Tools to Help You Capture Your Personal Style

Jul 06, 2020

Why does self-styling have to be so hard?

First - there is the challenge of even determining what your unique personal style is which can be a major roadblock for so many people!

(If you need help determining your personal style - check out this free guide I created!)

Then, once you’ve unlocked who you are in the fashion realm, it’s time to put that personal style into action!

And I return to my first question.

WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE SO HARD?

I don’t have that exact answer - truth be told - I don’t know why styling yourself to match and portray who you are when it comes to what you wear is such a challenge.

However…

I do have some tools that can help simplify this process - and in no time, you’ll be a self-style expert!

Oh! And these tools I’m about to mention all come in the form of apps for your phone or tablet!

STYLEBOOK

How many times can I obsess about a single app? Hopefully countless because I am that much in love with the Stylebook app. It’s pretty much a virtual closet and has helped me for years put together outfits, design my next capsule wardrobe and even pack minimally (and efficiently) for trips! 

 

POSHMARK

Coming in at #2 for the resources I recommend the most is Poshmark. Poshmark is a very user-friendly platform that lets you shop for (and sell) gently used clothing in a huge variety of styles, prices and designers. It’s so easy to search for a specific item of clothing, or just browse your main feed! This app is set up a lot like a social media platform - so you may even meet some new friends! :)

 

MILANOTE

If you haven’t figured it out by now, I am obsessed with organizing and productivity. The creators of Milanote understand. This app is amazing for tracking all of your list, ideas, random blog links, inspiration photos, etc. all in one place. What’s great about this is that Milanote not only helps you keep your style-life together, but every other part of your life as well!

 

PINTEREST

I feel like I don’t even need to describe this one. The beauty of Pinterest is that it can be a magical rabbit-hole of amazing ideas you’ll never get around to one minute - and an amazing tool to help you get a handle on your personal style the next.

 

THREDUP

Another great online thrift store! Unlike Poshmark, ThredUp is set up much more like a traditional online storefront. What’s also great about ThredUp is once you determine your personal style and have items to part with - they make it so easy with their closet clean-out kits!

 

HONEY

Do you ever google coupon codes when you get to the checkout screen while online shopping - only to be overwhelmed by all of the options that hardly ever work? If so - Honey is AMAZING. When you are finishing a purchase, this feature will automatically search for and apply all coupon codes for that particular store getting you the lowest price! I LOVE this feature when putting together my capsule wardrobes - it is a huge help to making sure I stay within budget.
