25 – This One Book Changed My Entire Style Philosophy

A lot of us are on the same wavelength right now. We’re seeing some of our old staples, like skinny jeans, back on the scene! But instead of breaking out the 2008 cropped vest and shoe boot trends to go along with them, we’re looking for modern ways to wear our once beloved wardrobe pieces.

In fact, I received 2 nearly identical questions from women in HER Style community recently about this very thing! So today, I’m excited to share my take on NEW ways to style your favorite skinny jeans, knee-high boots, ballet flats, and baggy sweaters.

Stick around as we take your closet from the edge of yesterday to full-on fashion forward.

I shared in another HER Style Podcast episode that 82% of women are self-conscious about their midsections. So it’s no surprise that our friend, Tracy, reached out for some advice to help highlight her narrow waist while, at the same time, hiding her lower tummy.

This is a challenge that many of us face. And so I’m excited to share a few simple tips to help you master the art of directing attention where you want it to go. Let’s work a little magic on your outfits today so you can create the illusion you want with your looks. I promise, this is a lot easier than you might think.

Did you know the average female size is 16-18? This is not “plus” size. This is average size! Unfortunately, the fashion industry has not caught up to this fact. I realize there is more size inclusivity, variation in body types displayed on retail sites, and other resources to support you in finding the right fits. But between vanity sizing and fit inconsistencies from one store to another, as well as from one product to another within the same stores themselves, the act of trying on clothing can be incredibly frustrating.

Today, I want to talk about why it’s not you, it’s your clothes. Let’s get real about why your size DOESN’T matter at all and what IS actually important to consider when it comes to fit. Buckle up, friend. I think this is a conversation we all need to hear!

If you’ve been striving to invest in fewer but better pieces in your wardrobe, then today’s Q&A Thursday episode is one you do not want to skip. Thanks to a handful of questions sent in by our friend, Claudia, I’m covering everything you need to know about selecting high-quality fabrics, avoiding sweaters that pill at the very first wear, and why some pieces cost significantly more than others even when they’re made from the exact same materials!

I know the challenges of trying to read fabric labels, evaluating which brands are best, trying things on, and still struggling to find clothing items that stand the test of time. Let’s solve as many of these struggles as we can today.

But first, before we get into this episode, I want to let you know that I have just 3 Q&A Thursday spots left in 2024! So submit your question now to be featured in an upcoming episode!

You love the idea of feeling comfy and cozy, but these wardrobe staples come with a lot of questions. Which underwear looks most flattering underneath? How can you minimize all the lumps and bumps that coincide with such form-fitting pants? What should you look for in terms of fabric and quality? And how can you create more flattering outfits out of these simple basics?

You can thank our friend Linday for submitting this topic for today’s conversation. Because we’re going to dive into the nitty gritty of leggings and joggers and explore 3 simple ways to look your best in both.

Getting dressed should be easy, right? It’s just clothes! How hard can it be? You know your style, you have a vision of how you want to look, and all you need are the outfits. But when you go to shop, you hit the same roadblock over and over… Nothing fits.

Pants are too tight in your waist and too loose in your hips. Jeans are too short, but the rise is too long. You want a wrap dress but you can’t find one that hugs your curves and hides your insecurities. And don’t even get me started on finding a comfortable pair of shoes that still look sexy and cute. Of all the style struggles I hear from my clients, fit frustrations seem to take the cake.

But friend, this is not hopeless. You can solve this for good. I truly believe that. There’s a critical step you might just be overlooking on your style journey. So in today’s episode, I’m going to share one easy exercise that could make all the difference in helping you find the right fits for your figure so you can shorten the learning curve when you’re shopping and boost your confidence when styling your outfits. 

And it all starts with a lesson we can learn from my son and a game of Trouble…

One of the biggest shifts I’ve seen in the last 5 years or so in fashion is the desire many of us have for less in our wardrobes. I hear words like “streamlined closet”, “simple outfit formulas”, and a general want for fewer but better options when it comes to getting dressed. Our lives are busier and we want our wardrobes to be more functional than ever.

Maybe you find yourself in a position like our anonymous community member who sent in today’s Q&A Thursday question. She’s on the hunt for pieces that can go from casual to dressy, so she doesn’t need to stock up on more than is necessary for her life as a mom and new business owner. She wants to transition easily and effectively from caring for her littles to meeting with clients. But of course, this doesn’t mean your wardrobe needs to be boring! Because she’s also looking for ways to add fun pops of color and dress in hues that flatter her skin tone.

If you’re nodding along right now, thinking about how much you want this, too. Then, stick around and join me for this episode where we’re going to talk about easy ways to dress up your outfits in a snap along with fool-proof tips to branch out from neutrals and pick pops of color that bring out your best. I can’t wait for this one! Let’s get into it, friend.

If you’re feeling the itch to upgrade your wardrobe, your first question is more than likely, “Where do I start?” I hear this all the time from women who’ve cleaned out their closets, curated their style moodboards, and are left facing the big, daunting feat of… What’s next?

I’m all about buying new pieces with strategy and intention. And while I’ve talked about general tips to figure out your own shopping needs and priorities on the podcast, we’ve never really explored the core clothing items you should start with in your wardrobe. So today, as always, we’re going to cover this topic in a very personalized way. Because there’s no one-size-fits-all capsule formula for everyone. But if you’re feeling overwhelmed or confused about where to start, let’s eliminate the guesswork and give you a significant and strategic leg up on the journey to building a wardrobe you love.

It feels a little funny to admit that I have never tried a digital wardrobe app. It’s very possible that you have more experience than I do in this area. But I received a question from our friend Stefanie recently about whether they’re worth it. Even though my personal experience is limited, I have a lot of thoughts.

In this episode, I want to explore the pros and cons of digital wardrobe apps. We’re going to break down the reported benefits like organization, wardrobe cataloging, sustainability, and style inspo. But we’ll also talk about the one major glitch I see and whether it’s actually worth it to digitally catalog your wardrobe using one of these apps. If you’ve been wanting to organize your closet online or better maximize what you own, this is one conversation you’re gonna want to stick around for.

My son, Grey, turned 6 over the summer and started kindergarten this fall and I can't believe how fast time is flying. It feels like just yesterday he started asking the 3-letter question most moms dread… WHY?

WHY… do I have to go to bed earlier than the grown ups?

WHY… is it dangerous to take a flying leap off my bed?

WHY… can't I have that toy I just saw for the first time in the Amazon holiday catalog and now absolutely need or my entire life will be over?

A lot of my son's questions over the years have been science-related and my response is always the same… “That's a really good question for Opa!” (← Opa is my dad, who just so happens to be a scientist! So that’s convenient, right?) While a majority of Grey's questions are repetitive or out of my league, I still encourage him to ask — even now. Because asking WHY gives us the opportunity to make better informed decisions in our lives.

WHY is it important to ask this question when it comes to your wardrobe? I'm so glad you asked, friend! I want to help you get to the heart of why certain things work for you while others don't.

Because if you’re anything like HER Style Collective Member, Ginny, you’ve been doing your research, following all the fashion rules, and maybe feeling more restricted and confused about what to wear than ever before. In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Ginny to talk about the pitfalls of soaking up TOO much miscellaneous style advice, how to learn the (right!) rules like a pro so you can break them like an artist, and of course, we’re going to give you an inside peek at what’s waiting on the other side of joining us in the Collective this fall.

PLUS, keep your eyes and ears open this week, because I will be revealing some very big surprises around HER Style Collective in just a couple of days. So make sure you’re following HER Style Podcast on your favorite podcast app! For now, here’s my conversation with Ginny…

Hey friend. I don’t know how long you’ve been on your style journey, pouring into your education, becoming more aware of your shopping choices, and putting extra thought into your outfits. But I bet you’ll agree that one of the hardest things at the beginning of this journey is figuring out how to dress to flatter your body. You’ve probably taken a deep-dive into shapes and silhouettes, proportions and prints. And there’s nothing like FINALLY getting it down and confidently working this knowledge into your daily routine.

But then… things change! You start losing some weight in your midsection. You get pregnant and your hips become even more prominent, like our friend Karen who submitted today’s Q&A Thursday question. Or your feet grow and all of your shoes feel just a little too tight, like mine. (I really need to start accepting my new shoe size!)

Yes, your body isn’t going to stay the same forever. Your style is going to ebb and flow. Your coloring will likely soften with age as well. But the good news is you don’t have to start all over!

In today’s episode, I’m going to help you see how a few subtle tweaks each season will keep your closet on track, your style knowledge sharp, and your outfits looking incredible on you. Let’s explore HOW to dress for your shape and proportions no matter what changes come your way.

With the exception of my seasonal trend updates, I would say almost all of the episodes on HER Style Podcast contain timeless style tips you can relisten to and apply season after season. So I thought it might be fun to mix things up just a bit and share a very timely episode today.

I know it can be a major struggle to figure out where to shop. Should you look online or in local stores? Which brands are best? Where do you begin the hunt?

While I can’t say for sure without knowing more about your specific lifestyle, preferences, and budget, there are a handful of stores that have been hitting it out of the park with multiple clients and myself lately! In this episode, I’m sharing the top 8 women’s clothing stores my clients and I are loving right now. Some of them might surprise you, some of them might be new to you, and some of them might be familiar favorites worth revisiting. Either way, I think this list will expand your shopping choices and maybe even help you adjust your shopping criteria moving forward.

I can’t wait to tell you where my clients and I have been scoring big with our wardrobes this fall. So snuggle up with your pumpkin spice and let’s break down this list of favorites!

Truth or dare? Okay, it’s actually truth or truth today because I don’t have a good dare in mind for you… But I’m very curious to know how your wardrobe has evolved over the last several years.Have you been working to elevate and streamline your looks? Or has your closet become a sea of outdated and oversized pieces that make you feel more sloppy than stylish?

Remember, this is a JUDGMENT-FREE ZONE, my friend. And if your collection feels like the latter, you’re definitely not alone. Clothing has become much more casual, we have less of a need to dress up than ever before, and if you’re half as busy as I think you are, your wardrobe has probably been one of the last things on your mind. Well, maybe until now.

I know you’re here, listening to HER Style Podcast, for a reason. And like our friend Elise, who submitted today’s question for Q&A Thursday, you might be ready to build a high-quality wardrobe that works for your casual, everyday life. Dressing for the dog park and to work from home doesn’t mean you have to default to the same athleisure looks everyone else is wearing or settle for your old, shapeless gym clothes anymore. Let’s find a way to spruce up your collection so you can feel your best no matter what’s on your calendar!

Get ready, friend. Today, we’re facing one of the most frustrating style challenges I know you’ve been experiencing head-on: “It looks great on her, but stupid on me.” (Stupid is a bad word in our house, so let’s hope my son doesn’t hear this episode anytime soon or he will totally call me out on that one!)

