Wardrobe Alignment

Personal Rebrand
Written By Tara Derington

Prompt: Do the clothes in your closet reflect who you are now and who you’re becoming? What changes would help you feel more aligned with your personal style?

Right now, my wardrobe is halfway there. I’ve done a great job curating a collection of linen pants that feel effortless and aligned with my style, but I haven’t quite figured out tops yet. I want pieces that feel intentional but easy—structured yet comfortable—without feeling too plain or unfinished.

Layering is another challenge. I love the look, but I need to find a way to do it without overheating, choosing breathable, lightweight layers that add depth without bulk. And while I have a great collection of eyeglasses, I have almost no accessories. I want to start incorporating statement jewelry, scarves, or unique details—the little things that make an outfit feel complete.

I don’t need a huge wardrobe, just a well-curated one—pieces that make me feel put-together, expressive, and entirely myself every time I get dressed.
