally but the exterior. In the past few weeks I’ve been spring cleaning and donating every drab piece of clothing Irene in my closet so that I can’t start over. I know it’s not always financially sound to do a reboot and spend on a new look but this transition made me think strategically about achieving the goal of re-vamping my Wardrobe and ona budget. But how did I go about doing that was the big question I had for myself. YouTube university helped me recognize my style and where I wanted to shop. Below I’ll breakdown what my personal style is, what’s a capsule wardrobe, why being fashionable isn’t necessary to look stylish and how I styled some of the pieces I picked up so far. So let’s jump right in.
Do you know your personal style?
Having a personal style is unique to you and what makes you feel like your walking on cloud 9. My personal style has been lacking for decades, lol, I mean I wore the wrong fitted denim, oversized dresses that didn’t complement my shape and it was just awful . Somehow I still managed to try and create my own style with what I had. I knew I loved dresses and some skirts, but the denim was not where it was at for me. I had a tummy and I was constantly bloated so everything made me look pudgy, and I stop wearing jeans until recently. Since I started managing my diabetes through diet and exercise I lost a ton of weight, see the before and after below. Now after all the weight began to come off what do I do with all the oversized clothes in my closet. That’s where looking for my style began to transpire.
What is a capsule Wardrobe?
By definition a capsule wardrobes is, “a collection of clothing that is composed of interchangeable items only to maximize the number of outfits that can be created.” I’ve included some mod boards with different capsule options. In my opinion, it can be created by color palettes, seasonal, trends and personal neeeds. For myself, I choose to start over with everything based on my weight loss. My inspiration came from YouTube influencers and different ideas searched on Pinterest. Once I figured out what I was looking for I began to build my new and improved wardrobe. It’s an on going process but I’m enjoying the process as it’s allowing me to reconnect with my personal style.

I’m not fashionable but I love fashion?
You don’t have to be fashionable to love fashion, I’ve had this thing in my head that I’m order to love fashion I had to be fashionable, that’s not true. We’re all fashionable in our own right, some of us love vintage, modern, what’s on trend and others just aren’t aware of how to put outfits together after they’ve shopped for clothing. I was that girl. I knew what fashion trends were in, but no matter when I shopped I went back to the frumpy dark vibe because I was not seeing myself clearly. I couldn’t see myself in these clothing, until finally I did. I knew what I liked to wear and all I had to do was start shopping for fashionable pieces and clothes that fit my body type. Now that was hard in the denim department, but it’s where you shop for good denim that will make you feel happy.
