Every once in a while, I start to feel a little underwhelmed by my own closet. I’ll wake up feeling like it’s just another day, only to look into the deep abyss of clothing in my room and realize that, regardless of the shirts and pants spilling off the shelves, I have absolutely nothing to wear. Feeling like possibly the least stylish Fashionista in the world, I often give up in defeat, throw on a sad pair of old jeans and call it a day. Unfortunately, this typically results in intense feelings of jealousy toward every stylish person I pass combined with a sinking feeling of failure—a sad combination that I try to avoid at all costs. So how can one dodge this inevitable event in every girl’s life? This Fashionista shows how it’s done.
