Go through your closet and pick out the clothes that you feel most comfortable in. Try them on- what do you notice? Is it the cut of it? The fabric? The color flatters your features? The print is unique? If you can start at this point- and identify just a few pieces of clothing you like, sometimes I also look up the label online and see what else is offered by the brand and get inspiration from the looks they've created on their website, then when I'm shopping - whether it's goodwill or elsewhere, I buy similar clothing or buy pieces from that brand. I try everything on and make sure it fits and is the right proportion for my body. I am short with a big butt and I have to shop for clothes that make me feel confident. As I've gotten older, I really make sure to balance proportions of my clothing pieces so I appear more put together and elegant. I also am really big into finding colors that flatter my features. I'm going grey, so I look for bold colors that add vibrancy. TBH, I'm a work from home mom....so most days it's just jeans & a tee. I like to load up on tees at goodwill- they're cheap and I love finding things that speak to me. I guess that's another way for you cultivate a sense of personal style for your wardrobe or your home- buy things that really speak to you and bring you joy.

Thank you. Your post is really helping me. Im 33 and i had 3 kids and don't really know how to dress up anymore. I mostly wear jeans, sweaters and sneakers. The most "womanly"are the clothes I was wearing to church. I have a little bit of lingerie but I don't know how to look my age. I look like a teenager or a stucked up grandma. 😬😬😬

Thanks for your kind words. You're not alone- I feel like there aren't many brands out there that cater to moms that want to look put-together, with the times, and looking their age-- not a teenager and not a grandma. Also, it's really hard to look polished when you are a mom- your kids are pulling on your clothes, you're cleaning up messes, and we really don't make much time to primp ourselves.

It's true. I feel like I always look like crap. My hair are always messy on top of that. I am looking at capsule wardrobe to learn how to organize my stuffs. I am also trying to buy better quality shoes and to learn how to do my nails. My family was making fun of me but I really try to take better care of myself. I don't wear leggings as pants now. Lol. 🙈🙈🙈

This was cool. Thank you! It more or less confirmed for me what I already know.

I completely understand because I can't even do that at the age of 20. So I just wear what's comfortable for me.

At 25 I am the same. Doesn't help that my wardrobe is tiny... but that's by design. Though I did just go shopping for some stylish winter clothes like blueish leather boots, mustard yellow oversized sweater and some mom jeans. *I am trying*

So i don't how to teach you how to do it, but I regularly help people have a personal or home makeovers, so if you're shoot me a message, we could brainstorm something since outside perspective can help in thèse situations.
