I started the week by sharing these outfit pictures on Instagram, however, I quickly realised that I was focusing more on finding the right angle or which funny GIF to post with the outfit on my story, which wasn't the point. So for this to work, I needed to do what the influencer did and take candid snapshots of my outfits that were just for me to look at. This wasn't about creating outfits that would generate the most likes or reactions from other people—it's a trick that can help you to hone your own personal style.
Knowing I had to take a picture did subtly impact what I wore each day, as it made me think about wearing a different jacket from the day before, say, or adding a slight variation to one of my favourite outfits. It was a helpful push to make me more aware of my personal style and what I feel the most confident in. Looking over my daily outfits, I can clearly see what makes up my own "capsule wardrobe". I wore 18 items that week, but the things that repeated the most are an oversized trench coat from Mango, a green floral wrap dress (which I wore twice that week), my black croc-effect Chelsea boots, a bucket bag and some small delicate shell earrings. You'll see one of these five items in every picture from the week. In my head, I wear floral midi dresses the most, however, my diary shows that jeans, a crew neck jumper and blazer are my actual fail-safe outfit.
