9 MISTAKES THAT ARE KILLING YOUR STYLE

Writer's picture: raquelraquel

Yep, you heard it right! There are certain things we are all doing that are killing our own persona when it comes to dress as our best version.

Have a look below and let me know which one you feel identify with!


Sí, lo has leído bien. Hay ciertas cosas que hacemos que no nos benefician mucho cuando se trata de vestirnos. Sigue leyendo y ve con cuál te identificas tú.



1- NOT DOING FITTING SESSIONS AT HOME

Before you shop any more, it is a good idea to spend some time with your wardrobe. It can be fun, call a friend, put on some music, and do some sessions, you will be surprise how much your wardrobe has to tell you. Trust me!

I know it's a daunting task for a lot of people, but going shopping without really getting familiar with how many outfits you can make with what you already have , it will add more hassle to getting dressed every day.


If you want to read more about the subject, check this blog post:


1- NO HACER SESIONES DE ARMARIO EN CASA.

Antes de que compres nada más, es una buena idea que pases tiempo con tu armario. Es divertido, llama a una amiga, pon música y haz varias sesiones por prenda, por ejemplo: pantalones, faldas, empieza por las prendas de abajo.

Tu armario tiene un montón que decirte, ¡Te lo aseguro!

Se que esta tarea es abrumadora para muchos, pero ir de compras sin saber cuántos conjuntos puedes hacer con lo que tienes ya, añadirá más engorro al vestirte por la mañana.

2- NOT KNOWING HOW TO UPDATE YOUR OWN STYLE

From experience, all we need is just a second pair of eyes. Someone external that can have a modern, or fresh approach to our own persona.

This advise is not even related to following trends, but updating your own personality to be current.


2- NO SABER CÓMO ACTUALIZAR TU PROPIO ESTILO.

Desde mi experiencia, lo único que necesitamos , es una mirada fresca a tu propio armario y decidir en un par de cosas para modernizarlo.



3- NOT KNOWING WHAT TYPE OF BUYING PATTERNS YOU DO.


Knowing what type of "receiver" or buyer you are is crucial, because you will identify a pattern and then you can get out of it. If you want to know more about the subject,

3- NO IDENTIFICAR QUE TIPO DE PATRONES SIGUES AL COMRAR.

Saber qué tipo de comprador eres es crucial, porque verás patrones de compra, colores, formas, y analizarás si te están haciendo algún favor a tu forma de vestir o no, y por tanto a tu armario.

4- WANTING TO LOOK LIKE SOMEONE ELSE

Inspiration is great, but it takes some time to actually try and test if that desired style really suits you and you do feel 100% comfortable in it.

Give yourself some time with your inspiration, as you will get there and find your real self and best version in clothes.


4- QUERER PARECERSE A ALGUIEN

Coger inspiración es genial, pero estamos bombardeados de ella y no todas las veces nos queda bien a nosotras mismas. Tenemos que adaptarla. Pero confía en mi, con inspiración, llegarás a encontrar tu propio estilo.


5- WHEN YOU SHOP YOU DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE OR WHAT SUITS YOU


A common mistake guided by marketing strategies and trends. I am all for a good shopping trip, but I am even more into trying and trying and trying my own clothes nowadays, and prepare for the shopping planning. You will be surprise of how your wardrobe changes!


5- CUANDO VAS A COMPRAR, NO SABES QUÉ BUSCAS O LO QUE TE FAVORECE.

Un error común guiado por estrategias de marketing y tendencias. Me encanta una ruta de compras, pero me gusta más probar y probar y probar hasta que me encuentro a gusto en un estilo. Y preparar la lista de la compra para después.


6- MISSING BASICS


You do need pieces that you are going to reach day in, day out, that make you feel great, and know exactly what to wear in a minute.

In my experience, we tend to be very excited about a piece, and fill our wardrobe with too many "statement" or "fashion" pieces.


6- NO TENER SUFICIENTES BÁSICOS

Necesitas ropa de la que vayas a echar mano dia si, dia también, pero que te haga sentir genial, y saber exactamente qué ponerte, si te dan un minuto.

Por experiencia, tendemos a emocionarnos por alguna prenda, y llenar nuestro armario con demasiadas prendas "fashion" pero no básicas.



