Kerri BridgmanI’ve never really been one to chase trends.
Even when it might have been easier to blend in—I stayed true to what felt like me. Dresses or leggings… very little in between.
A few pieces were bought to “fit in,” but most of the time? I owned my style, even when it didn’t match the moment.
Because for me, fashion has never been about keeping up. It’s been about coming home to myself.
Here’s the truth:
📌 You don’t need a brand new wardrobe. You need a wardrobe that feels like home. Like you.
Start With What You Love
Before you scroll another “must-have” list, try this:
Open your closet and pull out the pieces you always reach for.
The shirt that makes you stand taller. The jeans that move with you, not against you. The coat that feels like a cocoon on hard days.
These are your foundation.
Your capsule, but not in the traditional Pinterest-perfect sense.
Because the truth is, not everyone has the same job, lifestyle, personality or body.
Your version of a capsule might include oversized blazers, worn-in band tees, or silky dresses layered with boots.
It’s not about minimalism. It’s about resonance.
Shop Your Closet Before the Market
There’s power in rediscovery.
That long-lost dress at the back of the rack? It might just need a belt—or a bold accessory—to feel new again.
Those trousers that almost fit? A quick trip to the tailor could turn them into a favorite. (I took about 6 pairs of pants to the tailor finally to be hemmed)
This isn’t just sustainable. It’s soulful. Altering, repurposing, reimagining—these are creative acts. You’ve picked up these pieces once for a reason, what is stopping you from wearing them now?
They tell the story of a woman who doesn’t throw herself away when something no longer fits.
She adapts. She refines. She keeps what’s real.
Tune In, Not Out
Being part of the fashion world doesn’t mean you have to be loud about it. It doesn’t mean newness for the sake of it. It means staying curious about what makes you feel most yourself.
You can evolve without erasing your essence. You can honor your style without abandoning comfort. You can be in the industry and still in alignment.
Your Wardrobe, Your Way
Let this be your permission slip, to define style on your own terms, to build a wardrobe that supports, not pressures, you, to stop chasing trends and start cultivating belonging in what you wear.
Because the most powerful thing you can wear…is something that already knows you.
