New Year, New Style: Personal Styling Myths and Setting Goals for 2025

Personal Styling Myths Debunked: Week 3 - “I Can’t Wear That Color”

Myth: Some colors just aren’t for me.
Truth: There’s a color out there for everyone! The key is finding the right shade for your skin tone. Whether you have warm, cool, or neutral undertones, there’s a palette that will complement your complexion. Here’s how to make color work for you:

  • Discover Your Undertones: Identifying your skin’s undertones (warm, cool, or neutral) will help you determine the best color family for your wardrobe.

  • Play with Shades: You might not look great in one particular shade, but it doesn’t mean you can’t wear that color in a different shade. For example, you might prefer deep red over bright red or navy over cobalt blue.

  • Embrace Color: Experiment with adding colorful accents—scarves, jewelry, or shoes can all be a fun way to add vibrancy without overwhelming your wardrobe.

Pro Tip: Still unsure about a color? Start small—try accessories in your new hue before committing to a full outfit.


Setting Style Goals for 2025

The new year is the perfect time to reflect on what you want to achieve, both personally and professionally. But have you ever thought about setting style goals for yourself? Just like any other goal, setting style resolutions can help you define your personal style, boost your confidence, and bring clarity to your wardrobe choices.

Why Style Goals Matter: When we set intentional style goals, we stop looking at our wardrobes as a chaotic mix of clothes and start seeing them as a collection of pieces that reflect who we are and where we’re going. Style goals can help you focus on what you really need, find pieces that truly serve your lifestyle, and give you the confidence to wear what feels best.

Examples of Style Goals for 2025:

  • Workwear Revamp: If you’ve been wearing the same few pieces to the office, try investing in one new key item each month to diversify your work wardrobe.

  • Experiment with Color: If you’ve been sticking to neutrals, challenge yourself to add a pop of color to your wardrobe—whether it’s with accessories, a statement piece, or bold prints.

  • Streamline Your Closet: Aim to reduce clutter by keeping only the pieces that fit well, feel good, and reflect your style. A wardrobe that works for you will help you get dressed with ease and confidence.

  • Master Mixing and Matching: Commit to getting the most out of your wardrobe by creating multiple outfits from a few key pieces. It’s a simple yet powerful way to refresh your style without buying more clothes.

Making Goals Attainable: The key to successful style goals is to keep them achievable. Focus on making small, intentional changes that you can maintain throughout the year. Start by setting one or two goals for the first quarter and build from there.

Style is a personal journey, and there’s no rush. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s about finding what works for you and celebrating the process along the way. Here’s to setting style goals that make 2025 your most confident and stylish year yet!

Weekly Style Challenge: The 7-Day Outfit Plan

This week, I challenge you to create a 7-day outfit plan using items from your current wardrobe. The goal is to pick out one outfit for each day of the week, mixing and matching pieces you already own. Not only will this help you organize your wardrobe, but it will also give you a chance to be creative and rediscover pieces you may have forgotten about!

How to Participate:

  1. Look through your closet and plan a different outfit for each day.

  2. Try to mix up your styles—don’t be afraid to experiment with accessories, colors, and textures.

  3. Take a picture of your favorite look and share it with me on social media using #StyledByJennChallenge!

The best part? You’ll save time during the week, feel more confident in your outfits, and get creative with what you already have in your closet!

Post to Social media, text or email me your outfits! Use #StyledByJenn
