    #41: What I Learned From the Clothes I Never Wore

    In this episode of The Styled Life Podcast, we’re diving into the style mistakes we’ve all made—and how they can actually become powerful tools for discovering your personal style. I’m sharing a few pieces I’ve recently let go of during a wardrobe cleanse—items I once loved (or thought I did) but never actually wore. From the chain-strap bag that weighed me down to turtlenecks and mini skirts that didn’t suit my lifestyle, each of these “mistakes” taught me something valuable about what really works for me. Style is a journey, and every misstep is a clue. When you understand why a piece didn’t work, you can stop repeating patterns, make smarter choices, and build a wardrobe that truly feels like you. We’ll also talk about how to analyse your own closet clear-outs so you don’t just declutter—you learn. ✨ In this episode: Why holding onto unworn pieces creates clutter and confusionWhat your past style “regrets” reveal about your preferencesHow to use mistakes to refine your wardrobe moving forwardThe power of letting go—and making space for what suits you nowThis is the perfect episode if you’ve ever stared at a closet full of clothes and thought, “Why don’t I wear any of this?” Download the FREE Capsule Wardrobe Guide: https://learn.styledbygulinka.com/capsule-wardrobe-guide Download the FREE Travel Capsule Guide: https://styledbygulinka.mykajabi.com/travel-capsule-packing-guide Work with me here: https://www.styledbygulinka.com/personal-styling Join the waitlist for The Styled Life Personal Styling Course: https://www.styledbygulinka.com/thestyledlife-waitlist Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts.

    #39: Why Keeping Clothes That Don’t Fit Is Holding You Back

    Have you ever held onto clothes that no longer fit — just in case? I’m sharing why letting go of pieces that don’t serve you anymore is one of the most empowering steps you can take for your personal style and self-image. As a former "just-in-case" jeans keeper myself, I know how hard it can be. But holding onto those clothes doesn’t just take up space — it can quietly chip away at your confidence and keep you stuck in a past version of yourself. In this episode, I’ll walk you through: Why your clothes should fit you (not the other way around)How “someday” clothes can block wardrobe clarity and joyWhat to do instead when a piece no longer fits your life or bodyThe mindset shift that makes decluttering feel lighter — even joyfulLetting go is making space for the version of you you're becoming — and for a wardrobe that truly supports you today.

    #34: Feel Like You Have Nothing to Wear? Start Here.

    Before you head out to buy something new, have you taken a moment to really explore what’s already in your wardrobe? In this episode, I’m diving into the power of shopping your own closet first—a mindful, sustainable, and confidence-building approach to personal style. Each year, Australians purchase up to 56 new garments, and yet nearly 40% of our wardrobes often go unworn. That’s a huge opportunity to reimagine what we already own and get creative with what we have. In this episode, I’ll cover: Why shopping your own wardrobe can save you money, reduce overwhelm, and help the planetHow a wardrobe declutter and a few styling mindset shifts can bring your closet back to lifeTips to identify wardrobe gaps, so any future purchases are intentional and aligned with your styleHow to get inspired and recreate new looks with what you already ownThe role of organisation and outfit repeating in building confidence and refining your styleI’ll also share some of my favorite personal tips—like how I use hanger flipping to track what I’ve worn, why I love “no-spend” style challenges, and how styling your own wardrobe helps you strengthen your fashion intuition and personal style muscle over time. If you’ve been feeling like you have “nothing to wear” while staring at a full closet, this episode is for you.
