This is very much how I was trained as a salesperson selling women’s clothing, to talk to customers. I always advised my customers to close their eyes and see how they felt in it. Sit down, move around, raise your arms, bend your legs. I also advised them to walk towards the mirror and not stand in a static pose. And ignore the size, above all! Buy the best fit.

Great article, Maureen!💕

Love the helpful tips! I’m attending a new church and have been dressing using what I have and my intuition. I have not really done this since HS and I am about to be 60! It feels good and right! Sunday I put together an outfit that I felt good about but thought, “I would have never worn this to __.” I figure these people don’t know me and I’ll dress how I like! 😄 It’s very casual. But your writing really helps!!

This is so helpful. Thank you. I’ve started to really think about what I want to wear and I’m buying more mindfully. I’d rather spend more for something I truly love and will wear over and over rather than something that’s a good price

Love this and it's something I'm really working towards in 2025. I have such a weird relationship with my intuition because it was clouded by anxiety for so long so now I'm getting to know it again and trusting what I wear has been a fun and easy way to start. The being present is so true — I can easily imagine all the ways something will work for a made up setting, but most days are just "Wednesdays" and I need to picture how something will wear in the here and now!
