Daily Inspirato Definitions

The following definitions were created by Daily Inspirato to support the Clothing Confidence Methodology.

Clothing Confidence

Clothing Confidence is a term coined by Daily Inspirato that signifies the feeling she experiences when her clothing matches the way she wants to appear in the world. Her confidence radiates through her clothing and her body language. Her clothing is an expression of the self-acceptance she embodies.

Personal Style

Personal Style is composed of three elements: 1) knowing how to dress your body (4 C’s), 2) expressing vulnerability, and 3) resiliency. Women with Personal Style aren’t afraid to express themselves through clothing and ultimately care how clothing impacts the way they show up in the world.

The 4C’s

The 4C’s consist of 1) cloth, 2) color, 3) cut, 4) comfort. These are the essential elements in crafting a successful outfit.

Continuously Curate

You’re able to identify pieces that are, and are not, working for you in the moment (e.g. you put something on that find that it’s not serving you anymore so you put it in a box and intend to get rid of it). This is the cornerstone of the Refined Closet Cycle.

Creative Closet Space

When you open your closet in the morning, you are inspired. You are able to pick out an outfit that you like quickly. This is due to having a closet that is well organized (color, style), and enough space between hangers that allows you to see the closet (nothing in drawers).

Refined Closet Cycle

Maintaining a Refined Closet is founded on the following cycle: 1) consistently curate, 2) organize, 3) dedicate time to choosing outfits, 4) inspiration, and 5) notes.

Mindful Shopping Cycle

Mindful Shopping is founded on the following cycle: 1) have a plan, 2) spend time with piece before buying, 3) think about your wardrobe, and 4) look at cost last.

Hanger Value

a hanger isn’t just a $1 item; it’s much more. A hanger is a valuable asset that takes space in your closet (sacred), could ignite an emotional response depending on what’s hanging from it, and ultimately adds time to your process because it presents yet another item for you to look over.

Mind, Mirror, Reality [theory]

This theory was developed through the Daily Inspirato research. The theory states that for some women there is a disconnect between three elements: the mind, a mirror, and reality. The mind sees one thing, the mirror another, and reality is the most truthful of all three. Our minds are so powerful that they can impact what we see in the mirror, and it’s only until reality comes into play (through a photo, or comment) that we realize the disconnect.
