Why You Should Stop Letting Social Media Teach You How to Dress

Social media has changed the way we discover style — but it has also changed the way many women see themselves. Every day, I work with women who are overwhelmed by aesthetics, discouraged by trends, or convinced they need a brand-new wardrobe because their favorite creator told them a “must-have” list.

But here’s the truth: Social media was never meant to be your stylist.

The algorithm doesn’t know your body shape, your career, your lifestyle, your values, or the season of life you’re in. It only knows what’s popular — not what’s personal. When you allow social media to dictate how you dress, you risk losing the very essence of your style: your story, your personality, your confidence, and your unique presence.

Your personal style is something only you can define — and it should be shaped by what makes you feel powerful, comfortable, confident, and seen. Below are a few ways to cultivate your authentic style without letting social media take the lead:

Honor what feels like you

Your best outfits are the ones that reflect your identity, not someone else's aesthetic.

Recognize what actually works for your lifeNo trend is worth wearing if it doesn’t match your lifestyle, daily rhythm, or body.

Identify your signature pieces

Building a wardrobe around what consistently makes you feel beautiful saves time, money, and unnecessary frustration.

Learn your current body

Not the body you had years ago, and not the body you're hoping to have — the one you’re dressing right now.

Use content for inspiration, not imitation

Look at style content the same way you look at art — interesting, beautiful, and thought-provoking…but not something to replicate exactly.

When you step into alignment with your true style, everything changes — your confidence, your presence, and the way you move through the world.

This is exactly what I help women do. If you're ready to build a wardrobe that feels like home, start with scheduling a Style Assessment.

Because style isn’t found on your feed — it’s found within yourself.
