How Does This Outfit Make Me Feel? The Question That Changes Everything About Your Wardrobe

We’ve all done it: bought something because it looked amazing on someone else, or because it was on sale, or because it was “good enough” for the event on your calendar. And then—there it sits in your closet, tags on, never worn.

Here’s why: you forgot to ask the most important question when you tried it on.

“How does this outfit make me feel?”

Why Feelings Matter in Fashion

Style isn’t just about what looks good—it’s about what feels good.
When you put on an outfit, it should instantly shift your energy. The right look can make you feel confident, powerful, polished, even playful. The wrong one? It makes you second-guess, tug at your clothes, or avoid mirrors altogether.

Clothing is more than fabric; it’s an extension of how you show up in the world. If your wardrobe isn’t making you feel like the best version of yourself, it’s working against you.

The Shopping Trap We All Fall Into

Here’s the cycle I see over and over:

• Buying something trendy because it’s everywhere online.

• Snagging a “deal” on a piece that never really suited you.

• Saying yes to something just because the sales associate insisted it looked great.

• Settling for “it works” instead of “I love this.”

And then comes the guilt: returning boxes, rushed shopping trips, and still feeling like you have nothing to wear.

The missing piece? You never stopped to ask: “How does this make me feel?”

Redefining Your Wardrobe

This Fall, I challenge you to flip the script.
When you’re trying on clothes, pause and tune in:

• Do I feel confident?

• Do I feel comfortable?

• Do I feel like myself—or the woman I want to be?

• Would I reach for this on a busy morning without hesitation?

If the answer isn’t a resounding yes, it doesn’t deserve space in your closet.

Building a Wardrobe That Works for You

A well-curated wardrobe isn’t just full of beautiful pieces—it’s full of pieces that feel right for your lifestyle. That means:

✔️ Prioritizing quality over quantity.
✔️ Choosing silhouettes that flatter and empower you.
✔️ Investing in versatile staples you’ll reach for again and again.
✔️ Adding in a few “joy pieces” that simply make you smile.

When your closet is filled with pieces that check those boxes, getting dressed becomes effortless—and you’ll never again have to scramble for something to wear.
