In this episode of The Styled Life Podcast, we’re diving into the style mistakes we’ve all made—and how they can actually become powerful tools for discovering your personal style.
I’m sharing a few pieces I’ve recently let go of during a wardrobe cleanse—items I once loved (or thought I did) but never actually wore. From the chain-strap bag that weighed me down to turtlenecks and mini skirts that didn’t suit my lifestyle, each of these “mistakes” taught me something valuable about what really works for me.
Style is a journey, and every misstep is a clue. When you understand why a piece didn’t work, you can stop repeating patterns, make smarter choices, and build a wardrobe that truly feels like you. We’ll also talk about how to analyse your own closet clear-outs so you don’t just declutter—you learn.
✨ In this episode:
- Why holding onto unworn pieces creates clutter and confusion
- What your past style “regrets” reveal about your preferences
- How to use mistakes to refine your wardrobe moving forward
- The power of letting go—and making space for what suits you now
This is the perfect episode if you’ve ever stared at a closet full of clothes and thought, “Why don’t I wear any of this?”
