Input question

A comprehensive personal style course based on Kay Barron's book 'How to Wear Everything'. The lesson should adopt the perspective of a fashion editor and psychologist, focusing on building a timeless wardrobe, intentional consumption, and dressing for confidence rather than following trends. Cover the philosophy of style, identifying personal identity, smart shopping frameworks, outfit systems to reduce decision fatigue, and the psychology of clothing. Include practical exercises like the 7-day closet refresh and the 90-day wardrobe transformation plan. Reference: Kay Barron, How to Wear Everything: A No-Nonsense Guide to Dressing.
