Clean Slate Challenge 2022

What if you woke up tomorrow and all your clothes were GONE? This is the question I posed to 12 of my favorite creators I follow on IG for style inspiration, you’ll see their answers below! I originally posted this clean slate concept in 2021, but I decided to bring it back in 2022!

Answering this question for yourself might sound daunting at first, but thinking about it can show you a few things about your closet you may not have realized.

Being forced to start over means:

1. Buying for now. (Whatever chapter your in, whatever your lifestyle is now.)

2. Buying for your body now. (No more trying to make your body fit your clothes.)

3. Seeing what you wear most. (Your first 10 purchases tell you what you value most.)

4. Buying for your style. (We collect a lot of “likes” over time but our top 10 shows us our “loves”.)

5. Shopping for your values. (Small business, black owned, female owned or sustainability weren’t things I was mindful of or intentionally sought out years ago.)

What does your top 10 tell you? Below are my answers one year apart, and its interesting to see how my lists have evolved! Not that I don’t love those old items, I still do, but their replacements are things I would HAVE to have now, things I currently value more.

Your clean slate 10 tells a lot about what you V A L U E which you can use to inform future shopping and help you evaluate what you wear the most in your closet! What would some of your clean slate items be?
