Thousands of women around the globe are obsessed with finding their “Kibbe” type. About ten years ago, I went down the rabbit hole too and bought David Kibbe's Metamorphosis: Discover Your Image Identity and Dazzle As Only You Can. In this episode I rip a takeaway out of his system and relate it to how you can use separates strategically in your wardrobe.

If you want to save yourself the HOURS women spend trying to decipher their Kibbe type, here’s an alternative: you can do as one of my very first clients did. After I gave her her body type information and my recommendations, she asked me if I had any idea what her Kibbe type was. I was able to reverse engineer from my recommendations to a Kibbe type, which she resonated with but would never have gotten to using his methods.

Almost every wardrobe planning system assumes you already have clothes in your closet.

Sometimes a closet empties all at once. A new job in a completely different field. A fire or a flood. Leaving suddenly without being able to take anything with you.

This episode covers what to buy first when there's nothing to work with, and how few pieces it takes before you're covered. It's about eight.

Then it covers what that order can't answer. Which trouser shape. Which neckline. How long the jacket should be. There are three things about your own architecture that answer those questions, and each one lines up with a layer you're already buying.

There's also a woman who came to me after her house burned down. She had insurance money to replace everything and could have finished the whole thing in a single weekend. She wanted to be sure that what she bought would actually be right for her.

She was the mom of twin toddlers. She came in wanting to take the plunge and wear something besides tees and jeans. Mostly what she ended up with was tees and jeans, and she looked put together at the playground in a t-shirt.

Letting your Style DNA lead your wardrobe planning is the most effective way to build a closet that looks like you instead of the one you had before.

Marie Kondo got closet editing partly right. Category based sorting works. A defined timeline works. But asking you to judge one sweater at a time was never going to get you all the way there.

Marie Kondo asks you to hold one item and wait for joy, but building your favorite outfits first is what actually reveals what belongs in your closet.

This week: what works in the joy test, and how to build a wardrobe from outfits you already love.
