Goal Progress | Become a Well Dressed Woman
Today, I want to take you behind the scenes and provide a progress update on one of my annual goals: becoming a well-dressed woman. Initially, I planned to share this update exclusively with my mastermind sisters, but I realized that the goal and the steps I took to achieve it could be inspiring and beneficial to a wider audience. Whether you resonate with the goal or not, this post will focus on the process of defining, breaking down, and executing a personal style transformation. So, let’s dive in!
Defining the Goal
After spending a few years in sweatpants and loungewear due to the pandemic, I desired a wardrobe that aligned with my lifestyle, was budget-friendly, and reflected my personal style. The goal I embarked upon was to rebuild my wardrobe with classic pieces of good quality that would make me feel confident and help me effortlessly put together outfits each day.
Decluttering and Making Space
The first objective was to declutter my closet and make space for the pieces that truly resonated with me. I let go of anything that no longer fit, didn’t align with my aesthetic, or remained untouched for an extended period. This step was crucial to ensure that my wardrobe only consisted of items I would use and love.
Identifying and Purchasing Classic Pieces
Next, I needed to identify the specific classic pieces I wanted to incorporate into my wardrobe. To aid this process, I revisited a book called “365 Style” by Nicky Hilton, which provided a reliable framework for building a versatile wardrobe. The framework involved identifying three main occasions we consistently dress for, selecting six staple clothing items for each occasion, and incorporating five accessories for added style.
Following this framework, I curated my wardrobe based on my three main occasions: casual workwear, date nights, and loungewear. I selected six staple pieces for each category and identified the accessories that complemented each occasion. This framework allowed flexibility and personalization, enabling me to create a wardrobe that suited my unique lifestyle and preferences.
Executing the Objectives
The objectives for this well-dressed woman goal involved decluttering my closet, defining the items I needed to purchase, and finding those pieces within a set budget. I started by decluttering my fall/winter wardrobe and invested in sweaters, dresses, and knit joggers from various brands. Additionally, I purchased a stunning pair of Chanel-inspired flats and incorporated timeless accessories to enhance my outfits.
In April, I repeated the process for my spring/summer wardrobe, focusing on linen pieces that aligned with the season. While I acquired most of the items on my list, I made a few adjustments to ensure the perfect fit and style. Ultimately, I integrated these new additions into my existing wardrobe, creating a cohesive capsule wardrobe for each season.
The Final Result
I am delighted to announce that I have successfully completed this goal within the allocated timeframe. I now have a well-organized wardrobe that brings me joy and makes getting dressed each morning a breeze. The mix-and-match nature of my classic pieces has simplified my styling process, allowing me to feel more confident and put-together. Remarkably, I achieved this transformation while staying within my budget, spending less than $1,500.
My journey towards becoming a well-dressed woman has been incredibly rewarding and enlightening. The process of decluttering, setting objectives, and curating my wardrobe has resulted in a personal style transformation that truly reflects who I am and boosts my confidence. It’s not just about the clothes; it’s about making intentional choices that allow us to present our best selves to the world. If you’re also on a path to revamp your wardrobe, I hope my story has inspired you to take the necessary steps to create a wardrobe that brings you joy and empowers you every day. Remember, your personal style is a reflection of your unique personality and aspirations, so embrace the journey and enjoy the process of building a wardrobe that makes you feel like the best version of yourself.
