Why I made this
At 46, I stood in front of my closet and realized it was full of a bunch of hodgepodge pieces. I liked them. I just didn't know how to put any of them together. I wanted to get it figured out before my birthday, so I could walk into my next year feeling a little more pulled together and a little more 'adulty.'
I spent most of my 30s pregnant, breastfeeding, or in workout clothes. Getting dressed meant whatever was clean and comfortable, and honestly, that was fine for that season of life. Then perimenopause started, and everything kind of went into survival mode.
Now I'm at a point where I want to start looking and feeling more polished. And I realized I had no idea where to begin.
I knew I wanted to start with the pieces I already liked and curate from there.
I didn't want to hire a stylist who was going to give me their opinion about what they thought I should wear. I wanted to figure out what I love and build on that.
So I tried the clothing apps. They put together the most horrendous combinations. I couldn't find what I needed and wanted anywhere.
So I decided to make it.
And let me be clear: I'm not a stylist. I don't think you should have to feel like one just because you want to dress nice.
You shouldn't have to be a stylist to look and feel your best.
It starts with what you already own. The pieces you love are the starting point, not a problem to fix.
It helps you find your style. Not mine, not a stylist's, not a trend's. Yours.
It's honest. If it's not a hell yes, it's a hell no. But it's always just an opinion, and the final call is always yours.
It works for real life. Whatever season you're in, and whatever size you are this month.
Getting dressed should be the fun part. I hope this helps you fall back in love with what's already hanging in your closet.