But in all seriousness, I help my clients tackle this problem all the time! You get an idea of a cute outfit in your mind, but then you struggle to pull it off in real life. Something looked amazing on that influencer, celebrity, or stranger, but it doesn’t look the same way on you. You can’t figure out what’s “off” with your outfit. And here’s the real curveball… 9 times out of 10, it’s not the pieces you’re wearing that are the issue, it’s the way you’re putting them together. 

So let’s get to the root of your outfit woes! I put together the ultimate outfit troubleshooting checklist to guide you in pinpointing the REAL problem and fixing your look when you know it’s not working. Let’s run through this list today so you can feel equipped with the knowledge you need to style your outfits like a pro.

3 – Why Your Color Season Doesn’t Matter and What You Want to Know Instead

I think it’s fairly common for us to look like mini versions of our moms or the ones who raise us as kids. And it makes sense. In a healthy home environment, you probably idolized your parents or guardians at least for a time. They helped you pick out and buy your clothes. Maybe they chose everything for you. Maybe they forced you to wear things you hated, even if it was just for the annual family holiday photo!

But as we become adults… or defiant teenagers… or highly opinionated preschoolers… and we come into our own sense of style, it can be hard to let go of the opinions of others. You want to be yourself, but maybe you still care what your parents think. It could be even harder if you’ve lost your mom, like our sweet friend, Francesca, who submitted today’s question.

So how can you honor the past, the style of those you still look up to, and be true to yourself? How do you sort out what to keep and what to let go of when you inherit someone else’s wardrobe? And how do you manage it all without grieving all over again?

We have a lot to unpack in this episode. But if you’ve been wrestling with any of these questions, this is a conversation we need to have. So go refill your coffee, get cozy, and let’s figure out how to honor the past and the present so you can move into the next chapter of your life and style journey with confidence, clarity, and peace. It’s time!

Would you love to have a closet full of quality clothing options… without having to buy a thing?

Do you hate the idea of investing in pieces you might be tired of wearing by the end of the season?

Are you worried about wasting money on the wrong clothes?

What if there was one simple solution to all of these questions? There is! It’s called a clothing rental service and it might be the answer to your style prayers! But before you rush over to Rent the Runway, there are 5 critical questions you need to answer first. And in today’s episode, I’m handing over a quick checklist to help you determine whether it makes more sense to rent or buy the wardrobe items you need next.

Plus, I rounded up more than a dozen clothing rental service companies to explore! We’ll talk about how to differentiate between them, the pros and cons, and how to get started if renting is the right move for you. Stick around and let’s see if we can save you a little money while you bring in some new gems this season.

Picture this… You walk into your favorite store, excited to do some shopping for the new season. But as you enter, you notice the front table has sloppy piles of disheveled jeans, jumbled up sweaters, and what looks like an outfit someone wore yesterday laying right there on the floor. You almost tripped over it! As you move further in, you see that there are mismatched hangers, zero rhyme or reason to the organization of things, and clothes packed onto the racks so tightly, you can barely see what’s there.

This is so stressful, right? It would take you forever to sort through! So you get frustrated, you give up, and you walk out. Because clearly, this store is going downhill and it’s time to start shopping somewhere else.

I think we’ve all had this experience at the mall or another retail store every now and then. But for many of us, this is also what we face everyday when we go to shop… in our own closets.

If you’re not thoughtfully organizing your space, keeping your closet streamlined, or using a system to get ready, you’re probably giving yourself a lot more headaches and stress than necessary. So today, let’s figure out a closet organization solution — and an outfit planning method — so you can get ready quickly and actually enjoy it!

If anyone understands the challenges of having little to no time to shop, it’s me. It’s true! I’m a stylist who very rarely shops for myself. I frequently joke with friends, family, and clients that I’m basically the cobbler who has no shoes. But when you’re short on time and still want to stock your closet with well-curated pieces, it’s no laughing matter.

So in this episode, I’m going to share a few quick and simple tips to help you find what you want even if you have no idea what you’re searching for! Let’s stop using busyness as an excuse and start shopping faster, smarter, and more confidently so you can easily pinpoint the perfect pieces to wear for every activity on your action-packed calendar.

I would love to take a poll — and maybe you can follow up with me by email and weigh in on this! — to find out whether you’re team Spring & Summer Style or team Fall & Winter Fashion? Because often, I find that my clients have an easier time getting dressed in either the warmer or cooler months and the struggle to transition from one to the next can present a lot of challenges.

This is true for our friend, Rachael, who submitted today’s Q&A Thursday question as well. Rachael has a soft, feminine style she loves, but she finds it difficult to incorporate her beloved pastels and girly embellishments when the temperatures require bundling up and the stores start pushing dark, moody hues.

So in today’s episode, I’m going to offer up 3 simple tips to transition your style from an easy breezy summer vibe to the more practical needs that come with the fall and winter seasons. Whether you share Rachael’s love of all things light and frilly or you prefer a different aesthetic, I’m confident these tips will make shopping and styling in the next season and whole lot easier. Let’s dig in and get to work on building a fall and winter wardrobe you absolutely love!

As a busy, working woman – and maybe you’re a mom or a wife to boot! – you have a lot on your plate. You have relationships to juggle, a career to manage, causes to advocate for, and people to take care of. You probably hesitate to invest in yourself or to make time for your hobbies and interests. There are a lot of serious issues going on in your life. Your style isn’t really worthy of your worry or time, is it?

In today’s episode, we’re going to unpack whether it’s superficial to care about your style. I’ve spoken openly about my faith as a Christian in past episodes and so you may decide you want to skip this one if you’re not comfortable with that. No hard feelings at all! But I want to approach this from a Biblical view and I think, whether you’re a believer or not, what I discovered might surprise you. It certainly surprised me! And so if you’ve ever felt guilty for caring about your appearance, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

When it comes to our wardrobes, there’s almost nothing harder than getting rid of a perfectly good piece of clothing.

That’s the question, isn’t it?

No matter where you live and what your kids’ school calendar looks like, getting little ones dressed in the morning can be one of the biggest challenges (and battles) of your day.

I’ve been there myself and so this year, I’ve decided to put together a capsule closet for my kindergartener. I might be crazy. This is a total experiment! I’ve never done this before and I can’t speak to how it’s going to go. But in today’s episode, I’m sharing all the reasons why I think it’ll be helpful to streamline my son’s wardrobe and the step-by-step plan I’m using to do it!

As I approach my 40th birthday this fall, I’m noticing a shift in myself and other women my age. At some point in our 30s and 40s, we seem to start losing our love of chasing trends and develop a deep desire to have a quality wardrobe that lasts. We want to feel mature and look more polished. We want to look stylish in an effortless way without sacrificing our comfort. And as working women and moms, we want outfits that meet the demands of our lives — our real lives — not the Instagram highlight reel or the galavanting versions of ourselves we were a decade or so ago in college and early adulthood.

We’re growing up and we want our wardrobes to reflect who we are today. So, if you’re anything like me or our friend, Tomi, who sent in today’s Q&A Thursday topics, you want to know where you’re supposed to shop and when to invest in higher quality pieces. It can feel intimidating to start thinking about your wardrobe with purpose and intention. But in this episode, we’re going to make it easy to find what you want and to know exactly what you need to build a wardrobe you love, and that will last.

11 - My Not-So-Secret Strategies to Shop More Effectively Online

We need to talk about pre-assembled, done-for-you capsule wardrobes for a minute. I love the idea of keeping things simple and eliminating the guesswork as much as the next gal. Sure, you can follow one of these guides or checklists each season and wind up with a few great pieces you love. The colors might coordinate effortlessly. It might land perfectly within your budget. But can you ever truly feel like yourself when you’re trying to look like somebody else?

I ran a Google search on “2024 capsule wardrobe” and the results were astounding. 9 out of 10 images that came up were comprised of classic pieces. They all had: basic white tees, denim button down blouses, quintessential khaki trench coats, some kind of black cardigan or blazer, the same exact ivory, beige, medium wash denim, and black assortment of pants, and —if we’re getting wild— maybe a piece or two in olive green or pure red for a much needed splash of color. Friend, they’re all the same!

Now, I’m sure there are some outliers and you’re welcome to enlighten me with your favorite capsule finds. But why are we all curating our closets in the exact same cookie-cutter way? We’re all unique! Our tastes vary! Our bodies and coloring are one-of-a-kind! Our calendars consist of so many different activities! And I think this is why we’re feeling bored, frustrated, and confused when it comes to getting dressed.

So today, let’s stop defaulting to what everyone else is doing and take a personalized approach at creating our capsule wardrobes. I want you to have clothing and accessories that mix and match effortlessly AND that feel right for you. If that sounds good, then you’ve come to the right place. Let’s go, friend!

We’ve been talking a lot about colors recently, and I, for one, am pretty excited about that! It’s such an important component in your wardrobe, but it’s not the only factor to keep in mind when choosing your clothing and accessories. In fact, sometimes, your best colors can be a deterrent when it comes to building a wardrobe you love. Say what now?

Well, we know most color analysts only consider your personal coloring when putting together their recommendations for your best hues, so what do you do if your palette doesn’t align with your personal style or preferences? Should you throw your tastes out the window and prioritize your most flattering colors over the aesthetics that light you up?

Our friend, Lisa, submitted a question on this exact challenge recently. The short answer is: You do NOT need to compromise your personal taste for your personal colors. There is a way to have both. In today’s episode, I’m offering up a ton of advice to help you align the colors that look best on you with the styles you like to wear most. Stick around as I walk you through all the ways to make your personal colors and your personal preferences work perfectly together.

3 - Why Your Color Season Doesn’t Matter and What You Want to Know Instead

I don’t know how long you’ve been listening to HER Style Podcast, whether this is the first episode you’re exploring or if you’ve been following the show consistently for the past year and a half. But I don’t think it’ll take you long to pick up on the fact that I am pretty obsessed with color. I think it’s one of the most underrated aspects of our wardrobes and it’s what I’ve studied the most extensively in my last 17 years as an image consultant.

I’ve shared the statistic that between 62-90% of someone’s initial judgment about a person, a product, or an environment is based on color ALONE. So it’s not just my opinion that the colors you wear make a massive difference in your overall presentation and the impression that you leave behind you.

If you own a business and you need to show up on social media or on your website, if you are out on the dating scene, or if you’re a work from home mom trying to juggle all the things, what you wear communicates something about you and the colors you put on play, arguably, the biggest part in that.

So today, I want to talk about the power of color psychology — what it is, the difference between general and personal color psychology, what your favorite colors say about you, and how you can use colors to make the best impression. This is going to be a fun and eye-opening conversation and will help you recognize the importance of the colors you wear and surround yourself with. I can’t wait to share this one with you!

