My outfits were documented here:
What was your favourite outfit that you wore during the last two weeks and why?
UGH! This is so hard to pick.
I have to say this one. If I really had to choose, a number one.
Number two would be this outfit:
And number three:
How did that outfit make you feel?
Comfortable. Sexy. Powerful. Sophisticated.
The second outfit made me feel:
Whimsical. Comfortable. Fresh. Happy.
The third outfit made me feel:
Sophisticated. Comfortable. Stylish. Powerful. Luxe.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how happy were you overall with your outfits during these past two weeks?
9.
I am pretty good at coming up with outfits and ideas if I had time to think about it, and if I plan the night ahead, to ask:
- What I am doing today?
- Am I going outside?
- Do I need comfortable shoes?
- Must I wear heels with this for this to look good?
- Do I need a bag today or will a clutch be okay? Am I running a ton of errands?
Describe your current style in three adjectives.
Contradictory. Layered. Extra.
Contradictory
I feel like I always have to mix feminine withe some masculine. Navy blue loafers? They have to be pointed.
Really girly outfit? I need a boyfriend watch with that, or something less frilly.
Or ripped jeans with super conservative jacket and shirts.
I also go all neutrals, and then all colours all over the place. I swing back and forth between all of these personas.
Layered
I always need to do SOMETHING to the outfit.
Add a great accessory, tie a belt around my waist, wear lots of jewellery or specific pieces, or belt my outfits.
I find it really difficult just to put on a tee and jeans because I come up with a billion ways to add a new layered jacket, or to wear heels with it, or sport an interesting bag.
Extra
COLOURS!
A strange statement necklace, a bit of whimsy, or something extra added where I swap out the given belt and put my own belt in, or knot my shirt.
I always need to do something a little extra with the outfit. When it is too plain and just a top and pants, I feel sad.
What was your least favourite outfit and why? How did it make you feel?
I am still not a fan of this particular outfit and I am realizing it is because I’m a huge fabric snob:
It FELT soft. It FELT comfortable.. but I felt sloppy in it, and it was acrylic. I hate it when it pills and doesn’t look luxe.
I also didn’t do anything with it. It was just a turtleneck and jeans. I had no leather jacket over it, no vest.. it just felt so plain.
List your five most-worn colours during the last two weeks.
- White/Ivory
- Beige/Taupe
- Light Grey
- Navy Blue
- Black
How well do you feel these represent your individual preference for colours?
Pretty spot on. For now anyway.
I like neutrals in my outfit as of late, and haven’t really been wearing a ton of colours aside from my staple ones like magenta, fuchsia, jungle green, blue…
This week I think I hit pretty much all of my favourites, my outfit from Week Two with the magenta, orange and red, being something I LOVE when I feel energized.

A little about this series:
I am embarking on a 8-week (or longer) excursion to do this exercise from one of my favourite style books – The Curated Closet – and to show you what my Curated Closet Workbook (companion workbook to the actual book) looks like at every step of the way.
Why do this?
Because I know what I like but I have no idea why I like what I do. I just do, and it seems very hodge-podge and all over the place. Being very Type A, I kind of want to pin it down and to know WHY.
I feel like it would help me narrow down my style personas more, and stop me from making bad / stupid shopping mistakes.
Also, I really like reading about these kinds of things from other people. I love it when people go through and talk about their style evolution and why.
