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
This week, I want to talk about “upgrading your inventory” for Spring! It felt relevant not just because it’s officially spring but because I recently finished a video game I’ve been working on for YEARS now, Assassins Creed Valahlla. One of the easiest ways to level up faster is to get better gear by upgrading your equipment as you go, but sometimes you need to dedicate time to a few side quests in order to upgrade said gear. You may also find that your own wardrobe needs some fresh “gear” or “upgrades” to stay functional as you level up your life! That’s why this week’s Style Quest challenges you to replace worn-out spring staples with upgraded versions—whether it’s a thrifted “new to you” treasure or a quality investment piece!
How to participate
- Choose: Pick 1 to 3 spring staples in your closet that need replacing or upgrading.
- Create: Find upgraded alternatives via thrifting, secondhand shops, or maybe even new quality investment pieces.
- Capture: Share your outfit with #VostraModaQuest, or reply to this email with your entry.
The most inspiring outfit will be featured next week! Please let me know if you would like to remain anonymous.
2 Tips to help you slay
For this week’s quest, I chose to upgrade my shoe game! As someone who tends to wear their shoes until they are quite literally falling apart (yes, I have had the sole of my shoe fall off while walking up a flight of stairs – 0/10 recommend), it’s time for me to invest in a versatile option that won’t let those April showers soak my feet!
— Your upgrade may look like overhauling your outerwear game! For example, instead of holding onto that well-loved hoodie your spouse let you borrow on your first date 15 years ago (and it’s now threadbare, missing the string, and has some questionable stains), upcycle it into a thrown pillow or even a memory bear! Then, add an XP (experience) boost to your style by upgrading to a lightweight jacket or cool blazer with the hoodie attached for more structure and shape without losing all the comfort a hoodie can bring!
Our style suggestions
- Swap out basics such as stretched-out or shrunken t-shirts or tops thanks to wear, tear, and washing cycles for well-fitting staples that boost your daily style. Make sure to do a quality check of the item before purchasing by checking the seams for neat stitching and reinforced seams in areas of high stress/movement for better durability
- Reorganize your accessories and remember that small details can make a big impact—repairing or refreshing your jewelry, belts, or scarves are easy upgrades that can make an outfit feel brand new without needing to invest a lot of time or money into the look