I LOVE traveling. There’s something wonderful about escaping from your routine and something just as lovely about returning to it at the end of a trip. I find being away from home, no matter how incredible, always makes me grateful to get back. I haven’t done too many excursions from my real life lately, with a young child and buying a new home this year. We're enjoying being in our happy place and getting settled in this particular season of life. But I have traveled a ton throughout my adult years and I’ve learned a lot about how to plan and pack a travel wardrobe — worry-free.

Because yes, I tend to worry. I think of all the worst case scenarios. I deal with anxiety and I hate to feel out of control when things don’t go according to plan. So I know, firsthand, how hard it can be to find the delicate balance between planning for a trip and obsessively stressing over a trip.

In today’s episode, I’m answering a whole series of questions from our friend, Eden, about how to get ready for a multi-purpose getaway with less stress and anxiety, so you can ensure you have what you need to enjoy yourself and leave your worries at home. If you have more travel plans coming up this summer or in the months ahead, you’re going to want to turn up the volume and get ready to take some notes! Let’s plan your perfect travel wardrobe, completely stress-free.

Let me tell you about the time I completely transformed my closet in ONE afternoon. What did I do, you ask? First, let me tell you what I didn’t do.

I didn’t go on a wild shopping spree. I didn’t pile everything I own onto my bed in an effort to eliminate the excess. And I didn’t spend a small fortune. (I actually didn’t spend a penny.)

Instead, I reorganized.

I implemented five items I already own ─and that you can pick up yourself for less than $15 each─ to change everything about the way I saw my wardrobe, both literally and figuratively. In today’s episode, I’m revealing 5 closet organization essentials that will help you keep your pieces neat, tidy, and pleasing to the eye. Let’s dive in and discuss!

It’s happened. I’m pretty sure I’ve received the juiciest Q&A Thursday question yet! Our friend, Lyndsay, emailed me and asked, “If you were to do a completely fresh start with your wardrobe. With let's say $500 or less, what would you choose?”

Well, Lyndsay, you’d better believe I used every penny of that $500 limit you gave me, but I did it! I sat down with the simple budget planning template I provide inside HER Style Collective and in less than an hour, I mapped out a strategic shopping list of what I would buy if I had $500 to rebuild my entire wardrobe from scratch.

These are actual, concrete numbers and I verified that I could find options I would be excited to purchase at each of these price points. In today’s episode, I’m breaking it all down for you about what I would buy, how I figured out what I would buy, and why I say —with confidence— that you can build a wardrobe you love no matter your budget.

Do your style preferences feel like a mismatch? I know mine certainly did after I became a mom. I went from having a bold and dramatic personal style to snuggling my sweet boy and wiping spit up off my shirt most days of the week. My taste preferences didn’t feel like they fit in with my new lifestyle. Maybe you’re in a similar season, wishing you could wear one thing but having very different demands that make it feel impossible for your day-to-day. Or maybe you took my free Personal Style Quiz and are confused about how to align your top 2-3 results. How do you blend Natural and Dramatic aesthetics? Aren’t Classic and Creative styles an oxymoron by definition?

Well, that’s what makes it fun, my friend! And in today’s episode, I’m going to support you with 5 tips to marry your style preferences so they feel cohesive, streamlined, and authentic to you.

Tell me if this sounds familiar. You want a versatile and cohesive wardrobe that feels like you. You’re intrigued by the idea of a streamlined capsule and having less, but better quality pieces in this phase of life. You’re ready to up-level and invest in items you can wear confidently season after season.

But, at the same time, you worry you’ll get bored. You don’t want your wardrobe to look dated. You see all the influencers wearing these cool trend pieces and wonder whether you could pull them off, too? You’ve been wanting to pick up a few new things for the season… Which trends should you try?

And you end up in a vicious cycle, desperate to find just the right blend of classic AND trendy pieces for your closet. I wish I could tell you there was a simple formula, like 80% of your wardrobe should be timeless and 20% should be trends, but it’s not quite that easy. If you’ve been hanging around HER Style Podcast for even a few episodes, you might know I’m all about personalizing my style advice.

So today, I’m going to offer up 4 different questions to help you determine what the perfect balance of basics vs. “it” pieces are best for you. If you want your closet to look stylish and feel streamlined, this episode is for you, my friend. Let’s go!

Happy Independence Day if you’re listening from the USA! I pre-recorded this episode so I could spend the day at a 4th of July parade with my family in the morning and then hopefully taking a dip in our pool, because we are finally in our new home after many long months of (sometimes not so patiently) waiting! Wherever you are joining me in the world today, I hope your summer is off to a fabulous start and you’re having fun getting dressed for all the BBQs, beach days, and activities keeping you busy.

That brings me to today’s Q&A Thursday topic, which is going to be a bite-sized conversation about an accessory we’ve never talked about on the show before: BELTS! I’m going to tackle the subject of when to wear one, how to choose the right fabric and width for you, and answer our friend Kelsy’s biggest question about what I would consider essential for your wardrobe. If you struggle with when and how to accessorize your outfits with belts, there are a few very clear and strategic pointers you will not want to miss in this episode!

One of my FAVORITE romantic comedies is Crazy, Stupid, Love. It’s brilliant. It’s funny. It’s full of unexpected surprises. I highly recommend it. And in that movie, Steve Carell, who plays the main character, describes his wife as the perfect combination of sexy and cute. It’s a superficial, but incredibly sweet compliment all at the same time. And I think it’s a compliment many of us would love to receive from our significant other.

But sometimes, we have body insecurities that make it really difficult to actually feel that way. I don’t know what area or areas you might be hung up on, hopefully none! But if you do have some physical features you’d rather not highlight when getting dressed, I have a hunch one of them might be your midsection. And if so, you’re not alone. Surveys have shown that 4 in 5 women worry about the appearance of their belly and their waist.

Now friend, if you’re struggling with negative self-talk or if this topic feels like it might be a trigger for you, I encourage you to pause right here and listen to HER Style Podcast episode 118 - Struggling with Negative Self-Talk? Make This One Simple Mindset Shift to Improve Your Body Image first. Please know that the last thing I would want is for you to feel any shame or judgment over your appearance. My goal, always, is to support you with being kinder to yourself and embracing your body where it is today, even if you have healthy and realistic goals you’re working towards. I want you to find gratitude for the body you have right now and get dressed in ways that make you feel good today.

If you’re in a healthy place with this conversation and you’re ready to talk about some tactical ways to divert attention away from your tummy, while treating yourself with a whole lot of gentleness and grace in the process, then join me for today’s episode where I’ll break down some very simple ways to hide your midsection while still looking sexy and cute.

Question for you… Are you struggling with your workwear? Dress codes have gotten more lax, athleisure is often allowed, and we have more options than ever before. Yet we often find ourselves defaulting to the same go-to outfit uniform or with the challenge of aligning our professional attire with our style preferences.

Our friend Narissa is dealing with this issue right now and she asked me to help her find feminine styles for her career as a physical therapist without sacrificing on comfort. So in today’s episode, I’m on a mission to help you get dressed for work in a way that feels like you. Let’s explore how you can be more authentic in your on-the-job appearance so it’s just as much fun to get dressed for work as it is for play!

Are you scratching your head right now? In the previous episode of HER Style Podcast, I challenged you to be bold and gave you 8 ways to make your outfits more creative, and now, I’m telling you to tone it down. So what gives, right?

Well, I’ve been hearing from a number of listeners lately, including our friend Rachel who submitted today’s Q&A Thursday question, that while they love elevated looks and they want to show up looking polished and put together, they have a big fear bubbling up under the surface. They’re afraid of being judged for flaunting their taste in fashion and/or making their friends feel less than.

We’ve entered a new era of casual basics, laid-back looks, and work-from-home wardrobes, and we don’t always have a need to dress up like we used to. In a world where so many are showing up with such little effort, do we need to consider whether our closets are legitimately too showy?

It’s time to address this elephant and talk about what to do when you’re the most style-conscious person in the room.

Whether you love having a small, minimalist wardrobe or your closet is bursting at the seams, I think something we all want is the ability to create lots of versatile looks with the pieces we already own.

Don’t worry, friend. Today, we’re going to talk through 8 ways to be more bold with your outfit styling! I want you to have fun getting dressed and to feel confident putting together interesting outfits that still feel right for you.

Let me start out by saying, I know my strengths and I know my weaknesses. Aside from a brief stint in personal shopping at J.Crew many years ago, where I helped style the occasional man who wandered in looking for assistance, menswear is not my area of expertise.

So when I received a question from our friend, Ann, recently about how to style her husband, I knew I needed to enlist some outside support. Enter: David Elliott, a content creator with a passion for helping men elevate their life through fashion, fitness, and lifestyle. Although he's a self-proclaimed “normal guy”, he’s built up a very impressive social media following in the last year and a half —if you check out his content, you’ll see why!— and I’m thrilled that he agreed to join me on HER Style Podcast to share all of his style expertise!

Whether you’re currently dating or happily married, you’re going to want to hear David’s advice around getting your partner to care more about his style, best tips to start leveling up his wardrobe, his helpful take on coordinating outfits as a couple, and enjoying your style journeys together. Grab your guy for this one and turn up the volume as we welcome David onto the show!

I put out a request to my VIP email community a couple of weeks ago for their help with some market research. I always want to know what you’re struggling with the most and how I can best support you on your style journey. And the results of that project were pretty eye-opening.

I heard complaint after complaint that they were wasting way too much time trying to get dressed in the morning and, more often than not, they just end up defaulting to their go-to-outfit uniform. Can you relate?

So what if I told you there is a very simple solution to both of these challenges and it would take you an hour (or less) to start implementing it?

Allow me to introduce the concept of preset outfits! No, I’m not talking about done-for-you, outfit of the day guides you can buy from other stylists. And I’m not talking about the productivity hack of picking out your clothes the night before. I’m talking about building your own custom outfit library of looks that will make it easy and exciting to get dressed for every occasion on your calendar!

I’ve mentioned this concept on the podcast before, but today, we’re taking a deep-dive into why preset outfits are the BEST way to ensure you can get ready efficiently and feel good as you go about your day! Let’s make your life a whole lot easier, shall we?

Whether you’re contemplating going blonde, brunette, or red, letting your natural color or grays grow out, or even experimenting with playful pops of pink, purple, or other rainbow-inspired hair color hues, you’re going to want to listen to this episode. Because significant changes to your hair color will most likely impact your best colors!

Are you feeling confused by your personal color palette? This is a problem I hear about far too often. There are quite a few reasons this can happen, which I’ve already spoken about at length in episode #3 of HER Style Podcast, Why Your Color Season Doesn’t Matter and What You Want To Know Instead. But it’s not an issue I see going away anytime soon.

Personal color palettes are trending big time and franchises like House of Colour are dominating the industry. I love that women are wanting to learn about their best colors, but what do we do when the services meant to empower us end up leaving us more confused than we were before? I hear from women all the time who have had 2 and 3 color analyses done and been assigned a different seasonal type each time. Others feel pushed into wearing bold colors that don’t resonate with their neutral preferences.

