I can relate to this. I only feel confident and happy in very specific clothing, and any time I’m forced to wear something else due to religious reasons or business expectations, I feel awful. I remember crying when I saw myself in the mirror after a friend gave me a makeover when I was 15.I read the DisneyBound book today, and it had a really big impact on me. Yes, it's about DisneyBounding and how to do it (with lots of examples), but more than that, it's about embracing your personal style and expressing yourself through fashion, not just wearing what's expected.
I think I've spent a decent amount of time in my life wearing what I think others with think looks good on me or what someone else thinks is right for me, and while sometimes that's clothing that fits who I am, it isn't always. So I think I'm going to spend some time over the next few weeks going through my closet and figure out which clothing feels like it fits who I am and which doesn't really. As of right now, there's no plan to get rid of anything, but if I have it separated out, then I'll wear the clothing that fits who I am more often, and then I'll feel comfortable in my clothing more often.
I'm probably doing this a bit later in life than I should, but over the last few years I've really found myself on a journey to discover who I am outside of the expectations of others, and this feels like a natural evolution of that journey.
Also ... thinking I'm gonna DisneyBound Space Mountain CM for my second runDisney virtual 5K. Still not entirely sure what I'm doing for the first one, though.
I like your sorting idea. Do what makes you comfortable!
