Overconsumption Is Killing Your Style: How To Find Your Personal Style & Build An Intentional Wardrobe, with Conni Jespersen

I'm SO sick of "having nothing to wear"... I’ve been going through a wardrobe crisis lately—I dread getting dressed, and despite having way too many clothes, I never feel like my wardrobe reflects who I am. I feel disconnected from my style and the things I buy, and I'm not the only one. Hitting different life stages and engaging in a cycle of overconsumption—buying more but feeling less satisfied—has left a lot of us without a clear sense of style and identity. Today, we’re tackling both issues: how to define your personal style with confidence, and how to cut down on mindless shopping and fast fashion.I’m joined by Conni Jespersen, educational wardrobe stylist and founder of Art in the Find, who has spent over a decade helping people craft intentional wardrobes, edit their closets, and break free from excessive consumption.