So what should you do? In today’s episode, I’m sharing exactly how to navigate your personal color palette, or more specifically, differences between your color palettes, so you can wear your best colors with clarity and confidence. If you’ve invested in a seasonal color analysis and ended up more confused than before, this episode is for you, my friend. Let’s do this!

Big news! HER Style Podcast has officially crossed 100,000 downloads! It kind of snuck up on me. But I wanted to take a minute to thank you for listening to the show, sharing it with your friends, and leaving a written review if it’s impacted you in some way. YOU are the reason that I continue to show up every Monday and Thursday with new episodes and the hope that they will support and empower you on your style journey.

To celebrate today, we have a very special Q&A Thursday episode all about —wait for it— dry cleaning! I know, I know. It may not be the sexiest or most exciting topic for this milestone week. But this is real life. And the fact is, like our friend Cynthia who submitted today’s question, you might also be facing the tough choice of whether you can wear classic, tailored styles and maintain an elegant aesthetic without a local dry cleaner. And even if you do have a dry cleaner on every corner in your neighborhood, you might be worried about additional laundering costs, not to mention chemical exposures and environmental factors.

So what should you do? Is there a way to wear dry clean only styles WITHOUT dry cleaning them? I had to do some research on this one, but I came up with a handful of reasons to confidently say YES! Stick around for today’s episode and I’ll share all the tricks to stock up on delicate fabrics without having to pay a hefty dry cleaning bill.

I realized this past week that I’ve been putting some unrealistic expectations on myself — in all areas of my life (wardrobe included). In case you’re doing the same thing, I thought I should pull back the curtain and open up about what I'm doing to better manage the expectations I have for my wardrobe and myself. This one is going to be raw, vulnerable, and, hopefully, empowering as always. Let’s grab our tissues and dive in!

Hey friend! We’ve got a good one for Q&A Thursday today. Our friend, Alyson, sent in a voice memo recently asking me to walk her through choosing the most flattering necklines. And, as always, I’m going to personalize my answer to the best of my ability so you can confidently pick your perfect tops, too!

There are at least 25 different neckline styles to choose from! So I rounded up 4 rules or guidelines to support you with finding your best styles, shapes, and lengths and I think at least one of these suggestions might conflict with everything you’ve been told before.

As an image consultant, I’m always watching out for trends. Color and style trends, yes. But even more importantly, I’m looking out for common themes, frustrations, and pain points among my clients, podcast listeners, and email community. There’s been a trend happening over the past month or so that I can’t brush under the rug. I’ve had multiple women complain to me recently that they‘ve been struggling with impulse shopping from the Instagram swipe up feature.

And friend, I get it! As a former shopaholic, I know the instant gratification that comes with buying that cute thing you saw on your favorite influencer, in a targeted ad, or offered up in your inbox along with an unexpected flash sale.

It’s hard to say “no”. But if you want to build a wardrobe you love, then it’s time to start shopping with intention. You know I’m all about buying less and shopping smarter. So today, I’m going to share 5 different strategies you can implement right now to curb your social media-induced shopping splurges and start streamlining what’s in your closet.

Today’s Q&A Thursday episode feels very special, not only because we’re talking about maternity wear just days before Mother’s Day, but because I received two nearly identical questions from two different podcast listeners on this topic! Our friends, Amber and Molly, both reached out to me recently to say they’re both starting to try for baby #1 and wondering how to revamp their wardrobes strategically for pregnancy and postpartum. How amazing is that?

First, I want to say how excited I am for you both! This is such a special time in your lives and I’m going to be praying for each of you that it happens simply and joyfully! And I also want to empathize with anyone who has been struggling to conceive. My husband and I faced a lot of ups and downs on our journey to become parents. It took us 10 years to have our son, Grey, although it did happen naturally… just much later than we had originally planned. You can hear all about that story in episode 33: How Infertility and Motherhood Rocked My World and Reshaped My Wardrobe. I think it’s a very encouraging one that will bring you hope and comfort, especially if your road to parenthood has been rocky like ours was. 

But today, I’m going to solve Amber, Molly, and maybe YOUR challenge, of how to revamp your wardrobe during major life and body changes, like pregnancy. I know you want to look stylish and you’re feeling inspired to tackle your closet, but you know you’re going to be growing and shrinking, and shifting, and your whole life is about to change. So how do you plan accordingly? Stick around and I’ll walk you through what to wear when you’re expecting and beyond!

Oh friend, I have a treat for you today. My client, Michelle Hadley, is an incredible single mama and social media influencer who went through a season of feeling like she lost a piece of herself. Earlier this year, she reached out to me for help and it was a JOY to not only create a custom Personal Color Palette for her, but for her daughter, Evy, as well.

Michelle sent me the kindest audio testimonial several weeks ago and made a comment in her email that there was so much more she would’ve loved to say. So I decided to invite Michelle onto the show to share all about her experience!

This is a first. I’ve had personal styling clients and members of HER Style Collective on before, but I’ve never interviewed a Personal Color Palette client on HER Style Podcast. So this is long overdue. And it comes at the perfect time, because for the next week, I’m running a Spring Special where when you invest in one Personal Color Palette, you can gift another one to a family member or friend for 50% OFF! Yep! It’s buy 1, get 1 half off for a very limited-time until this Sunday, May 12, 2024 at midnight EST.

My Personal Color Palette service is an amazing experience to share with your mom, your daughter, your best friend, your sister, whoever you want to celebrate your beauty and colors with this spring! It’s a fabulous gift to give or to ask for this Mother’s Day season, regardless of whether you’re a mom with young kids, adult kids, if you’re a mom in waiting or a mom who has suffered a loss. I know this can be a really bittersweet season for so many and I also know that surrounding yourself with your best colors can bring an unexpected amount of joy and confidence into your life.

I also want you to understand exactly what’s possible from making this investment in yourself. So no matter where you are on your style journey or this season of life, I know you are going to resonate with at least one aspect of Michelle’s powerful story and be inspired by what she’s overcome and the steps she’s taken to reclaim who she is.

Without further ado, let’s listen in on this deeply meaningful conversation with Michelle, and hear everything you need to know about discovering your best colors…

It’s Earth Day, friend! As someone who’s all about buying less, but better, I’m an advocate for ethical fashion and sustainable shopping. But I definitely don’t consider myself to be an expert. And I’ll be honest, sometimes the thought of searching for more sustainable clothing and accessories feels like more trouble than it’s worth. As women, we face so many pressures already. Do we really need to add eco-conscious shopping to the list?

Well, my incredible guest, Anita Thomas, says yes and no. I’m so excited to introduce you to Anita because she is all about making sustainable shopping more DOABLE. But first, let me tell you a little bit about her background and how I knew she was the perfect guest to bring in for this topic. Anita is an inventor, sustainability advocate, and founder of the luxury fashion brand Lavāda. During the pandemic, she invented a 4-in-1, interchangeable vegan leather handbag that’s changing the way we think about handbags—and giving conscious shoppers who don’t want to compromise on sustainability for luxury—an elegant, yet eco-friendly option.

She’s been using her background as a C-suite executive who drove multi-billion dollar portfolios to build a purpose-driven brand that’s helping to improve sustainability practices in fashion. Because as someone who comes from a long line of stewards of the land, she believes good stewardship is something everyone aspires to achieve. So through Lavāda she’s partnering with others to responsibly increase our impact with the resources we’ve been given.

Today, Anita is going to share 5 super simple tips to ease your way into sustainable shopping. I know you’re going to love her down-to-earth demeanor and approachable ideas. And if you want to start shopping more responsibly without feeling burdened or breaking the bank, I know you’re going to love today’s conversation! Let’s dive in!

But I had a plan to share what’s on my spring shopping list on Monday’s episode. Well, don’t you know, I received a question from our friend, Heather, asking how to choose which wardrobe items to focus on first when you’re ready to revamp your wardrobe. I mean… How perfect is that?

Things are about to get crazy, friend. In just 2 weeks, we’re moving out of what’s been our home for the past 15 years. It’s bittersweet and —if you’ve ever moved, then you know— it’s also a little stressful. But we also just kicked off the latest round of my group coaching program, HER Style Collective, last week! And as I was welcoming the members into the program on our kick-off call, I realized something…. I want to refresh my own spring/summer wardrobe, too!

So I’ve decided to complete the process right alongside them. I mean, why not add one more project onto my plate? Truth be told, this is one I’m really going to enjoy and I think it will give me a welcome reprieve from all the packing and unpacking that’s going to be going down over the next couple of months.

I’m already dreaming about what I want to bring into my closet (after we’re settled in, of course). And in today’s episode, I’ll be breaking down exactly what’s on my spring shopping list — and why! I’ll also share how I came up with my list and give you a few pointers to do the same. If you know you want to pick up some new pieces for the season and you want to do it in a more intentional and strategic way, then I know you’re going to love this episode!

Breaking news… I’ve been wearing short sleeves this week!!! Okay, I probably shouldn’t have led with “breaking news”, but I am very excited that the weather’s been warming up, we’ve had a couple of sunny days, my son’s baseball season is officially underway, and the transition into warmer weather is in full swing! I think it’s time to pack up my winter sweaters and boots and officially step into spring.

Now, I don’t wear a lot of black, not because I don’t love it, but because it doesn’t really do anything for me. But if you’re anything like our friend, Deena, who submitted today’s Q&A Thursday question… It might be one of your go-to hues. And, just like her, you might be wondering how you can keep wearing this notoriously dark and edgy color into the lighter and brighter days of spring and summer.

In today’s episode, I’m going to share my thoughts on wearing black in warm weather seasons along with 6 ways you can lighten it up. Whether you want to feel softer or more feminine or you worry about dressing appropriately for the season, I’ve got you covered, friend. There are ways to wear your favorite hue throughout the year and in ways that work for any style type. Let’s dive in and cover them all!

3 - Why Your Color Season Doesn’t Matter and What You Want to Know Instead

Hey friend! I told you I had a big announcement today and I’m not going to make you wait one more second to hear it… Doors are OPEN to the Spring 2024 round of HER Style Collective! That’s right! The next round of my group coaching program is officially enrolling and will be kicking-off on Thursday, April 11th.

During this 90-day program, I will walk you through my step-by-step system to buy less, shop smarter, and build a wardrobe you LOVE. You’ll uncover all of your Style Foundations — including dialing-in your signature look, learning how to dress in ways that flatter your figure, and discovering your best colors. We’ll do a full closet audit to evaluate your existing pieces and decide what to keep, donate, toss, and replace. I’ll support you in designing your dream capsule wardrobe AND, together, we’ll do a combination of strategic shopping to fill in the gaps and styling your clothing and accessories in better ways to maximize what you already own. This program is fully customized to your tastes, budget, lifestyle, body, and preferences.

