In this last week of the course, we will unleash the personal shopper within all of us and learn to source each item on your wishlist. This won’t be a week-long buying spree, but rather a week to set you up to build your wardrobe in the coming months and even years so you don’t end up back where you started.

While just browsing with our imaginary infinite shopping budget *may* do no harm, the trouble starts when “just browsing” turns into clicking checkout without really checking anything out. 

This week, let’s close those tabs—at least until you’ve built an intentional wishlist of items that would help unlock more of your wardrobe and even better nail your style.

Before we dive back into shopping, let’s give your wardrobe a workout! You might be surprised at how much it has to offer when you put it to the test.

We often think of high-end purchases like designer bags as "investments." But to truly move away from disposable fashion, we need to start seeing all of our clothes as investments. Every piece in your wardrobe has value, whether it’s financial, functional, or emotional. And, by shifting your perspective to view your wardrobe as a “portfolio,” you can start making more intentional decisions that maximize the value it provides, however you define that value.

This week, we’re helping you assess your wardrobe like you would your financial assets, carefully considering whether each piece is still the right investment for you.

Visuals are great, but they can sometimes feel…kinda nebulous! When it comes down to making real day-to-day decisions about what pieces to buy or how to put together outfits, for most of us, a Pinterest board just isn’t all that helpful.

So, what's the solution? Many stylists, from Tibi’s Amy Smilovic to TikTok’s Allison Bornstein recommend distilling down your style to just three words. You can count us here at Indyx another member of that club, because that’s exactly what we’ll be doing together this week.

This week we edit, “finishing” our work for now on your visual inspiration board, but you should expect to continue the process of adding and editing over time - maybe forever! Style is an evolution, and an inspiration board captures that evolving style so it continues to inspire you. Think of it as buffing your car rather than changing all its parts, after all, we are here to build your authentic style that is - for the most part - timeless.

Before we shop and even before we clean out our closets, we need to establish a ‘north star’ to guide what to clean out and what to shop for. That is why we first need to define your style, free from any preconceptions of what we already have or lack in our wardrobes.

Practically, we’re giving you a second week to get your closet indexed. This gives us a moment to breathe and reflect on why we’ve gotten into this situation in the first place: a closet full of clothes but nothing to wear, and more confused than ever about your true personal style.

But before embarking on any journey, it is always helpful to get as clear as you can on exactly what you want to achieve. If you don’t know where you want to end up, you’ll end up walking aimlessly, no matter how much guidance anyone gives you.
