At 62 and retired, I’ve been figuring out what “my style” looks like in this next chapter of life. I’m dressing more casually now, but I still want to look put-together and feel good in what I wear.
That’s where Frump Fighters came in.
I decided to try their calendar on a whim — and wow, am I glad I did. The calendar is so easy to follow. It gently walked me through my closet and helped me make practical decisions instead of emotional ones. I was able to:
✔️ Create a clear list of what I actually need
✔️ Identify what was too dingy, too old, or simply never worn
✔️ Let go of pieces that didn’t fit my current lifestyle
Somewhere — maybe on the Frump Fighters blog — I read the question:
“Knowing what I know now, would I buy this piece again?”
I was shocked at how many times I said no.
I’ve tried the Marie Kondo “does it bring you joy?” strategy before. The problem? Every bargain I ever scored brought me joy — because I was so proud of my bargain-hunting skills!
But here’s the truth I had to face:
A $100 blouse you bought for $10 is not a bargain if you never wore it.
That one question changed everything. It helped me see my closet through the lens of who I am now, not who I used to be or who I thought I should be.
The result? SIX boxes of clothes gone!
Now my closet looks better — and I feel better getting dressed every day. It’s amazing how much lighter you feel when your space reflects your real life.
And I want to be very clear: I do not know the woman behind Frump Fighters. I’ve never met her. She doesn’t know me. I’m not being paid or asked to say any of this. I’m simply a 62-year-old retired woman sharing what genuinely worked for me — woman to woman.
I’m including a photo of my very first Frump Fighters outfit — and I can honestly say I feel comfortable, current, and like myself in this new season.
If you’re in a season of transition like I am — retirement, lifestyle changes, or simply simplifying — I hope you’ll check it out.