Now, you know I love fashion and empowering you to build a wardrobe you love, but one of my favorite things about this process is seeing the transformation in my clients. And I’m not just talking about them stepping out in more stylish outfits or feeling excited to get dressed again. Although that is a joy, I’ve also seen them have major breakthroughs around deeper topics like body image, confidence, relationships, business opportunities, self-worth, reconnecting with who they are. The impact of working on your style and your image ripple out into every aspect of your life and it’s such an honor for me to witness.

One of those clients has agreed to join me on the show today. Angela has been a member of the Winter Collective this season so I’ve had the pleasure of working with her since January and WOW — her results have blown even me away! Angie has followed every step of the program, reached out when she’s needed some extra hand-holding and encouragement, and the effort she’s put in is evident in her success. I cannot wait for you to hear her share candidly about her experience inside HER Style Collective.

So if this is a step you’ve been considering or if you just love hearing empowering stories of women like you who are rewriting their next chapter by pouring into themselves and up-leveling their self-image and style, then please join me in welcoming Angie to HER Style Podcast. You are in for such a treat today!

There’s been a running theme inside the winter round of HER Style Collective. Quite a few of the women I’ve had the pleasure of coaching inside this 90-day group program came in feeling extremely dissatisfied with what’s in their closets. One of them made a remark that “It would be easier to burn it all down at this point”. I wonder if you’re feeling the same way?

Friend, believe me. I know that pain. I think this can be especially difficult once you start doing the work to dial-in your signature style, learn what flatters your figure, and discover your best colors. There can end up being a pretty big divide between the beautiful vision you have for what you want your wardrobe to be and the, oftentimes, disappointing reality of where it is right now.

I often end up being the dressiest person in the room. It’s not because I’m so fancy…Okay, it might be that a little bit. But it’s really because I LOVE wearing dresses and skirts. I’m much more comfortable in a dress, especially in the spring and summer when I don’t want to put on shorts. I think there’s almost nothing worse than your legs melting into a hot metal chair and getting stuck. No, thank you. I’ll take a light, airy skirt any day of the week, especially in summer.

It also suits my feminine style. But even if your tastes differ from mine, there are ways to make dresses and skirts work for your personal style and your body type. So today, we’re addressing a question that came in from our friend, Leah. She wants to know more about styling dresses and skirts and you know I’m always happy to oblige.

So grab a paper and pen, because we’re diving deep today into fits, cuts, fabrics, and taking your dresses and skirts from day to night. I want to help you wear them with total confidence. So pull up a seat and let’s talk about dresses and skirts!

Hey there! We are going back to the basics today, my friend! I want to revisit the topic of defining your signature style. This is the most critical first step in building a wardrobe you love. It’s also an aspect of getting dressed that I see a lot of women struggling with.

Rather than taking the time to self-reflect and figure out how we want our wardrobes to look and feel, it seems easier to copy everyone else’s style. Or you might love so many different types of outfits and brands that you can’t imagine narrowing your look down to one signature style. You don’t want to feel limited, but right now your look is a little all over the place, you’re chasing trends, and trying to keep up with what you’re seeing on social media, and the whole thing feels super overwhelming!

But guess what? It doesn’t have to be.

I have a simple, 4-Part Signature Style Framework that you can walk through when you take my FREE 5-Minute Personal Style Quiz. In today’s episode, I’m going to help you see why your style is so important, review a couple of caveats you need to know before you take my quiz, and exactly how to combine your top 3 style type results to create a signature blend that captures you, your personality, and your preferences so completely it makes shopping and getting dressed easier than ever.

If that sounds good to you, then stick around and let’s dive in!

I’ve been chomping at the bit to answer today’s Q&A Thursday question since it came in. It is SO, so good! Our friend, Therese, reached out to ask about the difference between having a signature silhouette (or style) and simply dressing the same all the time. And I think this is the most brilliant question.

What IS the difference? How can you strike that delicate balance between having a dialed-in look and letting your look become played out? How do you stick to your style but still keep your wardrobe feeling fresh season after season?

See? I told you! It’s so good! And in today’s episode, we’re going to sort it all out. So let’s jump right in and explore the difference so we can make sure your signature style feels more right than rut.

Alright, are you ready for this? Today’s episode is going to be one of those rare gems where I don’t discuss trends or give you any tactical style tips. I’m not sharing my color expertise or helping you build a better wardrobe today. The conversation we’re about to have digs a bit deeper and feels necessary to make space for on HER Style Podcast from time to time.

You might know that I’m on a mission to help you feel more confident in your clothes. My goal is to empower you with all the style advice I have to share so you can show up in every area of your life with more fullness, ease, and joy! I love supporting you with that on the outside. When you’re wearing your best colors and most flattering silhouettes, when you’re crystal clear on your signature style, and you have the perfect outfit for every occasion, it feels SO good.

But even after we do all the work to boost our confidence on the outside, there can still be a whole lot of mean girl mind drama still happening on the inside. If you struggle with negative self-talk, body image issues, and being your own worst critic, then we have some more work to do, my friend. I want you to look your best on the outside and feel your best on the inside. So today, we’re diving deeper and I’m sharing one simple mindset shift that could change everything about how you see and talk to yourself. Let’s dive in!

Hey friend! I’m back with another Q&A Thursday episode… and it’s funny. When I first came up with the idea for these bonus episodes each week, where I answer your questions, I thought they’d be shorter, 10-minute and under episodes. But they’ve actually been some of the longest! Today might be different.

I received a quick question from our girl, Kara, over on Instagram. She has a common problem with several pieces in her closet — they generate a whole lot of static! I know nobody wants to wear a top, skirt, or dress that’s stuck to their skin all day long.

So in this (potentially brief) Q&A Thursday episode, I’m sharing my best tips to eliminate the dreaded static cling, solving a couple of other common fashion emergencies you might be facing, and maybe giving you an unpopular opinion on several solutions you might have bought into over the years.

Refill your mug and sit back as we ensure your wardrobe runs a whole lot smoother!

When it comes to styling outfits, one of the MOST IMPORTANT things is to make sure your undergarments are working to flatter your figure, optimize your silhouette, and give you the smoothest line possible.

I know lingerie is often an afterthought. It has been for me, too. Nearly a decade ago, I counted more than 30 cocktail dresses in my closet… and at the same time, I didn't have a properly fitting bra! I know! I’ve learned better as a reformed impulse shopper and recovering shopaholic.

And while lingerie shopping can definitely be fun, a lot of times I think we brush it aside because we want to invest in pieces everyone's going to see instead. But I promise you, having a well-fitted look starts at the foundation. So I rounded up three simple steps I highly encourage you to take and we’re also going to troubleshoot a number of common lingerie challenges and questions today.

You with me, friend? Let’s get ready to dive into this delicate topic… See what I did there? All jokes aside, this is one essential wardrobe conversation you do not want to miss!

Happy Thursday, my dear! Welcome back to another episode of HER Style Podcast. I love having you here with me! Today, we’re tackling another listener question –actually TWO listener questions!

Our friend, Maddy, reached out to me recently on Instagram and asked me to address a couple of challenges she’s having. First, she wants to build a collection of loungewear that feels comfortable and looks stylish at the same time. So I’m going to help you do exactly that with a simple framework you can follow to curate ANY category of clothing in your closet or specific area of your wardrobe. And we’re going to highlight some ways to ensure your pieces not only look amazing on you but feel comfy cozy to wear at the same time. Yes, it’s possible to be comfortable AND stylish and in this episode, I’m sharing the key to doing that easily and effectively.

But that’s not all! Maddy also asked for pointers to flatter her big boobs — I’m sorry, is it nicer to say ample bosom? – because she also has a small body. So if you are in the same boat and you feel like everything you wear calls attention to the girls up top and you want to draw the attention elsewhere and create better balance in your outfits, then we’re taking that on today, too.

This episode is going to be packed with tips and tricks to up your comfort and style and to support you with dressing to flatter your flawless figure. Let’s dive right in!

Alright, we are picking back up with our Q&A Thursday “Suzanne series”… That’s right, several weeks ago, my dear friend, Suzanne, rapid-fired a whole handful of style questions to fill the post-holiday Q&A void around here. And today, I’m addressing the last of her questions.

You’ve also stepped up big time since then and I have questions and topics plugged into the calendar all the way through February. So thank you if you’ve sent in a question this month!!

I’ll often send a quick tip or reply to support you in the meantime as well.

Anyway, back to today’s topic, which is all about one of the MOST challenging articles of clothing to style: pants. And more specifically: wide leg pants. Are they only flattering to certain body types? How do you know which shoes work best with which pant lengths? Why are there so many complicated layers to choosing and styling your pants?

Don’t worry, friend. I’m not only answering all of those questions in this episode, I’m handing over a simple framework for styling various pant lengths and styles with confidence and ease. Go ahead and let out a deep sigh of relief as we dive in.

22 - How To Love, Celebrate, and Dress the Body You’re In

Let’s play a quick round of true or false with the following statement: Every woman should own a Little Black Dress…?

I guess the answer depends on who you’re asking. But if you’ve been in my little corner of the fashion world for more than a few HER Style Podcast episodes, you know I believe the #1 key to building a wardrobe you LOVE is personalization. (And intentionality... Okay, maybe they’re tied for the #1 spot. 😉)

Either way, the only articles of clothing I think every woman should own are a great set of bras and underwear. More on that later. Because the topic of today’s Q&A Thursday episode comes from our friend, Alyssa, and she wants to know what else is a classic she should add to her closet besides a little black dress.

So get ready to explore “The Classic Ten”, how to know which of these timeless pieces you should add to your closet, and which of these wardrobe must-haves you can kick to the curb (and why!). This is gonna be a fun one, friend! Stick around.

Let me guess… You want to build a capsule wardrobe, but you have no idea where to start. How many and which pieces should you include? Which colors should you incorporate? Is it better to plan for one season at a time or to build a year-round base capsule? Is it possible to have a capsule wardrobe without going minimalist or sticking to classic, neutral styles?

Friend, I think it’s about time we take an even bigger deep dive into the capsule wardrobe concept. So today, I’m going to point you to a few free resources to help you get started. AND we’re going to figure out whether a seasonal or year-round approach is right for you!

If you’re intrigued, yet intimidated by the thought of taking your cluttered closet and transforming it into a well-curated capsule, then this episode has your name written all over it.

Decisions, decisions… We’re faced with a LOT of them in a day, aren’t we? If you’re working to build a better quality wardrobe you love, you might be feeling pressured with all the decisions you need to make when it comes to shopping and getting dressed.

That’s the boat our friend, Alena, is in right now, too. She reached out to me recently, because she wants to focus on bringing in better quality pieces for her wardrobe. And that means being more selective about the best fabrics for her staple items. But how do you know what to look for when it comes to quality? Which fabrics last longer and hold up the best?

Alena also asked me to address a choice that every single one of us faces every single day: What should I wear? If you find yourself wasting too much time trying to figure this out every day or wandering aimlessly in front of your closet in the morning, let’s strategize!

