| If you … | You might … | Consider: |
| Keep every piece of clothing you've ever owned | Be clinging to the past through the sentimental value of your pieces | Adopting the Golden Wardrobe Ratio: Get rid of 2 out of 3 items you own, including anything too big/small, ripped/torn or outdated. |
| Wear only neutrals, largely devoid of accessories | Be stuck in a psychological rut, too comfortable to shake it up, or too afraid to draw attention to yourself. | Deviating from your routine in small ways (a different route to work, a few new spring accessories--like these inexpensive ways to incorporate trendy polka dots--to jog your brain into feeling excited |
| Dress in clothing too large for your body | See your body differently than others see it, or as a reflection of the way it once was. | Bringing an honest friend shopping to find out what looks great on you, ignoring sizes and getting used to wearing clothes that really fit. |
| Have been told you're dressed inappropriately or too sexily | Consider the same outfit appropriate for every occasion (i.e. clubbing and family barbecue), or be looking for the wrong kind of attention. | Consider the image you want to project in given situations (at work, on the town) and choose outfits based on cues from those around you |
| Dress too young (or too old) for your age | Be trying to express the age you feel you are, but getting caught between your actual and internal age | Gearing your outfits toward your goals (like getting a promotion, meeting a significant other, traveling the world), rather than a specific age. |
| Are always in work clothes | Value yourself primarily through your work and work-related accomplishments | Recognizing your talents outside of work (great artist, compassionate, fun to bring to parties, etc.) |
| Covered in designer logos | Think you need to broadcast wealth in order to be treated well by others | Practice wearing "blank canvas" pieces and only accenting with logos to emphasize that people value you for more than your labels |
| Live in your "mom outfit" of jeans and a hoodie | Put the needs of your family before your own | Take more "me time." Remember: When mom isn't happy, nobody is. |
