THE CLOSET PLAY DATE: A Creative Ritual to Rediscover Your Style (and Yourself)

By Sasha Anton & Casa Le Blanc

There’s a moment every woman knows too well: You open your closet, stare at everything you own, and think…

“How do I have all these clothes and nothing to wear?”

But the truth is: You’re not lacking clothes.

You’re lacking connection, to yourself, to your creativity, to the woman you’re becoming.

Welcome to The Closet Play Date, a powerful yet playful ritual I created during a season where I

felt disconnected from myself.

I was showing up for clients, work, motherhood… but not for myself.

One afternoon, I decided to try on outfits without rules or judgment. To mix textures, moods, and “wrong” combinations.

To play again.

And something shifted. I found versions of myself I had forgotten, softer, stronger, bolder, freer.

This is not just about outfits.

This is about rediscovering YOU.

Let’s begin.

Why You Feel Like You Have Nothing to Wear (Even With a Full Closet)

It’s not because your wardrobe is boring or outdated.

It’s because:

• You’ve been dressing for old versions of yourself

• You’re choosing “safe” over “expressive”

• You buy pieces for who you wish you were, not who you actually are

• Life has changed, but your wardrobe hasn’t caught up

• You’re overwhelmed, overstimulated, and under-inspired.

  
  

You’re not stuck.You’re simply overdue for rediscovery.

The Closet Play Date, is your reset button, your creative reset, your confidence reset, your identity reset.

1. Turn Your Closet Into a Creative Studio

Today, you’re not getting dressed. You’re creating.

Light a candle. Play music that makes your shoulders drop. Clear a small space on the floor.

Your closet becomes an art studio.

You become the artist.

Outfits become your medium.

Give yourself permission to explore without needing perfection.

2. Pull 8 Items (Your Creative Props)

Not outfits.Not “looks.”Not categories.

Props for reinvention.

Choose:

• 1 elegant or dressy piece

• 1 office or classic item (blazer, trousers, button-up)

• 1 weekend basic (tank, tee, denim)

• 1 bold accessory (statement bag, red heels, jewelry)

• 1 texture piece (linen, satin, lace, leather, knit)

• 1 unexpected wildcard (kimono, robe, swimsuit top, scarf)

• 1 layer you rarely wear

• 1 “Why did I buy this?” piece

  
  

These items will break your usual patterns and that’s exactly what you want.

3. Build 5 Creative Outfit Combinations (Zero Rules Allowed)

Choose the formulas that call to you.

Let curiosity lead.

1. The High–Low Clash

Mix something TOO fancy with something TOO casual:

• Silk slip + oversized sweatshirt

• Sequin skirt + crisp button-down

• Satin dress + sneakers

• Blazer + biker shorts

That tension?

That’s where style lives.

2. The Texture Story

Build an outfit based on feel, not color:

• Linen + leather

• Satin + chunky knit

• Tweed + cotton

• Lace + wool

  
  

Texture is what makes an outfit feel expensive.

3. The “Wrong Season” Trick

   
   

Break the rules on purpose:

• Sundress + boots + long coat

• Linen pants + heavy sweater

• Swimsuit top under a blazer

  
  

This is editorial energy, not logic.

4. The Color-Pop Formula

Full neutral outfit + ONE bold accent:

• Beige set + red heels

• All black + cobalt bag

• White shirt + tailored trousers + cherry lip

  
  

The pop is the personality.

5. The 3-Piece Level-Up

Take a basic outfit and elevate it instantly:

• Tee + jeans + structured vest

• Slip dress + long cardigan

• Wide-leg pants + fitted top + oversized scarf

  
  

The third piece is the magic.

4. Document Everything (Yes, Mirror Photos Matter)

Mirror photos aren’t vanity, they’re clarity.

You see balance, proportion, attitude, energy. You notice what works and what doesn’t.You discover the versions of yourself that feel most you.

These photos become your personal lookbook, ready for the days when inspiration runs low.

And you’ll be shocked at how many incredible outfits you already own.

5. Make a Mini Moodboard of Your Top 3 Looks

Open Canva. Upload your favorite three outfits.

Arrange them like a mini editorial spread.

Title it:“This Is My Creative Era.”

Because it is.

This mood-board becomes your style compass, a reflection of the woman you are becoming.

If You Feel Stuck, Try One of These Quick Prompts

• Wear something “too fancy” for today

• Try a color you haven’t touched in years

• Mix two textures that don’t go together

• Dress for the mood you want, not the one you woke up in

• Pick one piece and build 3 looks around it

  
  

Tiny shifts → big transformations.

What This Ritual Unlocks

• Confidence

• Creativity

• Self-expression

• A sense of control instead of chaos

• Appreciation for what you already own

• A softer relationship with your body

• A clearer sense of style

• A reconnected version of yourself

  
  

You’re not just rediscovering outfits.

You’re rediscovering your identity.
