The Everyday Style School

As women, we know life is all about changes: from our bodies, to the trends, to our lifestyles, these upheavals can wreak havoc on our closets, our wallets, and our psyches. Life is uncertain, but your style doesn’t have to be. This semester, we’re digging into all the changes life throws at us, and talking about how to navigate each one so great style can be as certain as death and taxes. 

All season long, I’ll be sharing stories of clients who struggled to dress through body changes, career changes, lifestyle shifts, and simply getting...

The Everyday Style School is back from summer vacation with a look at what all the cool girls (that’s you!) will be wearing this season. As always, there are tons of runway trends being talked about, but in this episode I’m covering a few of the Fall 2026 Trends you’ll actually see in stores this season. We’re talking about the colors that are big, the biggest trend in denim, a couple of accessories you’ll see everywhere, and the Fall 2026 detail I’m obsessed with.

Plus, we dive into how to wear the trends. From how to...

Feel like you never have the right thing to wear? You’re not alone. 

Most women have Goldilocks closets–full of clothes that are too dressy, or too casual, when all they want is a wardrobe that feels just right. 

Building a perfect “ready for anything” wardrobe doesn’t have to be a fairytale, and this episode will help make it a reality.

In this episode, I talk about:

You’ve got better things to do than spend 20 minutes picking the perfect errand-running outfit, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be stylish on days you’re not going anywhere special. Style can’t be one more thing on your to-do list, so I’m sharing what it takes to create an automatic habit of everyday style.

In our last episode, we explored whether AI style apps can really make style easier, and this week, I'm taking a look at AI models like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, to see if they can do the same. How good is the advice?

We're back, and kicking off the Spring semester, which is all about making style easier in your everyday life!

In this episode, I talk about why you can have all the technical style knowledge in the world, but still struggle to get dressed each day (and actually like the results).

I also share why dressing well has to become a daily habit, rather than something you only do when it really "matters", and how consistent practice is the key to...

We've reached the end of our fall semester, and I couldn't think of a better way to wrap things up than by answering YOUR questions. 

If you've been following along this season, you've learned about fit, color, proportion, body shape, and the fundamentals that make getting dressed easier. But learning the basics is just the starting point. How do you apply everything to your real life, your real body, and your real closet? I invited you to submit the questions that were holding you back, and that's what we're diving into today. 

From decoding color un...

How well do you really know your personal style? I'm talking beyond the surface-level stuff—like whether you gravitate toward black or prefer bright colors. In this episode, we're diving deeper into the often-overlooked foundation of great style: truly understanding yourself. 

The biggest style breakthroughs don't come from following trends or mastering complicated styling formulas. They come from paying attention to what actually works for you. Today, we're unpacking 10 essential things every woman should know about herself if she wants getting dressed to feel easier, more fun, and authentically hers.

I hope this episode helps you...

If you've ever taken a body shape quiz only to feel more confused than when you started, you're not alone. Despite all the resources out there—quizzes, blog posts, entire businesses built around body types—understanding and dressing your shape remains the #1 challenge I hear from women.

Today, I'm breaking down why traditional body shape labels like "apple," "pear," "hourglass," and "rectangle" aren't working for most of us. More importantly, I'm sharing a better way forward that doesn't require you to fit perfectly into a labeled box.

In this episode, you'll discover: 

Let's talk about the topic that makes me geek out more than anything else in the style world: proportion. I know, I know—it doesn't sound exciting. But here's what I've learned after dressing thousands of women: you can have all the right pieces, follow all the rules, and still feel like your outfits don't work. The missing piece? Understanding proportion. 

This episode is packed with the kind of knowledge that actually makes a difference in how you look and feel in your clothes. We're diving deep into what proportion really means, why most women get it wro...

Have you ever wondered why some color combinations look effortlessly chic while others feel like a fashion miss? It all comes down to understanding how color actually works. 

In this episode, I'm breaking down the three fundamental elements that affect both how colors look on you and how they work together in your outfits. 

This isn't about handing you a color card and calling it a day—it's about giving you the knowledge to make confident color choices for life.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Have you ever ordered something online that looked perfect in the description, only to be completely disappointed when it arrived? Or struggled to explain to a sales associate exactly what you're looking for? Today, I'm sharing why building your style vocabulary is one of the most practical things you can do to make shopping easier, faster, and so much more successful.

After 25 years of dressing women, I've seen how knowing the right words transforms the entire style experience. When you can name what you're looking for—whether it's a split v-neck blouse or palazzo pants—you stop wast...

This season, we're focusing on the fundamentals, and there's nothing more fundamental to your style than fit. 

In this episode, I’m breaking down the most common pitfalls I’ve seen over the years that make great wardrobes look just okay, instead of amazing. Fit mistakes are sneaky. They show up in the way sleeves hang, in how fabrics skim (or cling), in the numbers we get attached to, and in the “quick fixes” that actually make things worse. The good news? Once you know what to look for, these mistakes are easy to spot, and even easier to...

