Summary

It's all been done. I can't start until it's perfect. What if the critics come? What if I start and then can't follow through? What if my voice doesn't matter? What if I don't actually matter? What if it's already too late? 
 
Sound familiar? Do you find that year after year you stay stuck in the same tired, broken scripts fear uses on all of us? 
 
It's time for a wake-up call. Because so often when faced with the choice between creating nothing and creating failure, we choose nothing. Another year goes by. The clock goes on ticking. And the world is worse for our absence. It's time to move from stuck to start. 
 
This book does the heavy lifting to dismantle all the lies fear uses, move you out of an endless spiral of your own excuses (not to mention other people's opinions), and bring you right up to a threshold of no return--this place where we become people who feel the fear and move forward anyway. With equal parts powerful prose and tactical action steps, Underestimated will become the essential go-to field guide for anyone who is ready to once and for all quit playing small.

    One year. A whole new perspective on style, spending and self-image. 
     
     
    Have you ever stared at a wardrobe full of clothes thinking ‘I have nothing to wear’? You're not alone. Millions of women are stuck in the frustrating cycle of shopping for the perfect outfit, only to find themselves overwhelmed and confused as to why no matter what they buy, they never look the way they want to. This expensive obsession drains our wallets and leaves us feeling empty, especially when we face new cost-of-living pressures. 
     
    Emma Edwards, financial behaviour specialist and founder of The Broke Generation, broke free from this cycle with a radical experiment: one full year without buying any clothes. No new clothes, no second-hand finds, not even rentals. In The Wardrobe Project, Emma shares her raw, honest journey of stepping away from what she calls the ‘hamster wheel’ of spending. She confronts our culture of consumption and the impossible standards women are forced to chase ? and reveals the empowering transformation that followed. 
     
    What you'll discover: 
     
    How to understand your buying habits and ways you might be outsourcing your identity to consumption 
     
    Real-world strategies for surviving weddings, work events, and ‘nothing to wear’ days ? all without buying something new 
     
    The link between body image and fashion consumption, through Emma's raw month-by-month insights into changing the way she saw herself 
     
    The unexpected power that lies within your existing wardrobe and how wearing what you can have can change everything 
     
    Practical techniques for saying no to impulse buying, whether you're in the store or shopping online 
     
    Ways to find confidence beyond the perfect outfit and rediscover what brings you joy 
     
     
    The Wardrobe Project is your guide to gently shifting your spending habits and finding confidence within yourself instead of searching for it on a rack. It might even tempt you to take on the no-buy challenge as you discover your inner brilliance, without the need to add to cart.
