The Everyday Style School

Do you look at experts and think, "Were they born knowledgeable and wise?" Well, I can't speak for all the experts out there, but I certainly wasn't born knowing my own personal style! So in this episode, I'm clearing up any illusions that I was always good at this style thing. I'm sharing my own style story, and some of the things that shaped my thoughts and habits, as well as what I did to create new thoughts and habits. My style journey isn't all that different to yours, but the steps that I've taken - including dressing for my body shape and unlearning bad shopping habits - might be useful to you. Remember, learning the fundamentals of style can help you understand that your body isn't the issue. And life is more fun when you wear clothes that you love. In this episode: The one-sided relationship I used to have with clothes, and the single day that changed my life How I launched my first business in order to help women dress for their body shape The bad shopping habits that I absorbed as a child How my wardrobe became more refined and cohesive Why finding your own style is a matter of identifying and embracing your own natural uniform, not comparing yourself to others Don't forget that we'll shortly be running the Dress Your Body Shape challenge within The Style Circle. Join now to benefit from learning in a supportive environment and kiss closet drama goodbye! Full show notes and resources: https://youreverydaystyle.com/my-style-story

Do you find yourself struggling with "the dreaded" GAP IN THE BACK? Finding the perfect fit can be a real struggle! If finding pants that fit both your hips and your waist feels like a Dream Come True, you won't want to miss this episode. For years, Neha Samdaria struggled to find clothes - especially pants - that fit her correctly. She knew that this wasn't just her problem - one in four American women have "curvy bottoms" and struggle with the same fit issues. Modern sizing charts are designed to fit only one body type, and there is simply no room for those with a curvier shape. Neha is the founder and CEO of Aam, a new type of fashion label that is on a mission to change the way women with hourglass and pear-shaped body types shop for clothing. Listen in to learn about all the ways that Neha and Aam are altering the fashion industry - from changing sizing charts to only using sustainable fabrics and working exclusively with production partners who value an ethical code of conduct. In this episode: The story of how the idea for Aam was sparked on a trip to Rwanda Why Neha feels that problems of sizing and fit are due to assumptions based on bad data How Aam was launched during the Delta wave of COVID Neha's tips for successful online clothes shopping, and what people are paying for when they're not buying mass-produced fashion Details of how to get 15% off your next order from Aam   Full show notes and resources: https://youreverydaystyle.com/neha-samdaria/ 

Have you ever noticed that some women just seem to look stylish all the time? You might think to yourself, "What do they have that I don’t have?" A better body? A bigger bank account? Or an extra hour in the day?  Well, how would you feel if I told you that it wasn't any of those things? The truth is, looking stylish is within the grasp of every woman.  There are a few simple habits that those incredibly stylish women share, and today, I talk about five of them. The great news is these habits are more of a mindset than a set of rules, so they apply no matter what your personal style is. In this episode: Why so much style advice is confusing and contradictory The difference between professional stylists, and style content creators like bloggers and influencers My definition of what a stylish woman is The knowledge that dressing well can boost your mood, and reflects how you see and treat yourself Understanding what works for you is the difference between having personal style, and putting on a costume   Full show notes and resources: https://youreverydaystyle.com/habits-stylish-women/
