The Style Challenge: A 9-step guide to creating a capsule wardrobe and a curated closet you will love
Change your life with small changes that yield big results.
Why do so many smart and successful people (presidents, celebrities, entrepreneurs, and more) opt for a curated closest that simplifies their personal style?
Because it eases decision-making, allowing them to efficiently allocate their resources (time, energy, money) to more important matters.
Unfortunately, many smart people still struggle with how to dress because they don't know the secrets to curating the right wardrobe essentials. But if you learn the capsule wardrobe method you can improve your personal style and build a closet you'll love.
The Style Challenge will teach you how to create a curated closet with essential items that compliment your shape, aesthetic, and lifestyle. You'll learn how to thoughtfully select pieces with the perfect fit, fabrics, and colors for you.
Outfits — compose looks or "daily uniforms" from a small number of items that work seamlessly together.
Fabrics — select quality fabrics that work best for you and understand how to care for them to increase longevity.
Colors — create a palette of hues you love but also work well together so every piece can be combined effortlessly.
Silhouettes — understand how different fits and styles work for your body type and the activities you engage in.
The Style Challenge presents 9 steps that will help you save more time, spend more wisely, and increase your confidence. You'll never worry about how to dress again:
Step 1: Match your wardrobe to your lifestyle
Step 2: Develop a distinct aesthetic
Step 3: Evaluate what should stay or go
Step 4: Create a shopping checklist
Step 5: Budget for any wardrobe needs
Step 6: Determine a set of "go-to" brands
Step 7: Shop without impulse purchasing
Step 8: Increase the longevity of your clothing
Step 9: Maintain your commitment to a simple style
As Stendhal once said “only great minds can afford a simple style.” If you are up for the challenge get ready to:
curate a beautiful and practical collection of only quality essentials that you absolutely love
cease the unnecessary stress and daily frustration associated with a subpar closet and stop worrying about what to wear
create a personal style that maps to your lifestyle (and life phase) so you look and feel polished no matter what you are doing or where you are going
The Style Challenge is the fourth book in the Streamline Your Life Series — a set of challenges that teach you how to live with awareness, clarity and focus. Yes, there will always be difficulties but life doesn’t have to be so hard — especially when you commit to essential living.
These step-by-step guides support you on your journey to simplifying each area of your life — from work and wellness to style and relationships. Though lightweight and easy to read, they offer a wealth of inspiration and information on how to live a good life, effortlessly.

After reading this short book, I didn't realize I already do the things the author suggests to do to create a capsule wardrobe. I have a few brands I go to that I know my sizes in and only purchase pieces that I really must have. I keep a mental shopping list of pieces that I am constantly looking for, to fill in needs or pieces that help define my 'style'. A succinct step by step guide to starting from scratch if you haven't already attempted to create a personal style 'uniform' or capsule wardrobe.

Broad ideas without specifics so it was a waste of time and money. This was a list of info I was looking for without the info, like a facade.
This text will not enable you to build a capsule wardrobe because it does not give specific info. Nothing added to my knowledge or skills.

Loved it.
She asks the best questions to really get you thinking. It’s a short but powerful read. Can’t wait to read the other books in the series.
