Hi Friends!

I'm excited to introduce the Closet Challenge as a bonus to this week’s style guide! This series will continue for 8 more weeks, designed to help you refine your personal style and give you practical tips for building your dream wardrobe.

As you curate your inspiration boards on Pinterest, I’ll be sharing some of my favorite outfits to keep the creativity flowing. For instance, here’s some midi skirt inspiration I’ve saved on Pinterest as a go-to reference for my own looks!

After completing this week’s challenge, you can use your Pinterest board for inspiration to recreate the outfits with pieces from your own closet, making shopping even easier. Here are the links to help you replicate the outfits above:

Week 2: Define Your Personal Style

Objective: This week’s focus is all about self-discovery. Your goal is to define a personal style that resonates with who you are and where you want to go with your wardrobe. This is an essential foundation for creating a wardrobe you love.

Steps:

  1. Create a Mood Board:

    • Use Pinterest, Instagram, or even a physical collage from magazines. Create a board specifically dedicated to your style inspiration. Look for outfits, individual pieces, and even aesthetic vibes that catch your eye.

    • Pay attention to repeating themes like certain colors, silhouettes, or fabrics. You might find that you're drawn to structured pieces, bohemian prints, minimalist styles, or a mix of genres.

  2. Reflect on What Inspires You:

    • Once your mood board is complete, write down the answers to these questions:

      • What colors appear most often?

      • What types of clothing (blazers, dresses, jeans) keep showing up?

      • Do you prefer a more classic, modern, or trendy look?

    • Write down three to five words that describe the overall vibe of your style board (e.g., chic, relaxed, bold, minimalistic).
