5 REASONS WHY MORE STUFF ACTUALLY MAKES IT HARDER TO GET DRESSED.



A "dilema" I hear very often during these lockdowns in the pandemic, is that finding "inspiration" online, has started to make people feel like they are not enough.

I always encourage people to find inspiration, but I did not see this one coming!

The shops and brands are increasing their presence online searching for the latest strategies to get the attention of consumers, and the pressure is on! for consumers to... actually... consume!

Hiring influencers by the brands to show the latest products has become the norm, so it has, the number of influencers around.

We all know by now how internet is listening to us, consequently putting in front of our eyes, through multiple channels, a very curated selection of products tailored to our likes. We are specially vulnerable to this, in a year where we have spend more time than ever in front of the computer and looking at our phones.


So pace yourself in the next online purchase. Here are five reasons why more stuff makes it harder to get dressed:


Un "dilema" que escucho habitualmente durante estos confinamientos en la pandemia es la de que buscar inspiración en internet, esta haciendo a la gente sentirse que no son suficientes.

Yo siempre animo a la gente a buscar inspiración, porque si no, no sabes que buscas antes de comprar, pero esta sí que no me la veía venir!

Las tiendas y las marcas están potenciando su presencia en internet, con las estrategias más hábiles para obtener la atención de los consumidores y conseguir que... bueno, que consuman!

Contar con influencers para las marcas, es lo normal ahora, y también ha aumentado el número de influencers ahí fuera.

Todos sabemos ya que internet escucha y que nos pone delante, por medio de varias formas, una selección cuidadosamente personalizada de productos según lo que nos gusta. Estamos todos especialmente vulnerables, en un año en el que nos tiramos horas a la pantalla del ordenador o mirando la pantalla del móvil mas que nunca.


Haz esperar esa próxima compra online, aquí van cinco razones por las que tener mas, te hace mas difícil vestirte:


1- It is not sustainable.

I don't know about you, but I used to fall for the high street rabbit hole years a go ( and I still do sometimes!) and have to stop myself in order to buy better.

Unless you are a blogger and that is your job, it's not sustainable at all for the rest of us to carry on buying and buying stuff for the shake of having more.


1- No es sostenible.

No se tú, pero yo siempre caía en el agujero de las últimas tendencias y seguir comprando, y aún lo hago! me tengo que parar a mí misma y recordar cómo comprar mejor.

A menos que seas una bloguera y comprar y comprar ropa sea tu trabajo para conjuntarla perfectamente, para el resto de nosotras, simplemente, no es sostenible.


2- Your Wardrobe is confused. So are you!

All this pressure and online purchases, makes you buy clothes because you like them at that moment, and not analysing what style you actually want to go for, so the pieces in your wardrobe make sense with one another and work together. By having more, it makes them fight with one another in your wardrobe.

And following on with point 1, it is never enough. You are always going to think you need this or the other. Be sure of spotting the gaps, and just purchase those.


2- Tu armario esta confundido, y tú también!

Toda esta presión para comprar online, hace que compremos ropa sólo porque nos gusta, y no pensando en qué estilo queremos darle al armario para que las prendas trabajen juntas entre sí y tengan sentido en el armario. Tener más, hace que luchen las unas con las otras en el armario.

y siguiendo con el punto 1, no va a ser nunca suficiente. Siempre vas a pensar que necesitas esto o lo otro. Estate segura de ver los huecos que faltan en el armario y dar prioridad a esas compras.


3- Having more, makes you confused.

Yes, having a lot makes your head explode and forget what you already have actually. Why would something new be better? I am sure you still love that beautiful pink skirt! If not, think twice when you buy the next one for your future you. Is she going to like it then?

Having less, makes you more creative, you can clearly see what you have in your wardrobe and what you are missing.


3- Tener mas, te confunde a ti también.

Tener tanto, hace que tu cabeza explote, y que se te olvide lo que ya tienes. No te ayuda a la hora de combinarlo tampoco. Estoy segura que aún te encanta esa falda rosa, y si no, piensa dos veces cuando compres la siguiente para tu futura tú, la va a gustar a ella en unos meses?