In today’s Q&A Thursday episode, we’re getting practical about our decision making when it comes to choosing quality fabrics and picking outfits faster in the morning. Yep, this is a two-for-one episode today! Since I love helping you buy less and get dressed with confidence, I’m really excited to help you tackle these everyday decisions with clarity and ease.

Let’s dive in! We have a lot to cover!

Struggling to find dress pants that fit you perfectly? Are your jeans just a little too long? Do all of your dress shirts have a boxy feel when you prefer a fitted silhouette? Maybe you never know what to wear underneath sheer tops and skirts? Do you wish you could have your pieces taken in, let out, shortened, lengthened, or even custom-made to your exact measurements?

From basic hemming to repairs and redesign, there’s so much a good tailor can do to transform your clothing.

So in today’s episode, I’m giving you an overview of alterations. We’ll get into the nitty-gritty about what’s possible and what’s not... because while tailors are miracle workers sometimes, they’re not magicians! We’ll also talk about how much it costs and how to know if it’s a worthwhile investment, plus where to find a good tailor in your area.

Hey friend! Are you ready for another Q&A Thursday episode? We’re going to call this part II of the Suzanne series. Because you might remember that last week, I didn’t have any questions in the queue and my sweet friend, Suzanne, came to the rescue and sent in a handful of style questions to keep us going for a few more weeks.

Even though the other ladies in our group text were very eager for me to answer the question I addressed in last week’s episode of how to wear white in the wintertime, today’s topic might be my personal favorite. It’s a wardrobe struggle that I hear from women all the time and I have a feeling you might be able to relate.

We’re talking about how to break the cycle of wearing the same thing over and over. If you’re stuck in a rut, wearing the same outfits on repeat, then this episode is for you. I’m going to support you with stepping out of the box you’ve found yourself in by exploring different ways to mix and match your pieces, build new outfit formulas, and feel reinspired when you look inside your closet this season!

Now, let’s get to work, my love…

Whew! This was a close one, friend! I wasn’t sure if I was going to get a Q&A Thursday episode out to you today. I normally like to record my podcast episodes in advance, but I didn’t have any questions in the queue. Something almost always comes in, but not this week. So I sent out an S.O.S. to a couple of friends. Stepping up to the plate, my sweet friend, Suzanne, rapid-fired a handful of really incredible style questions and gave me enough topics to cover for an entire month, should I need them.

Today, I’m addressing just one… wearing white in the winter. I mentioned in episode #96: Breaking Down the Hottest Winter Fashion Trends that all-white outfits are all the rage this season. But what about the old adage that says, “No white after Labor Day”? Where did that rule come from? And even if you don’t subscribe to it, how much white is too much? What’s the best way to pull off white in the winter?

In this episode, I’m answering all of those questions. And I’m not only going to empower you to break the rules, I’m handing over a foolproof guide to help you put together the perfect winter white outfits in a personalized way, just for you.

Merry Christmas, sweet friend! What a special day to be celebrating HER Style Podcast’s 100th episode! I can’t believe the timing. You might remember, I did a little giveaway for our 50th episode and while I’m not planning to keep these going every 50 episodes, it does feel like the perfect timing to spread an extra dose of holiday cheer and offer an INCREDIBLE giveaway for this milestone of 100 episodes!

We’re going bigger and better this time around. I’m giving away more than $1,300 worth of prizes!! I’ll be sharing all the details about what you can win and how to enter at the top of the episode. So stay tuned for that!

And because this is such a special episode, I want to do something different today and share about a personal experience that has been coming up over and over throughout my adult life, and that I was powerfully reminded of earlier this month. I’m talking about finding joy in the journey. I’ve spoken a few times in past episodes about how we’re in an instant gratification era. I feel like many of the goals I’ve had have not only felt like an uphill battle to achieve but have taken years to come together, much longer than I would’ve liked at least. As frustrating as that can be, it has ALWAYS worked out for the best.

So in today’s episode, I’m opening up about some things I’ve had to wait a long time for, how I’ve learned to surrender and even find joy in the wait, and what I hope you’ll take away from this conversation and carry forward in your own style journey and life. This is unlike any episode I’ve done before and I hope it blesses you during this holiday season!

We’re doing the thing today, friend! If you are a mom and you feel like you’ve lost touch with your style and you don’t know how to get dressed in a way that flatters your transformed figure, then turn up the volume! Because we are talking about navigating postpartum body changes and redefining what “mom style” actually looks like.

Even if you’re not a mom, I think you will be so empowered by this episode! It’s easy for us to fall into traps of dressing the way we think we’re supposed to or putting limitations on what we can wear in different seasons of our lives. But THAT is how you end up with a wardrobe of “good enough” pieces rather than a collection of clothing that lights you up and makes you feel excited to get dressed every day!

So whether you’re a mom, a mom in waiting, a mom with grown kids, a dog mom, or friends with a mom, I don’t care. This episode will make you stop and think about how you’re aligning your style goals with the demands of your real life and maybe expand what you see possible for your wardrobe right now. I can’t wait to have this conversation with you! Let’s dive right in.

Well, we did it! Last week, we wrapped up the very first round of HER Style Collective! Over the course of 90 days, I walked an incredible group of women through my proven process to buying less, shopping smarter, and building wardrobes they love. It was such a success, a majority of them are continuing into the next round, starting on January 4th, so they can do it all again for their spring wardrobes.

On Thursday, we had our celebration call to share our wins, set our next wardrobe goals, and talk about some ideas to make the next round of the Collective even better. I have to say, I learned a lot through this process and working on my own wardrobe right alongside them.

So I decided to sit down, put pen to paper, and journal out the 7 key lessons I’m walking away with so YOU can benefit from this experience — even if you decide not to step inside yourself. Although, I highly recommend that you do! 😉 Either way, this episode will reveal some of the top takeaways I had personally and witnessed among the women in this group and I know they’ll make a massive difference for you if you apply them, too.

Happy Thursday, friend! You know this is my favorite day of the week, because I get to answer questions from YOU! That’s right. If you’re new around here, every single week, we put out a special Q&A Thursday episode where I address a challenge or topic that was sent in either by email or voice memo. It’s so fun to make this more of a two-way conversation and it’s interesting to see that we all share so many of the same struggles when it comes to shopping and getting dressed. So no matter what’s coming up for you, I’m confident in saying you’re not alone and we can solve it right here, together, for FREE on the podcast!

Today’s question came in from our friend, Brooke, and she’s struggling right now because she has to wear blazers for work, but there are two problems. First, she doesn’t know which blazer styles are best for her body shape. So we’re going to figure that out together and I’ll offer a few tips to help you do the same. And secondly, she doesn’t like wearing blazers! They don’t make her feel like herself. So I’m also going to offer some support around what to do when you have to wear something you don’t really love, especially for your career. Because we want to infuse your style into every aspect of your wardrobe so you always feel comfortable and at your best.

If you struggle with workwear or with finding styles you love and that feel appropriate for all areas of your life, this episode is for you!

Hey friend. You might be in one of two camps: either you’re struggling to put together outfits you love or you have a closet overflowing with options. You might also be somewhere in between. Regardless of which scenario feels true for you, let’s multiply that decision making process by 2 or 3 times. Because odds are, you’re bouncing from one activity to another throughout your day. And likely, you have to change your outfit for one or two of them.

You might need workout clothes ready when you wake up, a professional ensemble for the day, something more fun for dinner or drinks with your gal pals, and a comfy outfit to settle into at the end of the evening. This might not be your typical day, but I’d venture to guess that you have a multitude of activities packed into your schedule from time to time.

So if you’ve ever felt the stress, inconvenience, or chore of having to change your outfit multiple times per day, this Q&A Thursday episode is for you. Our friend Chris is in the same boat and she sent in a question about how to simplify the process of getting dressed when she has to revamp her look throughout the day. Stick around as I give you a few easy tips to make these daily decisions easier, faster, and a whole lot more fun!

Alright, I need to know… Is your calendar overflowing right now or is it just mine? Our family has an activity every single night this week alone. And while I don’t pride myself on being busy, the month of December is generally more full than all the others with holiday traditions, Christmas concerts, winter festivals, and all the hustle and bustle that keeps me merry — and probably a little bit mad — during this magical season! Of course, I mean in the crazy sense, not the angry one. 🤪

But aside from managing the day to day, one of the more practical challenges we also face this month is what to wear to every holiday event on our calendars. I know you want to look cute, but still be comfortable, and be stylish but also look age and occasion-appropriate. So should you pile on the trends and the sparkle? Or do you keep things simple and classic? Should you buy something new? Or risk wearing something old that people might remember from holidays past?

Don’t panic, my friend. In today’s episode, we’re going to sort through all of these questions and come up with a solid game plan so you can feel your most confident at every occasion on your calendar this month! Of course, you can use this to plan your outfits at the start of each season, so get ready to take notes or download this episode so you can come back to it any time you have an abundance of activity and need to find the perfect outfit for every occasion on your calendar!

There’s a big problem with going on the hunt for styling advice on the Internet: 99% of the time, it’s not personalized for you. Even worse, it often conflicts with other advice you’ll come across from one site to the next or it might go against your own style intuition and leave you feeling even more frustrated and confused than when you started your search.

As our friend Kelsey discovered recently, the advice she found for balancing her short torso didn’t resonate with her desire to maintain a modest style AT ALL. It also didn’t take into account her height or any other factors unique to her physical features or personal preferences.

I have a feeling you’ve struggled with this, too. And that’s why I love giving you this forum to ask your questions and get my personalized advice – FOR FREE! – right here on HER Style Podcast’s Q&A Thursday episodes.

Today, I’m giving Kelsey the customized fashion advice she needs to balance her proportions and work with her body’s curves all while maintaining the modest style she wants to keep. This might seem oddly specific or unrelatable to you, but please stick around, because I promise there’s something inside this episode that you’ll be able to apply to your wardrobe, too. As the members inside HER Style Collective have testified, sometimes the best way to learn is by hearing other people get coached. So listen in on my advice to Kelsey and see what pearls of wisdom you might be able to apply the next time you get dressed!!

I launched my 90-day group coaching program, HER Style Collective, for the very first time this fall. I had implemented the same 6-step framework to building a wardrobe with private clients in the past. And I taught the concepts inside a self-study course. I knew it was effective, but I had NO IDEA what was going to happen running this process with a live group of women from multiple countries and with various budgets and backgrounds. I didn’t know if the ladies would show up to the live coaching calls each week or participate inside the Private Membership Community. I didn’t know how long it would take them to reach the results they wanted. But I knew I was committed to each of their success, no matter what it took.

These women put their trust in me to guide them through understanding their style foundations, auditing their wardrobes, dreaming up a vision for their capsules, and shopping and styling in a way that was intentional and effective. And I have to say, I could NOT have asked for a better group of humans for this first round. They have shown up! They have done the work! They’ve asked the questions! And they’ve had success faster and more profoundly than I ever could have imagined. But I don’t want you to take my word for it.

