Shopping for new clothes is a favourite past-time and stress reliever that most turn to for some respite. Whether it is in treating ourselves to a new dress for a wedding or buying that new loungewear set for comfort during those lockdowns, we will find every excuse to make a purchase. And by the end of every year we try hard to declutter our overflowing wardrobes. Yet, come the new year, we do it all over again. Is there any way around to finally setting our resolutions to breaking those habits in the new year?
To understand more about why we do what we do, and to plan our wardrobes (and budgets) consciously for the new year ahead, I speak to the pioneer behind the field of Fashion Psychology, Dr Dawnn Karen, Author of Dress Your Best Life and Founder of Fashion Psychology Institute. Dr Karen, also known as the "Dress Doctor" has spent years studying the relationship between attire and attitude.
Tune in as she shares why emotions play a huge part in those shopping or style decisions we make and how we can take control over them to dress our best lives.
Get ready for a more mindful wardrobe in 2022!
