it's so awesome maybe takes me like 3 minutes to put together an outfit and 9 times out of 10 i will feel very good about it
personally i stick to black grey brown green blue. it's fine to bend the rules a bit (it's your closet you have free will the rules aren't even real) but it's good to stick to so you can a) avoid buying too much shit, b) wear colors you actually feel good in, and c) get dressed so fast if you need to bc everything works together
also don't buy something unless you can come up with at least 5 different outfits you can make with it. no point getting something if it doesn't fit in w the context of ur wardrobe. then u just won't wear it and it's a waste

the thing that helps me most is keeping my closet relatively sparse. i’ve found that having a solid selection of essentials helps me pick outfits quick just by mixing and matching between layers. especially if you know what colors/cuts work for your body type and tone and stick mainly to those, picking an outfit is just a matter of checking off bottoms, tops, outer layer, shoes, etc. this method will lead to repeat outfits but fr who cares if you look good in it?? I literally have one kind of sock but just tons of pairs of it because I know it goes with everything.
obv this advice does not apply to stuff like formal wear and seasonal stuff like winter gear/swimwear that will only be worn occasionally, but keeping just the A-team selections you have and filling specific niches with what you buy as you phase stuff out that you no longer wear means you always know you look good in what you have.
tldr: if you don’t wear something, you won’t miss it. only keep what you wear

you don’t necessarily have to be maximalist or anything to have that shit on. most of it is in the attitude. make sure the clothes aren’t wearing you <3
my shopping strategies are 1) shop less and 2) make sure i can make at least 4-5 outfits with a potential piece before buying. then it has a context in my closet
i will use pinterest for inspo but use it as a jumping off point, not as a means to flat out recreate what u see

preface: i am waging a constant war against owning stuff and clothes are the biggest culprit, this does not apply to those of you who don’t care about that. pls continue doing whatever the hell you want & be happy
anyway yeah it helps with not owning so much shit to have a philosophy about what kind of stuff you want and why, keeps the bad purchases to a minimum
personally i think of things as everyday shit, fancier/special occasion shit, and things that can be both. i try to own as much of things that can be both as possible and as little of the special occasion shit as possible. i’m a fairly aggressive uniform dresser which helps (same silhouettes changing specific items depending on weather & season) but yeah it just gets so easy to think ok in this one incredibly specific situation i’d wear this thing but in reality no you never will wear that thing give it up to someone who will