I invited 3 of the current members onto HER Style Podcast so you could hear about their experiences firsthand. In this interview, they’ll open up about the challenges they had coming into HER Style Collective, what’s surprised them so far on their journeys, the wins they’ve had – at just ⅔ of the way in!, and their HONEST thoughts about the investment and whether they have any regrets.

I cannot wait for you to come behind-the-scenes with us and hear what they have to say! Turn up your earbuds and settle in for this very special episode with HER Style Collective members Crystal, Jennifer, and Megha.

Because I know you have tried and failed time and again trying to recreate outfits you saw and loved on other people online. The struggle is real! We’ve all been there. So there’s no shade or shame. But we get to solve this common dilemma together.

Our friend, Lindsey, reached out and asked me to talk about how to recreate the cute outfits you see online in a way that feels easy, affordable, and way less overwhelming. So in today’s Q&A Thursday episode, I’m going to walk you, step by step, through making sure those outfits are going to work for you, shopping for pieces that fit within your budget, and styling what you purchase with what you already own.

This episode is going to be actionable and jam-packed with practical tips! Go grab a notebook and a pen, take a few more sips of that coffee or cabernet, and get ready to become your own best stylist!

It’s happening! Black Friday deals are ON and in full force. And I know there’s a lot of temptation to shop right now, for yourselves or your loved ones as the holiday season is coming in hot!

But I think a big part of you is here because you not only love fashion, you want to be a more conscious and intentional shopper. You like the idea of buying less and shopping smarter. You want to streamline your wardrobe and have fewer but better options. The key to doing that is in the planning, honestly. You can’t walk into the mall or click on that sale email from your favorite store and expect to magically find exactly what you need in a way that perfectly aligns with your budget.

Of course, you might get lucky! You could find some beautiful pieces. You might be great at picking things out for yourself. But without a clear strategy or a game plan, it’s going to be very difficult to bring your wardrobe together in a cohesive and effective way.

So today, I want to walk you through 4 very simple steps to follow to shop with greater intention and fill in the gaps of your wardrobe strategically. Don’t worry! We’re still going to have fun and hold space for the pieces that excite you! This isn’t a rigid set of rules. But if you follow these steps, you’re going to spend a lot less money and be more satisfied with your purchases. If that sounds good to you, then you’ve come to the right place. Let’s dive in!

Our friend, Noelia, sent me a question all about beauty products with the specific goal of creating a minimal, yet polished look. And who doesn’t love a light, fresh –and fast– makeup application? I know I do!

In this episode, I’m sharing my 5 everyday beauty essentials… one of which I can’t believe I’m going to admit on the podcast. It’s really embarrassing! And yes, I’m going to give you the specific names of the brands in my makeup bag, because even though I don’t do affiliate links and I want you to choose what works for you, I love to know what people are actually using and I want to make your life easier. So I’m going to share the exact products I personally use and swear by.

Plus, we’re going beyond my own favorites and I’m going to help you pinpoint your own makeup must-haves. Because I always want you to take what you hear on the show and apply it in your own personalized way. So turn up those headphones and get ready to take notes. This is gonna be a good one!

Each of these types of wardrobes is going to have a unique challenge and you know I’m all about personalized solutions.

Today’s Q&A Thursday question is the most honest, vulnerable, and maybe relatable question I’ve received yet. Our friend Lyndsay opened up to me recently about her struggle to build a closet when her weight is in a constant flux. She wants to feel stylish but confessed that she nearly always feels unattractive. And it really affected me to hear that.

I want you to feel beautiful no matter your current size, your body shape, your features, your flaws, your budget, your life. It is 100% possible to build a wardrobe you love and to feel your best every single day. I’m on a mission to EMPOWER you to look past your obstacles and discover the simple art and science of getting dressed. It’s so much easier than you think!

I know Lyndsay is not alone in this at all. So many women are struggling to feel comfortable in their own skin and to dress their bodies in a way that makes them see just how beautiful they truly are. If you’re feeling this way, I wish I could give you the biggest hug. But since I can’t do that, I’ve rounded up 10 practical tips to help you build a wardrobe through weight fluctuations.

Even if you feel like it’s a waste of money to buy clothes that might not fit you in another week or month or year. Even if you don’t want to buy clothes at your current size. Even if you don’t know how to dress to flatter your figure. This IS applicable to you. Please don’t dismiss the content in this podcast as only relatable to women who are a specific size or style type or demographic. This information is for YOU. Yes, you, listening right now on the other side of the speaker. I’m talking to you, I’m here to support you, and together, we’re going to make sure you stop feeling stuck and insecure and start getting dressed and showing up every day with confidence!

There’s an overlooked October holiday you’ve probably never heard of. It’s very near and dear to my heart. Yesterday, October 22nd, was US National Color Day! Yes, that’s a real holiday! It was started in the early 1900s as a day to celebrate our relationship with color and the impact it has on our lives.

Color has a direct link to our emotions. It can energize and motivate us. It can inspire creativity and influence our decisions. Wearing your best colors instills confidence and joy when getting dressed. I hear this from my clients all the time.

But I’ve been noticing a big trend: We’re afraid to wear color. We lack the confidence to create outfits in new color combinations. We pair the same things together the same way every time. We default to basic black and we let our closets (and homes) become a blank canvas of white, beige, and gray.

I’m all for a good neutral, but I want to empower you to have less fear around color! So in today’s episode, I’m sharing 7 ways to confidently wear ANY color you want. Yes, you can break away from your Personal Color Palette, your comfort zone of camel and cream, and your go-to choice of blue or green (be honest: you know there’s one dominant color in your wardrobe!), and wear any color you want with complete confidence.

In a perfect world, we would all have unlimited funds to curate our closets each season. You’d be able to shop wherever you like and buy whatever you want. But for most of us, that’s not reality.

Like our friend, Katie, who submitted today’s Q&A Thursday question, you might be starting at ground zero, with a small budget, and no idea where to begin.

If this sounds familiar, you’ve come to the right place. Because today, I’m here to give you some really practical tips to build your wardrobe from the ground up on a limited budget. Yes, it’s 100% possible to build your wardrobe —from scratch— without breaking the bank! Refill your mug and get ready to take some notes as I guide you through it.

Happy Monday, my friend! I’ve been receiving quite a few emails lately that start out with… “I’m a new HER Style Podcast listener” or “I just found your podcast!” So first, I want to say welcome if you’re new around here or if you’ve been listening from the very beginning. I’m so grateful to have you in my little corner of the podcast world.

Full disclosure: I do things differently.

In fact, as I was (dangerously) scrolling on Instagram the other day, I realized just how differently. And I jotted down a short list of 5 very popular practices I DON’T subscribe to as a stylist. If you’re poking around for any of these, I want you to know why you won’t find them here and what I will be sharing with you instead.

Stick around as I break down my fashion philosophies and how this unique approach is designed to help you buy less, shop smarter, and build a wardrobe you love.

Wanna hear something crazy? The average woman is approximately 5’ 3” worldwide and wears a size 16. This means that the average woman is a petite plus size. Now the crazy thing is, even though this is currently the most common female body type, it also happens to be the hardest sizing to find among retailers.

So if you’re short AND you have some curves, you might be feeling frustrated like our friend, Stephanie, who submitted today’s Q&A Thursday question. She struggles to find her size in stores but when she orders clothing online, it rarely fits her properly.

If you’re a petite plus size woman, this episode is a must listen, because I’m about to serve up 7 ways to improve your shopping experience. Believe me when I say it’s possible to build a wardrobe you love, no matter your clothing size. Tall or petite, curvy or slender, there are options out there for you. Now, let’s help you find them!

11 - My Not-So-Secret Strategies To Shop More Effectively Online

About 2 months ago, I added a tagline to HER Style Podcast: Buy Less, Shop Smarter, Build a Wardrobe You Love. I’d be lying if I said that came naturally to me. When I let myself go on autopilot, I want to buy all the things. I shop with abandon. And my wardrobe gets out of control.

I’ve confessed my former shopaholic ways. I used to believe more was more when it came to my closet. I wanted options and to have a wardrobe brimming with trendy pieces! I never wanted to be photographed or seen in the same thing twice. I depleted my bank account many times on the quest to have it all.

It’s taken years of not only discipline, but discernment about what really matters to me, where I want to invest my finances, and learning the hard way that material possessions never satisfy. After 38-years, I no longer define my worth by what I own. But it’s taken a long time to get to this place.

In today’s episode, following on the heels of what I shared about my parallel battle with perfectionism, I’m diving deep into what I’ve learned during my lifelong struggle with contentment. If you’ve ever felt like you need something —anything– outside of you in order to feel happy, confident, or just plain peaceful, then pull up a chair, my friend. We have much to discuss.

Happy Thursday, my friend! I put out a call for more Q&A Thursday questions and you delivered! I received a handful of topics to cover in these weekly bonus episodes, but you’ve gotta keep them coming. They seem to trickle in a few at a time. So if you have a question or a topic you’d like me to cover, please let me know! It doesn’t matter if we’ve talked about it in a past episode or if it feels out of the norm or like an isolated problem that only you face. I’m here for you! And I want to give you exactly what you need in these episodes. So you can head over to herstylellc.com/podcast and leave a voice memo using the Speakpipe plug-in on that page – no fancy tech needed! Just hit the record button and leave a message right from your phone or your computer. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

And I’m very excited to cover today’s question, which came in from our friend, Lisa. She’s been working hard to rebuild her wardrobe over the last couple of years but she’s gotten stuck. She’s found so much conflicting advice on the Internet about how to dress for her body’s shape and proportions that she has no idea what to do!

So in this episode, I’m going to tell you how to quiet the noise, hone in on the right advice for you, and know exactly what to focus on to build a wardrobe you love.

18 - Who’s Influencing Your Style?

Guess what! It’s my birthday month! That’s right. It’s a running joke in my family that I don’t just have a birthday… I have a birthday month.

As I was thinking about what I wanted to share with you, I came up with today’s topic. But it had 2 different titles: What I Learned From My 38-Year Struggle with Perfectionism and What I Learned From My 38-Year Struggle with Contentment. I couldn’t decide which to focus on and I feel like they’re equally important messages, so I decided to turn this into a 2-part series. Today, we’ll be focusing on perfectionism and next Monday, we’ll talk about contentment.

Now, you know I love giving you really tactical episodes on building a wardrobe you love. Admittedly, these 2 episodes are going to be a little bit different from the norm. I’m not talking about the fall trends (you can listen to episode #74 for that!) or how to create better outfits (see episode #72). But from time to time, I like to go deeper and I feel like it’s necessary.

