Ha, I feel a little called out as one of your clients with what I think of as a "boring" style! If I want to dip my toe outside my classic wardrobe, I look for little things that can spice up what I already have. For example, I prefer clean lines, classics, button downs, dark jeans, etc. Dacy convinced me that I don't have to throw everything out and go full rocker like I so want to some days, but instead get a new chunky bracelet or layer necklaces, maybe add a band t shirt to the look. Pull one or two things that are why I gravitate towards a certain look or style and see if I like it on me without starting over. And some days, I still wear a button down and classic jeans/trousers and classic shoes. I definitely don't "push it" some days, and I tend to fall back to my classic style when i need that shot of confidence.

👋 Hi! fellow « boring » style-r here! If you are the Amanda who did a video with Dacy on her YouTube channel, please know that your style actually sound so very cool and assured, and that the video was the one thing that convinced me to work with Dacy. Relate to your rocker example, for me it’s 80s kids, I sometimes want to dress like my inner Punky Brewster, but that’s not totally me, and Dacy helped me understand that maybe I can channel that with a colorful sneaker or belt bag - and keep my all black tees and soft pants!

Re: Poshmark, I’ve had okay luck selling, but my plan is to delist seasonally and send what doesn’t sell (that is still name brand) to Thred Up and maybe get a little return on it that way.

Question- I feel like the clothes I want to wear and love on other people are not the things I reach for. I'm not sure why- any insight?

Thanks! A purchase pause sounds like just the thing.
