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.
