[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't you reflect on what you like to wear, what flatters your figure, what colors look good for your skin tone, and whether you have any favorite patterns or textures? It takes thought to look good, OP. People always come here asking for wardrobe suggestions to look a certain way, but it's work to match the outfit to the person. What may look nice on other women might not look nice on you. Especially if you yearn for boring and bland, you want to make sure not to look washed out.

I don't want to look like the "put-together UMC women" of wherever, OP. I prefer to look like myself, which usually means pretty and cute (what I think looks pretty and cute). Yesterday I wore a structured long-sleeve linen top (the ones from Reformation that look a little like corsets), a mini skirt with tights, all in blue tones, and high-heeled boots. Today I'm tired, not going anywhere, so I'm lounging in my flower-print sweatpants (Gap collab with LoveShackFancy) and flower-print top and socks with little flowers. It's my feel-good outfit and very comfy, but does highlight my small waist, and the top is a flattering V-neck.

You can look sloppy and cute, BTW. You can look sharp and boring. I think you should figure out what you really want to express. Also, it's true that everything looks better on a slim, toned figure. [/quote]

Ok, I think the second paragraph went a little off the rails (miniskirt and corset top probably not great inspiration for someone looking to upgrade workout clothes) but the first paragraph is helpful about finding what you like.

I was struggling to get dressed outside of athleisure, especially on work from home days, because my closet wasn't working. What worked for me was using AI to help me fix my closet and it's absolutely transformed getting dressed in the morning.

I worked with Claude/ChatGPT to: 1) identify my color palette - this helps not only because I found out which colors I look best in (and it really does make a difference) but because it also helps me buy clothes that coordinate well with each other (picked a few neutrals and stay within palette, bam, no "does this top go with this bottom" color issues), 2) indicate what kind of style I like - including the work day and casual version of that style and identify what that I already own fits that style, 4) identify what gaps in my closet were making me feel like nothing worked together. I bought a few pieces and now my entire closet works together so, so easily. I also was able to get rid of a bunch of stuff.

Since I have my whole wardrobe uploaded, I can also easily ask it to create a capsule wardrobe for travel based on where I'm going and what I'm doing so now I don't overpack either. This isn't entirely necessary since everything works together pretty easily now, but it's handy.

I am now searching for a few things AI can't recommend - a few things that are a bit more standout and fun. But, I better understand my parameters, what works for me, and what works for my existing closet so I'm no longer tempted by things that will sit on my shelves.

As someone without a natural sense of how to put myself together it's been great. It took a bit of effort to get it going but nothing you couldn't do over a few hours on a slow evening or weekend morning. [/quote]
