Stop Buying Things You Don’t Need: Develop a True Sense of Style and Better Closet in the Process

About this episode

Brooke DeVard discusses her experiences with the 75 Style Hard challenge and the importance of developing a personal style.

Today's episode is all about what I've learned from doing the 75 Style Hard challenge , created by fashion TikToker Mandy Lee (Old Loser in Brooklyn). The rules are to get dressed intentionally every day for 75 days, buy nothing new, document outfits, and set personal style goals. For me, daily styling has revealed that fit issues were the main reason I avoided many items in my closet, so tailoring has been the key to success in this challenge. I've realized I wear durable fabrics most and I've leaned into using hair, makeup, and accessories to refresh outfits. Tune in as I discuss the novelty effect, impulse buying, and the importance of “domesticating” clothes into a signature style, because ultimately, style is a relationship with what you already own.