7- HAVING TOO MANY BASICS


On the contrary, I also see wardrobes with too many basics. If that is the case, the outfits may loose personality if they are not mixed well together in terms of having a variety of textures to play with, which will give the basics a totally different outcome when put together.


7- TENER DEMASIADOS BÁSICOS

Por el contrario, también veo casos con demasiadas prendas básicos. Si ese es el caso, los conjuntos pueden perder personalidad si no se combinan bien juntos en términos de tener variedad de texturas con las que jugar, que dará a los básicos un toque diferente cuando van juntos.



8- NOT PLAYING WITH TEXTURES


Playing with textures gives a great effortless vibe to an outfit. Denim and cotton, sequins and cotton, silk with wool...you know what I am talking about. Mix it up!


8- NO JUGAR CON TEXTURAS

Jugar con las texturas da un toque interesante a cualquier conjunto. Vaqueros y algodón o seda, seda y lana...ya sabes de lo que hablo. ¡A mezclar!



9- LACK OF KEY ACCESSORIES


I am not one with too many accessories, but I have learned over the years, having JUST the right ones will do wonders for the outfit. Invest in them.


9- QUE FALTEN ACCESORIOS

En esta siempre fallo yo, he aprendido que los accesorios justos le dan el toque final a cualquier conjunto.



And you? which one do you feel identify with?

¿Y tú? te identificas con alguno?

Great article! I must confess I identify with all of them except for number 6. Number 9 is my absolute weak spot.

