The Curated Closet for your entire life

Some years ago, my bestie @Caro got me on Curated Closet, and we worked through it together. It gives you a really helpful framework for defining your personal style/aesthetic and building a wardrobe around the colors, shapes, and pieces that suit your taste and works for your lifestyle. It absolutely did that, but the life-changing part was realizing the same framework could be applied to so many other areas of life.

One of the main things: It helped me embrace that I do love color (at a time when everything was beige/gray!). There’s a sub category to my wardrobe for when it comes to my ballet aesthetic. Also helped me get clearer about jewelry and accessories, even scents. I use the same principles to decorate my home, and now I’m using them to plan my wedding. Basically, it taught me how to identify what I like and then trust myself to choose accordingly—without the noise of trends and being stuck on having so many choices.