If you've been listening to style advice for years but still find yourself staring at a closet full of clothes you never wear, there's a good chance you've been focusing on the wrong things. 

I'm changing up the Everyday Style School this season because I've had an important realization—most of us are drowning in style advice while still struggling with the basics. We collect tips and tricks like they're going out of style, but we never build the foundation that actually makes everything else work. 

This season is my love letter to the fundamentals, and...

If you’ve ever followed all the style “rules” and still felt stuck, this one’s for you. In this episode, I’m sharing one of the biggest reasons traditional style advice doesn’t actually help you become more stylish—and what to do instead. 

We’ll look at how rules oversimplify things, what they leave out, and why understanding the why behind what you wear makes style feel a whole lot less frustrating (and way more fun).

In this episode of Summer Shorts, I’m sharing one of the most practical—and eye-opening—style lessons I’ve learned: Spend your money where you spend your time. I’ll tell you about the client who helped me see how often there’s a disconnect between the clothes we invest in and the lives we actually live. 

If you’ve ever felt like your closet doesn’t reflect your real life—or like getting dressed is harder than it should be—this episode will help you spot what’s not working, and figure out if your issue is quantity, qual...

In this week’s episode of Summer Shorts, we’re unpacking a hidden belief that might be keeping you from loving your wardrobe—or even building one that works. If you’ve ever felt like caring about clothes is silly, shallow, or self-indulgent, this one’s for you. 

We’re exploring the difference between believing style doesn’t matter and believing it shouldn’t, where that mindset comes from, and how to reframe it so you can start using style as the powerful tool it really is—not just for looking good, but for living fully.

In this episode of Summer Shorts, we’re flipping the script on where true style starts. Spoiler alert: it’s not your jeans or your blazer—it’s what you wear when no one is watching.

In this episode of Summer Shorts, I tackle the expensive mistake of last-minute clothes shopping and why those panic purchases never become wardrobe favorites. 

I explain the real reasons we find ourselves sweating in fitting rooms at 9 PM (spoiler: it's not just poor planning), why shopping from panic instead of preference leads to ill-fitting, off-brand purchases, and how these one-off items create closet confusion. 

I share practical strategies for planning ahead, preparing your closet for impromptu special occasions, and embracing that caring about how you look isn't frivolous - it's about living more fully in th...

In this episode of Summer Shorts, I share my favorite piece of style wisdom about transforming your closet into the boutique you shop from each morning. 

I break down the two parts of creating this boutique experience - what's actually in your closet and how the space makes you feel - and explain why your closet shouldn't be a museum to who you used to be or storage for who you might become. You’ll also get practical tips for upgrading your space.

In this episode of Summer Shorts, I tackle something that sounds simple but keeps so many women stuck: giving yourself permission to like what you like. 

I explain why asking "what do WE think?" about your outfits is the wrong question, how focusing on getting style "right" instead of wearing what you love leads to the expensive "should" trap, and why buying clothes you think you should have makes you feel like a style imposter. 

I share practical exercises to help you identify what you actually love in your closet and start trusting your own ta...

In this episode of Summer Shorts, we’re getting to the root of your wardrobe problems by revealing where they actually live: in your pants.

Finally, I give you a step-by-step process to diagnose which problem you need to solve before you spend another dollar on clothes.

In this episode of Summer Shorts, I’m diving into my most repeated, but misunderstood, piece of advice!

Do you dread the seasonal wardrobe changeover? Let's be honest - pulling out bins, packing away clothes, and managing a closet that's bursting at the seams isn't anyone's idea of fun. But what if it didn't need to be so painful?

Let's talk about what I believe is one of the most destructive style habits you can have - recreational shopping. After over 25 years as a stylist, I've seen how this habit wastes money, confuses style, and leaves women with "nothing to wear" despite having closets full of clothes. 

Recreational shopping isn't just those planned shopping trips with girlfriends; it's any time you buy clothes you weren't expecting to, from impulsive Target t-shirt purchases to vacation souvenirs that never make it out of the closet once you're home. 

In this episode, I'm breaking down why this ha...

Today, I'm pulling back the curtain to share something I've been thinking about a lot lately - which pieces of my own style advice I actually follow, and which ones I don't. 

As someone who gives a lot of guidance about building a better wardrobe, I think it's important to be transparent about how I apply these principles in my own life. More importantly, I want to share why sometimes breaking the "rules" makes sense, even when the advice itself is solid.

Here's what I shared in this episode:

Is there ever a morning when you feel like you just don't have time to look put together? As a wardrobe stylist who's worked with thousands of women, I know that mornings can be hectic, and style often takes a backseat to just getting out the door.
