Do you feel like you want to feel in what you're wearing? Or are you not thinking about it? Because I can pretty much tell when somebody's not happy with their body, if they dress in a way that makes them look like they're ashamed of their body.
That's also why I really wanted to rethink the idea of a wardrobe as how do you make something easier that's going to look good. And that really was the conceit behind Buy Stacey London. Not your clothes don't have to be black to be flattering. And they need to be easy, work with what you have in your closet and help pull your closet together.
So when you go to get dressed, you can have an experience, a feeling of joy and excitement rather than dread. And this has nothing to do with size or how much you can spend on your clothes. I always say spend as much as you can afford to reasonably, not however much money you have. What can you afford reasonably?
Und dann, was sind die Teile, die sind, wenn du deine Klosse öffnest und du sie als lebendiges Atemorganismus angeschaut hast, dann denk an die Kleider in deiner Klosse als die Beine. Wenn du viele Verschmutzungen hast, Dinge, die nicht zusammengehen, eine-zu-ein-Teile, die du nicht haben kannst, um sie zu vermischen, dann sage ich, nimm diese Teile aus deiner Klosse. und diese Teile aufhängen.
Zuerst entscheiden, ob sie wirklich in deinem Schlafen gehören, ob sie ein Impuls waren, oder was du mit diesen schwierigen Teilen anfangen kannst, ist, dass du anfangen kannst, zu schreiben, was mit dem gehen würde. Was würde mit all diesen Dingen gehen, die nicht so eine Outfit haben, mit denen du gehen würdest? Wenn ich einen tannten Schuh gekauft hätte, wäre dieses Shirt super.
Und dieser tannte Blazer würde mit diesem Pinstripe-Pencilskirt wunderschön aussehen. Wenn du anfängst zu überlegen, was nicht da ist, was wäre das verbindliche Tissue des Körpers? Wenn du also überlegst, was du schon als Beine besitzt hast, was ist das Muskel, was sind die Knochen, die einen wirklich funktionierenden, bewegenden, veränderbaren Schuh bilden?
That feels like it's really, truly a beating heart, like a part of you.
I'm learning. I'm learning. You're learning and you're also experimenting. I'm experimenting a lot. You're wearing a color that I introduced this fall. I call it in bloom, but it's sort of like a red violet. And what I love about this color is that for me, this is a bolder version of wearing burgundy. It's a bolder version of wine. So what I also love about this color is that it's bright.
You can wear it in winter, but you can also wear it in spring. So, I love for people to start thinking about their wardrobe slightly differently. One, you don't have to just think about things in season, right?
It is buy clothes that you love, because even if it's winter and it's negative three degrees outside, you're still going to need a silk blouse at some point. If it's on your list, and I love making a list of the things that are missing, right? What's the missing connective tissue? You start a running list. Ja, genau. 10 Outfits. 10 Outfits.
Easy to wear, work on multiple occasions, go from day to night, those type of things. Consider what your needs are in your daily life and that's how you can create a wardrobe that matches it. Ich sage immer den Leuten, zuerst musst du dich auf deine Wardrobe kümmern. Das ist das erste Ding. Und ehrlich sein.
Und ehrlich sein über das, was nicht passt, was nicht weiter passt, was du dich mit Täuschung befindest. Das ist psychologische Täuschung.
I remember one time Oprah said to me, if you're actively losing weight, if you're dieting, if you're exercising, if you know that you have a goal weight, whatever, maybe keep one piece as that inspiration to keep you going. But if you have a closet full of clothes that no longer fit you, it is psychological torture and dread to open up your closet. So one.
You gotta look at what really needs to go. What's stained and can't be taken out by dry cleaning. What's ripped, what's missing buttons. Things that either you're gonna fix or you know you're not going to. You've gotta figure that out.
And then there's all the clothes that just don't suit you anymore that are perfectly wonderful that you should absolutely donate to charity or you can put on consignment. And just generally speaking, you'll probably get back about a quarter of the retail price that you spent if you put something on consignment or thrift. That's usually what you can expect.
And then you need to stand in front of your mirror naked. I'm sorry, this is part of the process. Where did that come from? I know, it sort of came from left field, but I don't want to leave it out because I wrote about this in my book, The Truth About Style. You cannot be truthful about what looks good on you if you don't know your own body.
And sadly, our judgments of ourselves and our preconceptions of ourselves are Das dauert einen langen Zeitraum, um sich zu verletzen. Du musst vor einem Fenster stehen, bis du stoppst und sagst, Gott, ich hasse meine Schulter. Oder guck mal, mein Arsch ist irgendwie in die Rückseite meiner Knie gelaufen und ich weiß nicht, wann das passiert ist.
Aber du musst vor diesem Fenster stehen, bis du kannst sagen, ohne Emotion. I love my shoulders, but I hate my upper arms. So I know I want to show, you know, I like the cold shoulder look, but I don't want to show this. I love that I have a small waist, but I don't love my hips. Okay?
Now that you can look at those things objectively and just say, I don't love my hips, you're going to look for clothes that work not against you, not trying to hide them. But make them look or complement your figure in a way that looks better than not paying attention to it.
So for example, if you don't like your tush, if you're wearing all black and you wear a long knit sweater over your tush, I immediately know that you don't like your tush. Aber wenn du einen langen Trouser und einen Blazer trägst, der direkt am Top der Rückseite ausgeschnitten wird, dann würde ich denken, oh, sie mag ihren Tusch nicht, aber schau, wie groß sein Körper in diesen Kleidern aussieht.
