Indyx Style Workshop: Week 2

in

It’s week 2 of the Indyx Style Workshop and it’s all about collecting inspiration. You’re not gonna have to twist my arm to scroll Pinterest for inspiration! I already have a 2024 style inspo board going (you may have seen it if you’re subscribed to my newsletter), so I have been adding to that. One thing the workshop mentioned was to go brad and consider why I like each image I am pinning. Maybe it is a certain element or possibly just a vibe it gives off. That added thoughtfulness is something I hadn’t considered before and I think I am already gleaning more insight into why I like what I like. A few take aways so far:

  • I like unfussy clothing and styling.

  • The clothes need to be comfortable and made from high quality materials, even in the inspo pics.

  • Layering adds so much dimension, but it isn’t somethign I’ve mastered in my personal style.

  • Pops of saturated colors are so much fun!

  • Accessories make the look, bags, baskets, scarves, and sunnies are what I am attracted to most.

  • So much denim and pants overall. I love dresses but am very choosy it seems.

Indyx Style Workshop: Week 1

in

I recently have become obsessed with the Indyx app. It’s a tool that helps you index your entire wardrobe, create outfits, and track how much you wear, all for free. It also has paid features that include a personal stylist and support for setting up the app (if you sign-up use my code GINASTOVALL and we’ll both get $10 credit for styling services).

Since I started using it about a month ago I have gotten so creative with my existing wardrobe. And that’s the whole point of the app… to show you what you own, and inspire you to get the most out of you wardrobe hopefully encouraging you to buy less and more intentionally.

Another free feature of the app is a multi-week style workshop. I started it last week and thought I’d share here as a sort of accountability measure and for posterity! Week 1 was all about setting intentions for the workshop, here are mine below…

Set your intentions

  • I want to use more of my wardrobe.

  • I want to have fun getting dressed each day.

  • I need to eliminate clutter in my wardrobe, it just makes me anxious and makes it harder to see what I own.

  • I want to (re)discover my personal style postpartum.

Set a commitment

I won’t fall for the the sunk cost fallacy and keep things in my wardrobe I don’t love and use.

Identify and release any negative or counterproductive beliefs or “rules” 

I am releasing the idea that a versatile and efficient wardrobe ias filled with basics and neutrals. I want to get comfortable injecting a bit of added interest through color, pattern, texture, and silohuette.

Unfollow accounts and unsubscribe from emails that don’t support this journey 

I recently unsubscribed from nearly all marketing emails and have been maintaining “inbox zero” for a few weeks. My next step is to audit the social media accounts I follow to make sure they align with the type of content I want to consume and aren’t just selling me on things I don’t want.
