301: 3 Game-Changing Wardrobe Strategies to Love Your Clothes and Stop Overbuying

Ever feel like you have a closet full of clothes and still nothing to wear? 🙋‍♀️ You’re not alone—and if you're constantly buying new pieces hoping this will be the outfit that finally makes you feel confident, this episode is for you.

I used to believe that creating a wardrobe I loved meant buying more. But the truth? No amount of shopping fixed that feeling. It wasn’t until I stopped asking “What do I need to buy?” and started asking “What do I need to see?” that everything changed.

In this episode, I’m sharing 3 wardrobe strategies that completely shifted how I dress, shop, and feel about my closet. If you’re ready to declutter your wardrobe, stop overbuying clothes, and finally love getting dressed again—this one’s a must-listen.

🔑 3 Key Takeaways from This Episode:

1️⃣ Find Your Personal Style Using the 3-Word Method
No more following trends or trying to wear pieces that don’t feel like you. I’ll walk you through how to define your style using Alison Bornstein’s three-word method—so you can confidently choose outfits that match your life, your vibe, and how you want to feel. (Hint: it’s not about “what’s in,” it’s about what feels right.)

2️⃣ Discover the Power of Color Analysis
Color is one of the most overlooked tools in curating a closet you love. I share how getting my colors done by Your Color Guru changed the way I shop and helped me declutter my wardrobe with less overwhelm. (Use code CLUTTERFREE for 10% off any package!)

You don’t need more clothes—you need more inspiration. I’ll show you how I use screenshots from my favorite brands and stylists to “shop my closet” and recreate fresh outfits from pieces I already own. (It gives me the same dopamine hit as buying something new—without the regret.)
