• Stop Making These 5 Fit Mistakes

  is 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.Don't forget to submit your end-of-season style questions here.Full show notes and resources: https://youreverydaystyle.com/ep-222

• Style Fundamentals You Need to Master

  New season, new format!The Everyday Style School is moving to a school year calendar--with Fall and Spring semesters focusing on a central theme. My hope is that by giving you fewer, more focused episodes, you'll have time to apply what we talk about, and feel more confident in your style in less time.This fall, our theme is Back to Basics. All season long, we'll be talking about the fundamentals of style every woman needs to master. The reality is that most women are drowning in style advice, and yet somehow, it's still not adding up to a fabulous wardrobe that makes it easy to get dressed.What's missing? The fundamentals.Let's face it--the fundamentals aren't super fun. They're not sexy, and they don't make you feel like a style pro. Ironically though, mastering them is how you become a style pro. Consider this season my love letter to the fundamentals--the basic skills you need to become truly stylish. Once you've mastered them, everything else gets easy.Even if you've been listening to the show a long time, and consider yourself knowledgeable when it comes to style, listen with fresh ears. Whether you're learning them for the first time, or deepening your knowledge, the fundamentals of style will never steer you wrong. In this episode:Why going “back to basics” matters, even if you think you’ve mastered style.The big difference between collecting tips and actually building skills.What a football, a sourdough loaf, and the perfect shade of white have to do with your wardrobe.A sneak peek at the six style fundamentals we’ll cover this season.One simple reflection to help you get the most out of every episode.I 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, you won't need much else. Skip them, and not much else matters.Don't forget to submit your end-of-season style questions here.Full show notes and resources: https://youreverydaystyle.com/221

• Style Rules are a Waste of Time

  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

• Not Just a Cute Outfit

  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
