The Everyday Style School

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 avoid.By the end, you’ll see fit differently—and that shift alone can change everything about how your wardrobe works for you. You’ll stop wasting money on “almost right” pieces, and start building outfits that feel good and look polished, straight off the hanger.In this episode:Why sizing up for a "relaxed look" doesn't work the way influencers say it willThe key info you should be looking for online to end up with clothes that fit wellWhat you need to know about sizingHow things like fabric content play a role in a garment's size and fitHow to look at tailoring as investment, instead of just an added expenseI hope this episode encourages you to slow down the next time you shop, and really look at how clothes fit on you. Try different cuts, pay attention to fabric, and practice spotting the small details that make the biggest difference. A little extra awareness here will give you more outfits you love, and a lot less stress in front of the mirror.Full show notes and resources: https://youreverydaystyle.com/ep-222

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 yes, even if you've been listening to me for six years, you might need this more than you think.Here's what we're diving into in this episode: Why mastering the basics beats collecting style hacks every single timeThe six non-negotiable style fundamentals that will transform how you get dressedWhy fit trumps everything else in your wardrobeHow building a strong style vocabulary will revolutionize your shoppingThe difference between knowing your body shape and actually understanding your bodyI hope this season will help you see that fundamentals aren't just a box to check before you get to the "good stuff"—they ARE the good stuff. Master them, and they'll give you the confidence to trust your choices and the skills to make any outfit work.Full show notes and resources: https://youreverydaystyle.com/221

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).Full show notes and resources: https://youreverydaystyle.com/style-rules-waste-time

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.Full show notes and resources: https://youreverydaystyle.com/not-just-cute-outfit

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 the life you want.Full show notes and resources: https://youreverydaystyle.com/single-use-outfits

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.Full show notes and resources: https://youreverydaystyle.com/closet-boutique-museum

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 taste, because when it comes to style, your opinion is the only one that matters.Full show notes and resources: https://youreverydaystyle.com/only-opinion-matters
