Relationship with clothes

I struggle with my relationship with my clothes / my closet.
I really enjoy fashion and putting together clothes I feel comfortable in but also strong and dynamic in my outward appearance. I enjoy to dress myself in a way I feel like I’m representing myself as who I am. Once I wear clothes one the lines of “yep that outfit is me” I feel calm and connected to myself.
However I struggle shifting seasons when it comes to clothing. I have the feeling, that all my nice pieces I really love are made for summer and that my closet lacks of really cool signature pieces for fall and winter. This is not new to me from time to time a get that feeling.
I now have some birthday money left and want to invest in some new pieces.
But here is the point: I am so attracted to a lot of pieces and I would also like to buy something sustainable. I just don’t know on what “piece” to spend my money on (I also “shouldn’t” spend to much money on clothes right now) and this leaves me with the feeling that one piece wouldn’t make it right anymore.
I feel like I have nothing nice to wear for winter and that everything (which is still very nice but a couple of years old) doesn’t represent who I am anymore.
I don’t know how to solve this relationship to my closet, I know I have some really cool pieces and that I am not the kind of person who lacks (individual) “fashion taste” but I still think I need a lot of new pieces to be able to express through my clothes and feel comfortable and connected to what I am wearing. Since this this is a recurring topic for me and I often think about getting a new piece and then love that decision on the one hand but feeling guilty about spending money on the other – I would love to receive some coaching about my relationship with my clothes. Thank you 🙂

 

Answer:

What I am actually seeing coming through in your post is more about your relationship to money and spending money in particular. Particularly what I’m seeing is, “I shouldn’t spend too much money on clothes right now,” and the feeling of guilt when you even think about spending money. Why do you feel guilty when you think about buying a new piece? When you have time, watch the Money Mindset webinar in the Bonuses. It will have lots of helpful insights for you on this topic!
