 Welcome back to my channel guys, it's your girl Coco Styles and on this channel we talk about beauty, fashion and lifestyle and styling guys. So in today's video I just wanted to talk to you guys about why you never have anything to wear okay and it really boils down to your wardrobe basics guys. You guys do not have a closet with a basic essentials so you're struggling. If you are finding that you are sitting in your closet day after day, morning after morning and you can't find anything to wear you don't have your basics in there guys. I'm telling you download my wardrobe essentials basic list for work and this will help you in preparing yourself for the day okay. You guys know if you do not have your clothes out the night before you will struggle the day of unless you ever know that you have outfits prepared right from before. So let's talk about why you're in this situation. You're not shopping with intent, you're just impulse buying, you're shopping sale items pretty much everything that you buy that's on sale really has no place in your wardrobe and guys you're not being smart and wise when it comes to your style clarity. Style clarity is when you know exactly what you're what you like and what your style is right. So if you're going in the store and you pick up a pink tutu and you know it will you don't do pink tutu don't pick it up guys. So in order to get out of that habit because I think social media kind of pushes us all it's just impulse buy things that we see because there's so many influencers, YouTubers or whatever in you know they put things together really well but it's actually for their body and them right. So we see these things we want to try and then we buy it it's just in our closet with tags on it we're trying to get away from that. So other things that you've probably tried to do is fix this yourself without hiring a professional to come in and kind of guide you through it right. So YouTube is like going to a university, TikTok can help you but sometimes some people learn a little bit different regardless of if they are seeing videos everywhere they still just can't get it. So that's when I come in as a style coach and kind of like help you through your style clarity so you're not making the same mistakes again and not overspending guys. So that's what I was going to jump into. You guys are overspending on things you're buying luxury you're buying all this stuff but then you have none of the other stuff to go with it. I love luxury too but I have basics in here okay. So what you guys can do is to make sure that you have your basics shop from a shopping list that you create. Here's some homework. YouTube, Pinterest, Google. Find about 10 photos of people that you actually love their style. I don't care who it is it could be an influencer it could be a celebrity or a community cousin jail okay. Find 10 photos and look at these photos pick about maybe 10 things out of each photo or all together and that you really love. Then head over to your closet. If your closet is not matching that style you've been shopping wrong and you're pretty much wasting money guys so what we're trying to do is get away from wasting money because we're not in the business of what wasting money guys. So if that's not what your closet looks like now you have to do a purge. Let's get this stuff out that does not belong in it. Let's keep what we know we're going to wear right. After you get those photos then you create a shopping list. Create a shopping list of the things that you need in your wardrobe which are your basics guys. Once you have these basics in your closet I guarantee you life will be so much easier because you can actually make outfits within your basics okay and each basic actually adds onto a piece that you have that's bold so do it like that grab the 10 photos pick out 10 things that you actually love from them the style wise the fit whatever it is the color the pattern and then head to your closet if your closet again it's not matching it you're not shopping right and you're most likely wasting money and most likely you have clothes in your closet that have tags that's been sitting for months guys so that is a quick tip and how do we stop doing this we start shopping with intent we make sure we're shopping with intent we're shopping from a shopping list now here's the thing don't think that I'm saying guys you're in a strict routine no you can still impulse by but be strategic about it okay if that's something that you know you have a lot of that color in your closet and it can go with it then by all means do it I'll give you an example those Jennifer Lee boots that I bought the driftwoods right the reason why I got them people would say oh they're so bold hot but I love the army green the army green is for me like I know that I have a lot of colors that can go with it in my home so even though it's not a basic I know that those boots were not cheap that they can actually go with about 10 to 15 other things in my closet so that's what I mean by shopping smart and not it impulse buying in the right way right so let me know what you guys think about that comment below if this is something that will help you out shopping from a shopping list and starting with your wardrobe basics and here's a key tip guys your wardrobe basics you should actually be really investing in them guys don't skim on them don't buy cheap things because these are the things that you're gonna be using over and over and over again so I just wanted to come on here really really quick drop that little jump for you guys so if you like videos like this please comment below and if you say to the end of this video please comment cocoa we see you guys go head over to my Instagram I post every single day tips about everything you can possibly think of when it comes to styling and that's Cocoa Styles NY and my website is Cocoa Styles NY for your styling services to book your concentration and my blog is Cocoa Styles NYC guys so head over check those things out grab your work wardrobe freebie and start building that wardrobe with intent and purpose guys so I will catch you guys in the next one bye
