What to wear now? I ask this question every day since every new day there’s a new thing happening.

Have you ever found yourself buying an outfit you love while scrolling through Instagram? Sometimes, those ads are tough to resist. But if you want a wardrobe you’re truly proud of, learning to say “no” to impulse buys is essential!
Working on a wishlist of outfits that you want the most will save you from reckless spending.
Think about what is missing in your closet, and when you see your favorite clothes, reflect on why you’d like them. Give it a try, girl! I bet next time you go shopping, you’ll know exactly which outfit you want to add to your closet.
6. Write in your outfit journal before going to bed
I have been journaling for a year now. I can say that journaling is like dating yourself. It’s about getting to know a side of ourselves that we never knew existed.
Journaling is great because you can write about anything. It’s like having a best friend who listens and never judges you.
You can write a lot of things about your outfits.
- What do you like about your favorite outfit?
- How would you describe your personal style in three words?
- What is the most meaningful piece of clothing you own, and why?
Journaling has so many benefits and we just need to spend a few minutes at the end of the day and let the journal be our best friend.
The bottom line
As a gentle reminder, finding your style takes time, no matter who you are.
