Let’s be honest – we’ve all been there. A closet bursting with clothes, yet somehow “nothing to wear.” Sounds familiar, right? Despite having plenty of options, we find ourselves completely stuck when it’s time to get dressed (morning, afternoon, or evening – we’re not judging!). That frustration leads to closet hatred, and before we know it, we’re mindlessly escaping by scrolling social media, convinced we need that dress we just saw or that trendy top everyone’s wearing.
Now imagine this: Every morning, you wake up feeling serene, self-assured, and PREPARED… in just 5 minutes. You adore your outfit choices. No more anxiety. NO more wardrobe meltdowns. Just pure fashion confidence to live your best life, looking more stylish than ever, while spending less time than ever on getting dressed. You’re utilizing your entire wardrobe, not just 20% of it. You’ve reclaimed 60+ hours annually.
The secret? STAR… Having styled clients one-on-one for over two decades, I’ve discovered that intentional styling is the secret sauce. It transforms getting dressed into a joyful experience, gives you clarity about what to wear, helps you identify genuine shopping needs, and boosts your confidence (notice I didn’t mention budget – my clients with unlimited funds? They face the exact same challenges as you. Trust me. The struggle is universal, regardless of your spending power.) Styling and creating outfits is infinitely simpler than you imagine and far less daunting than it appears. Once this becomes second nature, your relationship with your wardrobe will transform forever.
Your clothes are your daily armor. Since getting dressed is inevitable, why not make it pure joy?
Ready to take control of your closet? Begin today. But forget the massive overhaul – that’s rookie thinking. Start with just one piece. Have you selected an item to style? Excellent. Four simple steps will unlock countless outfit possibilities. Don’t dismiss this method for its simplicity. It’s proven effective, and I have videos to demonstrate. I’ve made it memorable using the word star.
S – Stands for “scan” or “sweep” – remove your chosen item from the closet and sweep/scan it against EVERYTHING else you own. This should take just 30 seconds… (because you’re not overthinking)
T – The T represents “take” – pull out every piece from your wardrobe that coordinates with your chosen item. Let’s move beyond basic matching (that’s so yesterday!). Instead, focus on pieces that “go” together and create harmony. If you’ve selected that beautiful crocheted top, gather everything that could work as a layer – whether underneath or on top. Pull out those skirts, pants, and yes, even dresses that could be styled with it. Here’s a pro tip: some tops and sweaters can actually be layered over dresses for a completely fresh look! Don’t forget your accessories – they’re absolutely essential to completing your looks. Collect all potential necklaces and pile up those shoes that could work. Get everything out where you can see it.
A – A stands for “assemble” – this is where the magic happens. Take all those pieces you’ve gathered and start creating complete outfits. Try them on and let your creativity flow.
R – R might be the most challenging and time-intensive step, but it’s crucial: “remember” your styled outfits. Download the Adjust My Crown app (or use iPhotos) to capture every outfit you create. Just like a professional stylist would leave you with a personalized lookbook, you’re creating your own digital style lookbook.
The Adjust My Crown app is particularly fantastic because you can organize your looks into specific Collections based on occasions (“errands”, “work dinner”, “library sessions”, etc.). When you love an outfit, save it as “posting to remember”. Need something for a work dinner later? Simply browse your “Work dinner” collection! The app’s bonus feature? You can add notes beneath each side-by-side photo pair – perfect for remembering specific details like which bra works best or the context you wore it in. Unsure about an outfit? Post it as a poll and let our supportive community weigh in. Share your style goals and background to receive thoughtful, uplifting feedback.
Typically, spending 15-30 minutes styling one piece can yield anywhere from 2 to 20 new outfits. Feel free to continue with another piece if time allows. This piece-by-piece approach is transformative for your wardrobe, and your busy mornings.
Every client I work with is amazed to discover how many new combinations they can create without buying anything new. While I’ve recorded several styling sessions showing these revelations, I’ll let you experience the magic yourself. The best part? This method completely eliminates morning stress and wardrobe anxiety.
Your wardrobe should reflect your unique spirit, not someone else’s fashion rules or a social media algorithm feeding you outfits. It’s about crafting a collection that celebrates your incredible self. Together, let’s adjust those crowns and shine all day!
