2025 Inside the Closet

This mx flatlay is inspired by the Matriarch Archetype of "Punk Protector" - embodying some of the main characters who are willing to throw hands for those they love, this outfit is heavily inspired by Sarah Connor's look.

Some utilitarian items like a utility jacket and matching bag make this outfit travel-ready for any badass on the go!

This ms flatlay is inspired by the Matriarch Archetype "Cozy Caretaker" - embodying the soft and comforting energy of a mom making your favorite meal, what better way to show your love of baking than with a butter purse?! Or for the green thumbs and flourishing floral tenders, details like pressed flower earrings, a bouquet pendant, or a floral print corset top are lovely accents to add in. This sweet look is made all the better with a cozy cardigan blouse, and button front skirt with great pockets for all the goodies we need help carrying! And pair of fashionable but functional tan loafers completes this whimsical outfit!

The mx Star Wars flatlay this week is inspired by a classic character type in the world - the Stormtrooper! Just say things like, "We don't need to see his identification," and everyone will know right away who you're embodying! One of the easier looks to recreate, as it focuses on a black and white color scheme, you can still get creative by adding fun details like the Imperial insignia or something unique like a stormtrooper ring.

The mr Star Wars flatlay this week is inspired by smooth talker, Lando Calrissian, known for quotes like, “Yeah, I’m responsible these days. It’s the price you pay for being successful.” This professional inspired take of Lando's outfit pulls his color scheme of blue and black together with a touch of gold, but instead of gold lining on his cape, we're adding the pop of color with a cardigan and draping a navy blue raincoat over the top of the entire look. A wide waist belt adds a point of interest that is more similar to the actual costume, but you can always trade that out for a black leather belt paired with the dress pants if you prefer a simpler look.

The ms Star Wars flatlay this week is inspired by the character, Rey. This jumpsuit is already based on Rey's outfit, so by adding a cream colored cowl and other neutral color accents, you can create more interest in your outfit. Simple accents like the gold Jedi Order symbol on a necklace are a fun touch for this particular character and a shout-out to the Star Wars fandom!

The ms fashion flatlay inspired by a fantasy scholar world, embraces the outfit of a whimsical alchemist. Following a natural color palette of greens, brown, and creams, details like floral embroidery on the overdress add feminine elements without taking away from the studious inspiration. Accent details such as a magical-looking green ring, bronze celestial-inspired earrings, and a curious pin bring some backstory to this outfit. Don't forget your belted hip pouch to keep important documents or crafting components close by during long nights of research!

The mr fashion flatlay inspired by a fantasy scholar world embodies a professional and proper academic. A blue and brown color palette with natural fiber textures gives a feeling of comfort while remaining put together with fitted elements such as a fitted vest, paisley print ascot, and floral embossed oxfords. Small details like a bronze pocket watch, leather satchel, and lion head handle umbrella add an air of aristocracy to this suave scholarly look.

The mx fashion flatlay inspired by the fantasy scholar world. The sharp contrast of black and white with gold details makes this a simple but elegant statement. Gold rimmed glasses, constellation earrings, and unique items like antique style collar pins and a black and gold satchel help you to embody a focused academic.

The ms floral flatlay embraces badass details by combining the elegant and flowy floral print strapless dress with a fitted black and white blazer, black corset belt, and red high heels to match red drop earrings in the shape of flowers. Some touches of gold accessories like the rose ring, and detail on the black ring pull the gold detail on the rose print and black purse all together with a simple but elegant black watch.

The Mr fashion flatlay is inspired by stormy weather - for the debonair man who needs a water resistant look while still feeling fashionable, a sleek rain coat and waterproof boots can be paired with wool or linen trousers, which hold up well in wicking water. Add some accents like a waterproof bag, a water resistant watch, and a walking cane/umbrella all in one to complete this professional but still cool look!

The Ms fashion flatlay is inspired by stormy weather - with one part rainfall and one part 90s throwback, this outfit embraces transparent details like a clear raincoat, umbrella, purse, and even heels! Paired with a beaded dress worn beneath the coat, you'll think of rain falling down your window, and adding some unique accessories like an aquamarine ring the color of a cloudy day alongside some rain drop earrings will especially embody stormy weather! Adding details like a black corset belt helps pull this look together with the black detailing on the heels, the black of the watch face, and the black umbrella handle for a cohesive monochromatic outfit that embodies stylish April showers!

The mx fashion flatlay is inspired by stormy weather and the Renaissance Faire! Fear not, my adventurous friend; you can still look stylish while also being prepared for the storm with some key clothing items that also look great together! Opt for wool fabric to help stay warm and dry, or linen as a natural option that stays on theme but still works for gloomy skys. If you can find a waxed cloak, all the better, but they may not be as easy to come by. A pair of water proof boots (and wool socks) are important to keep your feet dry, and for a more modern approach, don't forget that you can find some unique options like a stylish umbrella that doubles as a walking cane and can work well for that secret noble on a quest who really just doesn't want to worry about getting wet!

Storage tips: get rid of the broken or bent hangers in your closet and replace them with wood or velvet lined hangers! Depending on your wardrobe needs, look into purchasing a shirt (no bar across the bottom), suit (bar across the bottom), or pants/skirt (bar shaped with clips on the bottom) hangers for your items. As you wear things, flip the hanger in the opposite direction so by the end of the season you can see how many things you actually wore at a glance!

Storage tips: use vertical space with hanging shelves, or over the door shoe racks! You can also store off-season clothing in plastic containers so you can see what is inside, and stack them by season!

You could even focus on just floral jewelry or a floral shoe if adding it to your clothes feels like a challenge.

If the color is too intimidating, try playing with floral textures or abstract prints in neutral tones. This black and white abstract floral dress is even more dynamic when paired with a black floral lace blazer over top!

Want to start mixing florals? Start by choosing a similar theme - whether that's the same color, or even type of flower, for consistency through your outfit. This pink skirt has a subtle embossed floral print and compliments the pinks of the larger floral print blouse it's paired with!

A great option for leaning into your love of florals is to pair big prints with small prints in your outfit! Both this top and skirt use similar colors on white backgrounds, but the scale of flowers differs between them making it easier for the eye to take in the entire outfit instead of fighting for where to look!

The mx fashion flatlay features a "power accessory" of a printed scarf, this particular print reminiscent of storybook illustrations with some whimsical strawberries and leaves.
