As the U.S. Economy Wavers, Remixing Your Wardrobe Is the Smartest Style Move
We’re living in unpredictable economic times. Inflation, rising interest rates, and now new tariffs on consumer goods are making many of us take a closer look at our spending — not just on big-ticket items, but on everyday purchases like clothing.
According to Time magazine, tariffs on imported goods could raise prices on everything from electronics to apparel, affecting the average American shopper in subtle but significant ways.
But here’s the thing: the most stylish women I know aren’t panic-buying or overhauling their wardrobes. They’re doing something smarter — they’re remixing.
Remixing is a mindset. It’s about working with what you already own and styling it in fresh, unexpected ways. It’s the art of pairing that underused printed blouse with your favorite trousers in a new silhouette. It’s layering that sleeveless dress over a turtleneck, or cinching an oversized blazer with a statement belt you forgot you had. And when done right, it doesn’t just save money — it makes you look even more stylish.
Remixing is the secret sauce behind signature style
The women whose style we admire most aren’t constantly shopping — they’ve developed a distinct way of dressing that’s built on consistent elements, a strong point of view, and a little creativity. Think of it like a visual identity: you know it when you see it.
But signature style doesn’t just happen. It’s developed. Cultivated. And often, it benefits from the eye of an artist — someone who can see the hidden potential in what’s already in your closet, and help you see yourself in a new light.
That’s where working with a personal stylist can be a game changer
In my work, I’ve found that most women don’t need an entirely new wardrobe — they need a new approach. A fresh perspective. And a few strategic additions to bring it all together.
That’s exactly what I offer in my Audit, Edit, Elevate experience — a six-week, virtual style journey that helps you define your signature style, remix what you already own, and shop strategically (not impulsively). Through this process, I guide women through:
Auditing their existing wardrobe to uncover what truly works
Editing their closet to clear space and identify what’s missing
And finally, Elevating their style with personalized strategies, fresh ideas, and key pieces that reflect where they are in life now
By the end, clients feel confident in remixing and restyling their outfits, clear on their personal style, and empowered to shop with purpose.
The benefits of working this way — especially now — are enormous:
You spend less and get more out of what you already own
You eliminate decision fatigue when getting dressed
You feel confident that your wardrobe reflects who you truly are
And you start showing up — in your career and life — as the woman you want to be
Because in this economy, smart style isn’t about having more — it’s about seeing more in what you already have.
Remixing your wardrobe is more than a temporary solution — it’s a sustainable, stylish strategy that helps you take control of your image, your spending, and how you show up in the world. You don’t need to chase every trend or fill your cart to feel pulled together and powerful.
You need perspective. You need a plan. And you need to see your wardrobe as the foundation, not the problem.
The most stylish version of you isn’t hiding in a shopping bag. She’s already in your closet — waiting to be remixed.
Ready to see what’s possible with what you already own? Let’s talk. I offer a complimentary 20-minute discovery call where we can explore how my Audit, Edit, Elevate experience can help you find clarity, confidence, and a signature style that feels completely you.