Because on a lot of fashion & beauty podcasts, you’re going to hear all of the products you need to buy to look younger and prettier. You’re going to hear about cosmetic surgeries and what the hottest celebrities are wearing and doing. You might leave feeling less than. I know I have. You’re going to hear a laundry list of what you have to have this season to look stylish and be on trend and feel fabulous. But if you’ve been hanging around HER Style Podcast for a minute, you know I don’t subscribe to that. I believe less is more. I want you to shop smarter and with greater intention. And I’m all about helping you work with what you’ve got rather than making you feel like there’s something you’re missing.

So today, we’re going to dive into my 38-year struggle with perfectionism. I wish I could tell you this is a challenge I’ve fully overcome. It’s still a journey for me as I get ready to celebrate my 39th birthday this month. But I have learned quite a few lessons and I feel like everyday it gets easier to embrace my shortcomings and imperfections.

Hey friend! I have to tell you, I wasn’t sure I was going to get a Q&A Thursday episode out to you this week because my queue of questions is completely empty!

Thankfully, I dipped into my email and I have a folder where I save all of the responses I get from my sweet readers on my VIP email list. And I reopened an email I got from our friend, Ellen, about a problem that is way more common than she might realize. She’s struggling to love her style in this new season of her life. I know I’ve been there, especially after the birth of my son.

What are we supposed to do when our lifestyle does a 180 but we aren’t ready to let go of the pieces in our wardrobe that no longer serve a purpose? How do you learn to adopt and embrace a whole new style when the story of your life turns to the next chapter?

In today’s episode, I’ll tell you exactly how you do it.

Before you fill in your fall wardrobe, we need to talk about what’s trending this season. Because I know you want to stay current in a way that still feels comfortable for you. My motto is usually staples first, but adding a couple of new trends to your wardrobe each season can be just what you need to shake things up and keep your wardrobe feeling stylish.. So let’s take a peek at the 10 most wearable trends this season and –in typical Heather fashion– I’ll break down how to know which are right for you.

Earlier this year, I had the absolute pleasure of working with a private client who happened to be an interior designer. We scheduled a session to dive into the topic of dressing to flatter her figure. And when I opened up this conversation, as I always do, I explained that a major component to dressing well is incorporating some basic design principles. Her eyes lit up and I saw a lightbulb go off. She had never thought about applying her interior design skills to the art of creating outfits.

Now, to be fair, people often assume that as an image consultant, I’m great with interior design. But I really don't feel like that’s the case. I can pinpoint what I like and I can recreate spaces in my home based on a design sample I see. But I’m NOT an interior designer –at all. There are plenty of nuances to that field that I would need to study. Just like my client still had a lot to uncover about image consulting.

I would equate this to any field. A doctor can’t be a phenomenal heart surgeon and pediatrician and orthopedist even though they all start with the same basic training in anatomy. They had to begin by taking a lot of the same classes and fundamentals and then they specialized. It was the same way for my client and me. But when she realized she could apply many of the design principles she uses every day in her interior design application, it all started to come together.

Today, I want to share some of those same tips with you and offer up 3 of my favorite design principles to use when getting dressed. Whether you’re an artist or a designer or this is the first time you’re hearing these concepts, I have a feeling this will completely revolutionize the way you think about putting your outfits together!

I have a super fun and quick Q&A Thursday episode for you today! Recently, I was talking with a dear friend of mine and the topic of personal style came up. She mentioned that she struggles to know what her style is because she likes so many different things!

This is a challenge I relate to wholeheartedly. In fact, I just confessed in the podcast interview with my client, Ashleigh, that a small part of me questions my own style every time I get to work with a new client! I love dialing in all different looks, I was a major style chameleon in my teens and early twenties. There are so many incredible styles to choose from, how can you possibly decide on one signature look?!

In today’s episode, I’m going to answer this question that plagues so many of us. When you’re confused about your style, it can stop you in your tracks from everything else we talk about here – from auditing your closet to shopping with intention. So this is a problem we need to solve.

Challenge accepted, my friend. Let’s get to it!

In my past 16 years as an image consultant and personal stylist, I’ve heard all the reasons women feel like it’s not possible for them to have an enviable style. To be completely transparent, I’ve had some of these limiting thoughts myself.

Today, I’m revealing the top 3 things you DON’T need – that you probably think you do! – to look stylish. And I’ll even confess the one I struggle with the most.

If you’ve ever thought about giving up and surrendering to a life of sweatpants (or if you already have), then turn up your earbuds! Because I’m here to bust some serious myths about what it takes to look good and step into your best style. No more excuses, my friend! Let’s do this.

Welcome back, friend! I have one last bonus episode to round out your weekend! Hopefully you know by now that my 90-day group coaching program, HER Style Collective, is kicking off THIS Thursday! This is the last time you’ll be able to work with me in 2023, because the next round of the Collective won’t start until the new year. So come on in and let me guide you through buying less, shopping smarter, and building a wardrobe you love using the proven, 3-step process I’ve been implementing successfully with my clients over the last 16 years. (Yes, I’m old enough to have been doing this work for 16 years!)

One of those clients is my student, Inês, who I invited onto the show to tell you all about her experience inside my Wardrobe Refresh Program. This program was the do-it-yourself version of this process. But with HER Style Collective, I’m going to guide you through each step personally along with an intimate collective of women, so we can support, encourage, and hold each other accountable. Because I want to make sure you’re not just getting the style education you need, but actually doing the work to streamline your wardrobe, shop with strategy, and get dressed with confidence.

Now, something you need to know about Inês is that she is a busy, working mom. And when I say busy, I mean BUSY. She’s a doctor and she teaches at a university and she manages her household and has kids at home. But through my program, she was able to carve out some time for herself, reclaim confidence in her style, she added color back into her wardrobe, and started embracing her Portuguese style again even if it means standing out in a big way in her new town.

In this candid conversation, we explore how she thought about the investment not just from a financial perspective but the commitment to using precious time to revamp her wardrobe –AND the surprising benefit it brought to her family! I can’t wait for you to hear her story. So listen in and please realize that all of her results are possible for you, too.

I’m back with another bonus episode for you today! HER Style Collective, my 90-day interactive group coaching program, is starting in just 5 days. I’m SO excited to dive in and I can talk about the benefits of this program all day long. But I don’t want you to take my word for it. My students are the best testament to its success.

So I invited 3 of them on to share their stories with you in bonus episodes throughout the weekend! Yesterday, you heard Aliya’s story and today, we’re turning it over to my client, Ashleigh.

Ashleigh enrolled in my now retired Wardrobe Refresh Program (which followed the same step-by-step framework as HER Style Collective in a DIY format) a little over a year ago while she was pregnant with twins and juggling her sweet toddler, married life, working from home and all the things. It was a big leap for Ashleigh to invest in herself and take on this program. Since then, we’ve been able to design the perfect Personal Color Palette for her as well and it’s been a joy to see her success in implementing what she’s learned.

Listen in today as Ashleigh shares about her struggles to adapt her style after transitioning to motherhood and working from home, having a lack of confidence in her wardrobe, and a pretty common case of comparisonitis. You’ll also get to hear about how she learned to trust her style intuition, reworked her wardrobe without having to buy lots of new pieces, and finally stopped buying the same black t-shirt over and over and started shopping with strategy and intention!

I know you’re going to love this conversation, friend. Here we go!

63 - My Wardrobe Makeover Update and the Revelation That's Changing My Entire Business

Surprise! I have a bonus episode for you today! As we countdown to the kick-off of HER Style Collective, my 90-day interactive group coaching program, which starts on Thursday, September 14th, I wanted to bring some new voices onto the podcast. You’ve heard about my experience revamping my wardrobe this summer – what worked and what didn’t work – on episode #63 and I’ve talked about why I created this program and what results you can expect in episode #66. So you have a lot of the information and the data behind how this works.

But how do you know whether it will work for you? What if you’re short on time between the demands of work and motherhood? What if your body has gone through changes in recent years and you’ve just been looking at your clothes as a way to cover it up? What if you don’t want to have a big budget or the desire to start over and buy a whole new wardrobe?

Those are scenarios that I’ve not only faced myself but that my clients have come to me with over the years. And so I invited 3 students from my old Wardrobe Refresh Program onto the podcast to share about their experiences, what their challenges were coming in, the results they created going through that training, and what they’re most looking forward to about the new HER Style Collective program we’re all diving into this fall. 

Over the next several days, I’m going to introduce you to these 3 amazing women. You’ll hear their stories and I saw pieces of my own journey in every single one of them. I know you’re going to relate, too, and hopefully find some comfort in what they have to share.

Today, we’re kicking off this bonus series with my student, Aliya. She candidly talks about how shopping was such a stressful experience, she had to have a cup of coffee and clear her mind before she could go! She found herself stuck in a style rut, in a body that had gone through changes over the prior year, and felt distraught that style was only really attainable to influencers. Does any of that sound familiar?

Then, Aliya found my program and decided to make an investment in herself and in a solution that would benefit her through different seasons and phases of her life. The results she’s achieved have been incredible! I can’t wait for you to hear the total transformation she’s experienced when it comes to shopping, relating to her body, and putting outfits together –all without doing an entire wardrobe overhaul, just with utilizing her existing pieces in a whole new way.

You do not want to miss this story, my friend. Let’s jump right into my conversation with Aliya!

18 - Who’s Influencing Your Style?

Maybe every generation before us has felt this way, but we’re in kind of a weird and unprecedented time, aren’t we? Last week, we were on a family vacation and I don’t remember how the conversation got started, but my dad turned to my sister and said, “I don’t really get the whole influencer thing.”

My sister explained to him that influencers sell a lifestyle. They sell themselves. People buy what they’re selling because they find something in them that they desire: beauty, luxury, edge, adventure, confidence.

From the original Mad Men of advertising to celebrity endorsements, companies have always used buyer psychology to influence our purchasing decisions. We’re sold a lifestyle every time we see those picture perfect couples on Christmas morning with the new Mercedes SUV in the driveway wrapped up in a big, shiny, red bow. I get emails from Vogue magazine every day with headlines like, “J.Lo Wears This Dramatic Accessory While Shopping In Capri”. We’re made to want what other people have. Social media influencers are simply the latest iteration of age old advertising.

Maybe you’ve succumbed to the influencer craze. If so, you’re not alone. The influencer industry, as we know it today, has exceeded 21 billion dollars and more than doubled in size since 2019. Perhaps you’ve gotten sucked into the even newer de-influencing trend, scrolling TikTok videos and Instagram reels for products people tell you NOT to buy… and often, what to buy instead. Yeah, that’s a sneaky one. It’s like the Matrix of social selling!

Whether you frequent the feeds of a handful of carefully selected micro-influencers or whether you distrust anyone selling anything on social media, we need to navigate this era of online shopping with greater intention. So in today’s episode, I’m breaking down my thoughts on influencer marketing, the de-influencing trend, and why buying LESS is the counterintuitive secret to having more.
