I needed a wardrobe makeover — could an AI ‘stylist’ save me?
NY Post
It’s one of the most annoying dilemmas women face — wanting to look stylish at work, on weekends and on nights out, but getting stuck in a rut.
At the same time, finding the budget for standout pieces — or the hours to hunt online for clothes that actually flatter your shape — can feel impossible.
Personally, beyond the trial-and-error misery of online shopping, I’m burned out from slogging through fast-fashion stores and “basics” sections — a far cry from the joy I find in thrifting.
Between wildly inconsistent sizing, sometimes even within the same store, and harshly lit fitting rooms that seem designed to humble you, it feels like a losing game.
Add to that trend cycles that change faster than the seasons, making it impossible to know what I should be buying, let alone what actually looks good on me, and going shopping can feel less like self-expression and more like a personal test you’re destined to fail.
If money were no object, the obvious fix would be a personal stylist — but for most women, that kind of help remains a splurge, not a solution.
The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions.