Like
  • Do I need to be actively involved in the process once I purchase the Style Breakthrough service?
    Yes. This service is designed for individuals who are truly ready to commit to discovering their authentic style and breaking free from impulsive, unfulfilling purchases. We work with clients who are at a stage in their lives where they want a more intentional and sustainable approach to their wardrobe. By trusting the process and fully engaging in it, you’ll achieve lasting results—a style that feels effortless, cohesive, and truly you.
  • Will I have to get rid of all my clothes?
    Not at all! The goal is to work with what you already have and refine your wardrobe, not to start from scratch. We’ll assess what truly aligns with your style, what can be repurposed, and what might not be serving you anymore. The process is about intention—curating a wardrobe that supports your style, not just replacing everything for the sake of it.
  • Will the Style Breakthrough service change me into someone I’m not?
    Absolutely not! This service isn’t about forcing you into a specific style or making you dress in a way that doesn’t feel like you. Instead, it’s about uncovering and refining the style that already aligns with who you are at this stage of your life. Think of it as a process of self-discovery—one that empowers you to feel more confident, authentic, and in control of your wardrobe. You won’t be told what to wear; rather, you’ll gain clarity on what truly resonates with you, so getting dressed feels effortless and right for you. This is about embracing your style, not changing it into something it’s not.
  • Do I need to be passionate about fashion to benefit from the Style Breakthrough service?
    Not at all! The Style Breakthrough is for anyone who wants to feel confident and authentic in what they wear—whether or not they follow fashion trends. However, this service is about more than just clothes; it’s about shifting your mindset around style and shopping. To truly benefit, you need to be open to change. If you’re ready to break free from old shopping habits, stop wasting money on pieces that don’t work, and build a wardrobe that reflects who you are, this process will give you clarity and confidence. But this may not be the right fit if you’re looking for a quick fix without a commitment to real change. Style isn’t about following rules—it’s about redefining your relationship with your wardrobe and embracing a new way of dressing that truly serves you.
  • Is the Style Breakthrough service only for people who feel lost in their style?
    Not at all! While the service is perfect for those who feel disconnected from their wardrobe, it’s also designed for anyone who wants to refine, refresh, or evolve their personal style. Whether you’re going through a life transition, seeking a more cohesive wardrobe, or simply wanting to shop with more confidence and clarity, the Style Breakthrough will help you build a wardrobe that truly represents you. It’s about making style effortless, authentic, and aligned with who you are—wherever you are on your style journey.
  • Why should I book the Style Simplified session instead of jumping straight into a full service?
    The Style Simplified session is a great starting point because it allows you to gain essential insight into your wardrobe and style goals, without committing to a larger service right away. If you’re not sure where to begin or feel overwhelmed by the thought of a full transformation, this session helps break things down into manageable steps. Think of it as a powerful checkpoint that gives you the information you need to move forward with confidence—whether you choose to continue working together or implement the insights on your own. If you’re ready for a shift but need help figuring out where to focus, this session is your ideal first step.
  • What can I expect to gain from the Style Simplified session?
    n this session, you’ll gain clarity on your current wardrobe’s strengths and weaknesses, a deeper understanding of your shopping and style habits, and a personalized action plan for moving forward. You’ll walk away with key takeaways that will help you avoid wasting money on pieces that don’t serve you and begin creating a wardrobe that aligns with your authentic self. It’s a highly informative session, and by the end, you’ll feel empowered to make better shopping decisions and be clear on the direction your wardrobe needs to go to reflect who you truly are.
  • I feel overwhelmed by my closet. Can the Style Simplified session help me with that?
    Yes! If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your closet, the Style Simplified session is a great way to gain clarity. This session helps you break down your wardrobe in a calm, guided way so you can understand what’s truly working and what needs to go. We’ll focus on simplifying your approach to style, making the whole process less stressful and more aligned with what actually feels good for you. However, please note that we need to focus on one season at a time. If you have a large wardrobe, we’ll begin by breaking down your favorite pieces, and I’ll provide exercises to help you continue the process on your own. The goal is to create a manageable, actionable plan for your wardrobe that’s tailored to your current needs. By the end of the session, you’ll feel more confident and in control, with a clearer understanding of how to move forward without feeling bogged down by unnecessary items or decisions. This session is a starting point, not a complete wardrobe overhaul, but you’ll have the tools and insights to carry on organizing and refining your closet with ease.
  • What if I don’t like the style you suggest for me?
    There’s no one-size-fits-all “look” that I impose on clients. This process is collaborative, and everything is built around your personality, preferences, and lifestyle. You’ll be involved every step of the way, ensuring that your final style direction feels natural and authentic to you. My role is to guide, refine, and bring clarity—not to dictate or change who you are.
  • What is a Wardrobe Audit?
    A Wardrobe Audit is a deep assessment of your current wardrobe to ensure it aligns with your personal style, offers versatility, and works cohesively as a whole. This process isn’t about discarding everything you own—it’s about understanding what serves you, what doesn’t, and how to create a more intentional, well-balanced collection of pieces that truly reflect who you are. Using a structured methodology, we evaluate your wardrobe for consistency in style, cohesiveness, variation, and balance—even if those terms don’t mean much to you yet, don’t worry! The process is designed to give you clarity on what works, what’s missing, and how to make getting dressed effortless. By the end of the audit, you’ll gain a clearer sense of direction, ensuring every piece in your wardrobe contributes to a style that feels natural and empowering. If you’re tired of feeling like your closet is full of clothes but nothing quite works together, this is the step that will change that. Check out the Style Simplified one-hour session, which will give you a taste of an Audit today and start building a wardrobe that truly works for you!
  • What is the Style Simplified session, and how can it help me?
    The Style Simplified session is a one-hour, personalized consultation designed to give you clarity about your wardrobe and your style goals. It’s a guided conversation where we explore your purchasing habits, assess what’s currently in your wardrobe, and uncover where you want to take your style next. This session is perfect for anyone feeling stuck, unsure, or overwhelmed by their wardrobe. Through this process, we’ll identify key insights about what’s working, what isn’t, and how to refine your wardrobe to better reflect your personal style and lifestyle. It’s an empowering way to take the first step toward a more intentional and functional wardrobe, with no judgment—just guidance and clarity.
  • I’ve tried finding my style before, but nothing sticks. How is this different?
    This isn’t just about picking a few outfits—it’s a deeper process of understanding why you’re drawn to certain styles, what actually works for your life, and how to break free from habits that keep you stuck in a cycle of dissatisfaction. It’s about rewiring how you think about your wardrobe so that you no longer second-guess yourself or make impulse purchases that don’t serve you. If you’re ready to commit to that shift, this will be the last time you need to “find your style.”
  • I want to change, but what if I go back to old habits?
    Real transformation happens when you’re truly ready for it. This isn’t a quick fix—it’s a shift in how you approach style and shopping. If you’re open to rethinking how you see your wardrobe and willing to step out of your old patterns, you’ll come out of this experience with a completely new mindset. However, if you’re not yet ready to let go of past habits, this may not be the right time for you—and that’s okay! The best results come when you’re fully committed to embracing change.
