Additional Tips for Owning Your Style

Style isn’t something you chase—it’s something you claim. The more you define what works for you, the less noise you hear from trends, opinions, or fashion rules.

If you’re already working with staples, refining your look, or exploring your personal aesthetic, here are some extra tips to help you step into your style with ease and ownership.

Refine Your Signature Look

Your signature look isn’t a uniform—it’s your style shorthand. It makes dressing easier and helps others remember you.

  • Identify your favorite outfit combos and repeat them
  • Use one go-to color, shape, or detail consistently
  • Think about your ‘always’ pieces (e.g., hoops, loafers, red lip)
  • Update the formula seasonally to keep it fresh

Edit With Intention, Not Emotion

Closet editing should feel like a strategy—not a guilt trip. Let go of what no longer aligns with the life you’re building.

  • Remove pieces that don’t fit your current season or goals
  • Let go of anything you haven’t worn in 12+ months (with rare exceptions)
  • Sort by vibe: confident, neutral, or ‘meh’—keep only the first
  • Store or donate things that distract from your core look

Style Your Mind First

What you believe about yourself shapes what you wear. Confidence starts in your thoughts, not your mirror.

  • Practice outfit affirmations: ‘I wear what reflects my energy’
  • Notice how you stand, move, and speak in your favorite looks
  • Don’t wait for a certain size or season to express yourself
  • Use clothing to step into the identity you’re growing into

Experiment Without Losing Direction

Trying new styles doesn’t mean abandoning your essence. Smart experimentation is focused, fun, and feedback-driven.

  • Try new shapes in your trusted color palette
  • Borrow a bold piece and wear it 3 different ways
  • Photograph your looks and review what works
  • Ask: ‘Does this amplify or dilute my identity?’

Try This Instead

If you’re second-guessing your style, pivot with purpose:

  • Swap ‘What’s trending?’ → ‘What’s true for me?’
  • Swap impulse buys → planned, repeatable choices
  • Swap styling stress → outfit formulas that feel like you
  • Swap identity chasing → identity claiming
  • Swap ‘when I lose weight’ → ‘right now, as I am’

Takeaway

Your style is your voice—visualized. The more you refine it, the less you’ll need to explain who you are. Show up as the woman you already are—and let your wardrobe remind you daily.
