What if getting dressed could be the most creative, empowering moment of your day?
Not something you rush through, or a source of stress.
Not that familiar “I have nothing to wear” feeling while standing in front of a wardrobe that’s very much full.
I’ve been sitting with that question lately. Not trying to answer it properly, not trying to turn it into a concept or a plan. Just noticing what happens when I don’t move past it too quickly.
I’m not doing a reset. I’m also very against rules, especially New Year’s resolutions. And I’m not trying to fix my wardrobe either.
What I’m actually doing feels much simpler.
I’m just wearing my clothes. All of them. One by one. And paying attention.
As I go, I’ve started documenting what I wear. I’m taking photos, updating my personal ready-to-wear lookbook, and making small notes about how I feel in each outfit. Not in a strategic way. Not to optimise anything. Just to understand why something works for me, or why it suddenly doesn’t.
Nothing is polished. Nothing is “for content.” It’s more like observation.
What I reach for without thinking.
What I feel really myself in.
What surprises me.
What doesn’t land anymore, even if it used to.
Somewhere along the way, the question I was asking myself changed.
It stopped being “Is this still fashionable?” and became “Does this still feel like me?”
There are pieces I hadn’t worn in years that suddenly make complete sense again. Others don’t, and that’s fine too. There’s no drama around it. It doesn’t feel like decluttering. It feels more like having an honest, quiet conversation with myself.
What I didn’t expect is how much this has spilled into everything else.
The other day I was working from home on my laptop… with shoes on. Which I know sounds slightly ridiculous, and probably isn’t even hygienic, but someone in my WhatsApp styling community mentioned doing it and I thought, why not try?
It changed my energy immediately.
I felt more grounded, more present in my body. A bit more put together, even though no one could see me. And somehow, I got a lot more done. It genuinely affected how I approached my work.
So yes, goodbye to working from home in joggers.
And if you’re someone who only pays attention to the top half because that’s what people see on Zoom, I really can’t recommend enough dressing the whole outfit. You’re not dressing for other people. You’re dressing for yourself. Ignoring the bottom half feels a bit like cheating, if I’m honest. Cheating on myself.
This is why I don’t believe this is about having everything figured out.
It’s not about “new year, new you.” It’s not about discipline or upgrading yourself. But being with yourself as you are, and letting your wardrobe meet you there. Without pressure. Without performance.
Just curiosity.
This is also exactly how I work with women as a stylist. Not by imposing a new version of them, but by helping them see what’s already there. What still fits. What still flatters. What still feels true. And what is quietly asking to be let go. There’s usually so much more possibility than we realise.
Below are a few outfits from this week, which I’ve been sharing daily here and with my community as part of Wearing 100% of my wardrobe. I wanted to add a bit of context to the images, because each one taught me something.
The navy jumper with the open back is a piece I hadn’t worn in years, and I mean years. At least six. I don’t know why it suddenly clicked again, but it feels perfect for this weather and perfectly aligned with my growing love for navy. It’s starting to feel like a softer, richer alternative to black for me when it comes to elegance.
The jeans are a complete accident. I found them at a clothes swap I hosted at the end of last year and almost didn’t take them home. Now I can already tell you that you’ll be seeing a lot of them in 2026. They were the star of my capsule suitcase for Spain over the holidays. Comfortable, flattering, endlessly wearable. One of those pieces that quietly earns its place.
And then there’s colour. I’m still deciding what my accent colour is going to be for this season in my life, and I’m deliberately not forcing it. I’m letting it reveal itself slowly. Right now, I’m very drawn to reds and orange tones, which feels interesting given the spiritual work I’ve been doing around my sacral chakra, sensuality, and magnetism. I’m curious to see where that leads.
For now, I’m just documenting. Wearing everything. Staying present.
If this sparks something in you, maybe try it too. Any day. Any moment. No big decision required. Just start by getting dressed and noticing how it feels.
Is there anything in your wardrobe you keep skipping past without really knowing why?
Until next week 🤍
I hope to see you daily in my notes. It helps me stay accountable, not to the outfits, but to the sharing.
