You’ve heard it. You’ve said it. You’ve probably even typed Whatutalkingboutwillistyle into a search bar at 2 a.m. I have too.

I used to stare into my closet for twenty minutes every morning. And I’m not alone.

Jeans that fit right feel like cheating. You know the drill. You stand in front of the mirror. You scroll past ten pairs online.

Fashion changes fast. Too fast. You scroll past someone’s outfit and think Wait (when) did that become a thing? Then you see it again. And again.

I know that feeling. Staring into your closet. Full of clothes. Still wearing the same three things. You’re not broken. Your closet isn’t broken.

Why do fashion shows look like they’re trying to scare pigeons? You’ve seen them. The giant hats. The models walking through snowstorms indoors.

Fashion is not just clothes. It’s the first thing people notice about you. And yeah (I) know what you’re thinking.

I used to think fashion style meant buying what magazines told me to wear. Wrong.

You hate staring into your closet and feeling like you have nothing to wear. Even though it’s full. I’ve been there.

I stare into my closet and feel nothing. Not inspiration. Not excitement. Just blank panic.
