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!

In today’s Q&A Thursday episode, we’re solving another top challenge that comes up every few months with one of my clients or another. And I know it’s a problem you’re probably facing, too: How to look better in your leggings and joggers! 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.

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.

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.

So in this episode, I want to help you come up with better outfit ideas using your existing pieces!

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.

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.

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!

Between getting turned around and wasting time, the struggle to find something you like or that actually fits, and temptations to impulse buy around every corner, I understand if you don’t bother shopping in-stores anymore. But there are some great benefits to hitting the shops and trying things on in-person when you can.

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 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.

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.

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.
