Why Now Is the Time to Shop Your Closet First

You’ve probably noticed it, too—shopping feels a little different right now. Whether it's prices, overwhelming options, or simply shifting priorities, this is the perfect moment to pause and look inward... at your own wardrobe.

Before heading to the stores (or clicking “add to cart”), take some time to revisit what you already have.
Try this:

  • Pull out pieces you love but haven’t worn in a while

  • Create new combinations with different vibes—dress it up, dress it down

  • Style that item you bought on a trip and always struggled to wear

  • Mix colors or layers in ways you haven’t before

You might be surprised how much is already there, waiting to be rediscovered.

And then—shop with intention.
Look for what’s missing, what supports your lifestyle and style goals, and what you’ll feel excited to wear again and again.

Need help seeing your wardrobe through a trained eye?
That’s what Styling Hour is for—one hour focused on you, your pieces, and how to make them work for the life you live today.
