Use Your Shopping Guide to Make a Pinterest Board

4/3/2017

2 Comments

 
If you know your personal style identity, chances are you've bought the corresponding shopping guide.

(If you haven't, I recommend it! And if you don't know your style identity, try the Style Identity Calculator. Or consider a virtual analysis.)

I recommend using your shopping guide to create a Pinterest board.  Doing this helps you really visualize the full extent of your wardrobe's potential.

I used my Ethereal Natural Shopping Guide to create a Pinterest board.  I searched for  individual items recommended on the list, and pinned those that conformed to other EN requirements laid out in the guide.
For example, I searched for "rolled sleeves," and pinned a pic of rolled sleeves that were cotton (Natural) and very light in color (Ethereal.) 

Paging up and down through the board, letting my eyes float gently over all of the images, I get a strong, clear sense of the Ethereal Natural look. I feel  like I'm seeing for the first time exactly how much the femininity of Ethereal and masculinity of Natural really contrast with each other. It's striking and beautiful. I feel inspired to stretch myself a bit more in my daily choices.

When you make your own board, pin items that only include the garment or accessory in question -- nothing else.  Nonconforming items in the pictures will improperly influence your sense of your style identity. 

You can see my Ethereal Natural boardhere. 

Have fun!

This was an excellent suggestion. I put off trying this for a while, but when I did, the process really helped me curate what worked for me.

I started by pinning some of the clothes that are actually IN my closet and that I wear a lot. Then I added in 'would wear that' to the mix. I could really see what I merely liked as an idea (I like a lot of clothes ideas!) and what I would actually take out and wear around.

I also found that this helped me nail down some of the questions your style calculator left me with. I'd gotten a 4-way tie (natural, classic, ethereal, ingenue), but the moment I started pinned, ingenue was out of the question. It also made me realize what I was reacting to on the ingenue side was the color, not the style. Thus, I realized I'd slightly mistyped my color season - light summer, not cool (though def. on the cool side of light summer).

Anyhow, I have a list of 'find this' items, but that's so much better to take to the store! Thank you for the suggestion!

"My closet has totally transformed into something I like, but don't think about much. How amazing is that? I just walk in, grab something for the occasion and the weather, and go. Because it's all the same color season, it all blends. Because it's all the right style (my style, so who cares if it's 'in'? It looks good on me) I can rest assured it looks about right. It's really amazing.

"I waste a lot less time and money now with shopping. I can walk into a store and rule out 90% of the inventory. I now try things I never would have dared and happily pass over things I used to think I had to have. Shopping is just a hunt now, not a source of guilt. I feel like I'm a lot less wasteful and more mindful this way."
