Beyond Black Friday: 3 Mindful Shopping Strategies for Lasting Style Success

Hi There,?

Now that we are officially in Thanksgiving Week, the Black Friday emails are flooding our inboxes, I want to take a moment to share something deeper than just another sale.

True style transformation isn't about collecting more pieces—it's about building a wardrobe that empowers you to show up as your most authentic self.

Throughout my nine years as a stylist working with individuals and groups, I've witnessed how the 'Black Friday mindset' isn't limited to one day of the year. With endless sales, promotional emails, and social media ads promising 'unmissable deals,' we're constantly tempted to buy items we never wear, succumbing to the pressure of 'amazing deals,' and ending up with closets full of regret rather than confidence. This cycle isn't just costly to your wallet—it's costly to your confidence and our planet.

Before you dive into the Black Friday frenzy, here are my updated Smart Shopping strategies for 2024:

1. Shop Your Strategy, Not the Sales Take a moment to check in with both your closet and yourself before clicking 'buy.' Ask yourself: Would I buy this at full price? Will this item honor my body shape and true size—not the size I wish I was? Will this item bring me joy and make me feel like the most authentic version of myself? If the answer to any of these is no, it's not really a bargain.

2. Calculate Cost-Per-Wear Instead of focusing on the discount percentage, think about how many times you'll actually wear the item. Consider your real lifestyle—not your fantasy one. Will you really wear those 4-inch heels when you're running between meetings? A $200 investment on stylish and comfortable heels?that fits your true lifestyle and you'll wear 50 times has a better cost-per-wear than a $40 'bargain pair of flats' that sits unworn in your closet.

3. Mind Your Mindset Notice if you're shopping from a place of lack ("I have nothing to wear") or abundance ("I'm investing in pieces that serve my vision"). Don't let FOMO or artificial urgency cloud your judgment—most "limited time offers" come around again. This simple awareness can transform your shopping habits and your closet.
