Hey, Style Slayers — Happy Moda Monday!
Welcome Inside the Closet! In this edition, we’re sharing 1 quest, 2 tips, and 3 looks to help you embrace your unique style superpowers — Let’s step in! 👇
1 Quest for you to try
Ever feel like your day has multiple plot twists? One moment, you’re on a work Zoom, the next, you’re heading to a casual coffee get-together, a dazzling date night, or other spontaneous adventure (AKA: walking the dog or errands typically). But who has time for a full wardrobe change?
Enter “The Great Fashion Migration”— we’re talking about the art of building a look that effortlessly shifts from one setting to another with just one or two strategic swaps. Think of it as your Clark Kent/Superman glasses moment—a quick transformation that makes all the difference!
Your quest this week: Create an outfit that effortlessly migrates from day to night with just one swap. What’s your “quick-change” power piece—the thing that instantly transforms your look?
How to participate
- Choose: Start with a solid base layer. Your base outfit should be comfortable, stylish, and adaptable. This could be: A sleek jumpsuit (can go from business casual to date night with just accessories), a midi dress (layer for work, remove layers for play), or tailored trousers + a fitted top (change shoes & accessories for instant mood shift).
- Create: Here’s where the magic happens! One quick change = a totally new vibe. For example, try swapping your shoes: sneakers ➝ strappy sandals or sleek boots for an elevated look; or a top layer swap like a blazer or button-up ➝ off-shoulder top, sheer overlay, or fun printed jacket.
- Capture: Share your outfit with #VostraModaQuest, or reply to this email with your entry.

2 Tips to help you slay
For this week’s quest, I’ve chosen my abstract floral print button-down as my transformative piece! I chose this as my base “item” to show you how I made 5 different outfits that range from casual to formal, even with a colorful item! The main takeaway? With just a bit of strategy, you can build an outfit that lets you seamlessly move between worlds – no phone booth required!
— This applies to seasonal transitions, too! As the weather warms up, your transitional outfit should be breathable & light – stick to linen, cotton, or airy natural fabrics to make the most of your layers. For more color-pop potential, try playing with pastels, brights, or sunset-inspired hues that can work for both professional & fun settings.
Our style suggestions
- Get creative: Planning to hit the beach straight from work? Why not wear your one-piece as a body suit beneath your skirt and blazer? Swap the heels for flip-flops, toss the work-wear into your back seat, and don’t forget your towel and sunscreen!
- Pop that color: Don’t be afraid to play around with pops of color that can be balanced with neutrals for a lower-key dress code or mixed with prints for fun settings!
