This was my favorite part, "My desire was simple: I wanted a closet that felt aligned with who I was and where I was at this stage of my life, a closet that felt wearable year after year." 👏🏼
Sana I’m going through your archive (creepy, sorry! 😂) and this post just SPOKE to me! For me - it’s neutrals and a capsule wardrobe. I hate neutrals, I love colour, and all that seems to be around is neutrals! I just find it so boring and so not me!
And then I’m so influenced by what I see on Instagram, so I buy it, even though actually - do I even like it? Is it me?
So for example, I’m in my mid 30s and I HATED the 90s trend the first time. (I thought I hated fashion when I was a teenager, but, no - I just hated the 90s. I’m livid that it’s back, tbh 😂)
I like colour and pattern, but I also like classic pieces like a black leather tote bag, suede black block heels, etc.
I’m now 35 and what I like is so different to when I was 30, even! And you’re so right - I just simply refuse to wear anything that’s tight or uncomfortable.
And totally agree about fabric composition - that has changed the game for me! Do you follow Andrea Cheong on IG? She was a great follow and I feel much more educated in my decisions!
Haha, no not creepy at all, I love doing deep dives on people/content I resonate with!.
I think a really good move is to streamline who you follow. Slowly curate a collection of people whose style, values, ethos you resonate with - make sure it includes several women who love colour and pattern, someone like Julia Berolzhiemer comes to mind, but there are so many. That way, you'll be less influenced towards colours and trends that you don't care for.
Going to look Andrea up because fabric is so important and I want to learn more.

Thanks for sharing what resonated with you. I genuinely wrote as honestly as I could about where I'm at now in my journey with my clothes. :)