Tener menos, te hace más creativa, puedes ver claramente lo que tienes y lo que te falta.


4- The dreaded Wardrobe Detox

You have to do one every season right? Think again!

That's not fashionable any more, doing a wardrobe detox is out of style. A wardrobe detox just means you have made a mess in the first place, and it all started because you wanted more.


4- La temida limpieza de armario.

Tienes que hacer una cada temporada verdad? Piénsalo dos veces!

Eso ya no esta de moda. Hacer una limpieza de armario ya no se estila. Una limpieza de armario sólo significa que lo "ensuciaste" en su día, y todo empezó porque queríamos más.



5- You are not going to be more stylish by buying more.

Sorry, say again, why are you buying more clothes?

Because you are not enough with what you have? Think again and put on that gorgeous skirt!


5- No vas a ser mas estilosa porque te compres mas.

Perdona me puedes repetir? por que decías que compras mas ropa? Porque no es suficiente con la que tienes? Piénsalo otra vez, y ponte esa falda rosa!

Comments

  • Do I need to be actively involved in the process once I purchase the Style Breakthrough service?
    Yes. This service is designed for individuals who are truly ready to commit to discovering their authentic style and breaking free from impulsive, unfulfilling purchases. We work with clients who are at a stage in their lives where they want a more intentional and sustainable approach to their wardrobe. By trusting the process and fully engaging in it, you’ll achieve lasting results—a style that feels effortless, cohesive, and truly you.
  • Will I have to get rid of all my clothes?
    Not at all! The goal is to work with what you already have and refine your wardrobe, not to start from scratch. We’ll assess what truly aligns with your style, what can be repurposed, and what might not be serving you anymore. The process is about intention—curating a wardrobe that supports your style, not just replacing everything for the sake of it.
  • Will the Style Breakthrough service change me into someone I’m not?
    Absolutely not! This service isn’t about forcing you into a specific style or making you dress in a way that doesn’t feel like you. Instead, it’s about uncovering and refining the style that already aligns with who you are at this stage of your life. Think of it as a process of self-discovery—one that empowers you to feel more confident, authentic, and in control of your wardrobe. You won’t be told what to wear; rather, you’ll gain clarity on what truly resonates with you, so getting dressed feels effortless and right for you. This is about embracing your style, not changing it into something it’s not.
  • Do I need to be passionate about fashion to benefit from the Style Breakthrough service?
    Not at all! The Style Breakthrough is for anyone who wants to feel confident and authentic in what they wear—whether or not they follow fashion trends. However, this service is about more than just clothes; it’s about shifting your mindset around style and shopping. To truly benefit, you need to be open to change. If you’re ready to break free from old shopping habits, stop wasting money on pieces that don’t work, and build a wardrobe that reflects who you are, this process will give you clarity and confidence. But this may not be the right fit if you’re looking for a quick fix without a commitment to real change. Style isn’t about following rules—it’s about redefining your relationship with your wardrobe and embracing a new way of dressing that truly serves you.
  • Is the Style Breakthrough service only for people who feel lost in their style?
    Not at all! While the service is perfect for those who feel disconnected from their wardrobe, it’s also designed for anyone who wants to refine, refresh, or evolve their personal style. Whether you’re going through a life transition, seeking a more cohesive wardrobe, or simply wanting to shop with more confidence and clarity, the Style Breakthrough will help you build a wardrobe that truly represents you. It’s about making style effortless, authentic, and aligned with who you are—wherever you are on your style journey.
  • Why should I book the Style Simplified session instead of jumping straight into a full service?
    The Style Simplified session is a great starting point because it allows you to gain essential insight into your wardrobe and style goals, without committing to a larger service right away. If you’re not sure where to begin or feel overwhelmed by the thought of a full transformation, this session helps break things down into manageable steps. Think of it as a powerful checkpoint that gives you the information you need to move forward with confidence—whether you choose to continue working together or implement the insights on your own. If you’re ready for a shift but need help figuring out where to focus, this session is your ideal first step.
  • What can I expect to gain from the Style Simplified session?
