Your style journey is not a race or competition. Make it a leisurely stroll at your own pace. Stay positive and relax. Take the time to figure out your needs. Keep within your budget. It can take years to build an effective, authentic wardrobe. 

Don’t worry about missing out. There will always be another great find, another sublime bargain and another opportunity to buy the item of your dreams. Sometimes it takes years, but that makes the ultimate acquisition even sweeter.

Be kind to yourself when experimenting with something new. You might not see the desired results right away, but the effort and learning counts for a lot. Pat yourself on the back each time you get a little closer to your goals.