    n this session, you’ll gain clarity on your current wardrobe’s strengths and weaknesses, a deeper understanding of your shopping and style habits, and a personalized action plan for moving forward. You’ll walk away with key takeaways that will help you avoid wasting money on pieces that don’t serve you and begin creating a wardrobe that aligns with your authentic self. It’s a highly informative session, and by the end, you’ll feel empowered to make better shopping decisions and be clear on the direction your wardrobe needs to go to reflect who you truly are.
  • I feel overwhelmed by my closet. Can the Style Simplified session help me with that?
    Yes! If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your closet, the Style Simplified session is a great way to gain clarity. This session helps you break down your wardrobe in a calm, guided way so you can understand what’s truly working and what needs to go. We’ll focus on simplifying your approach to style, making the whole process less stressful and more aligned with what actually feels good for you. However, please note that we need to focus on one season at a time. If you have a large wardrobe, we’ll begin by breaking down your favorite pieces, and I’ll provide exercises to help you continue the process on your own. The goal is to create a manageable, actionable plan for your wardrobe that’s tailored to your current needs. By the end of the session, you’ll feel more confident and in control, with a clearer understanding of how to move forward without feeling bogged down by unnecessary items or decisions. This session is a starting point, not a complete wardrobe overhaul, but you’ll have the tools and insights to carry on organizing and refining your closet with ease.
  • What if I don’t like the style you suggest for me?
    There’s no one-size-fits-all “look” that I impose on clients. This process is collaborative, and everything is built around your personality, preferences, and lifestyle. You’ll be involved every step of the way, ensuring that your final style direction feels natural and authentic to you. My role is to guide, refine, and bring clarity—not to dictate or change who you are.
  • What is a Wardrobe Audit?
    A Wardrobe Audit is a deep assessment of your current wardrobe to ensure it aligns with your personal style, offers versatility, and works cohesively as a whole. This process isn’t about discarding everything you own—it’s about understanding what serves you, what doesn’t, and how to create a more intentional, well-balanced collection of pieces that truly reflect who you are. Using a structured methodology, we evaluate your wardrobe for consistency in style, cohesiveness, variation, and balance—even if those terms don’t mean much to you yet, don’t worry! The process is designed to give you clarity on what works, what’s missing, and how to make getting dressed effortless. By the end of the audit, you’ll gain a clearer sense of direction, ensuring every piece in your wardrobe contributes to a style that feels natural and empowering. If you’re tired of feeling like your closet is full of clothes but nothing quite works together, this is the step that will change that. Check out the Style Simplified one-hour session, which will give you a taste of an Audit today and start building a wardrobe that truly works for you!
  • What is the Style Simplified session, and how can it help me?
    The Style Simplified session is a one-hour, personalized consultation designed to give you clarity about your wardrobe and your style goals. It’s a guided conversation where we explore your purchasing habits, assess what’s currently in your wardrobe, and uncover where you want to take your style next. This session is perfect for anyone feeling stuck, unsure, or overwhelmed by their wardrobe.

  • I’ve tried finding my style before, but nothing sticks. How is this different?
    This isn’t just about picking a few outfits—it’s a deeper process of understanding why you’re drawn to certain styles, what actually works for your life, and how to break free from habits that keep you stuck in a cycle of dissatisfaction. It’s about rewiring how you think about your wardrobe so that you no longer second-guess yourself or make impulse purchases that don’t serve you. If you’re ready to commit to that shift, this will be the last time you need to “find your style.”
  • I want to change, but what if I go back to old habits?
    Real transformation happens when you’re truly ready for it. This isn’t a quick fix—it’s a shift in how you approach style and shopping. If you’re open to rethinking how you see your wardrobe and willing to step out of your old patterns, you’ll come out of this experience with a completely new mindset. However, if you’re not yet ready to let go of past habits, this may not be the right time for you—and that’s okay! The best results come when you’re fully committed to embracing change.
