A common obstacle I see in our community is the struggle to bridge the gap between your 9-5 wardrobe and what you wear outside the office. But friend, you don’t need to invest in two separate wardrobes to feel stylish every day of the week.

Today on HER Style Podcast, we’re talking about how to build a transitional wardrobe—one that can take you from work to weekend without needing an entire outfit overhaul —or expensive shopping spree. I’ll walk you through the mindset shifts and practical strategies to help you mix, match, and reimagine the pieces you already own in new, wear-anywhere ways.

If you’ve ever stood in front of your closet thinking, ‘I have nothing casual enough for brunch’ or ‘this is too dressy to wear to the park,’ this episode is for you. Let’s simplify, stretch your style, and make your wardrobe work harder for you.

Welcome back to another Q&A round up episode of HER Style Podcast! I’ve been loving answering a handful of listener questions the first week of each month. It’s really helped me keep my advice short and sweet, more impactful and easier to implement, and I think we’ve been able to cover an even wider variety of topics, which is so much fun!

That said… I miss popping into your Airpods every single Thursday. So I’m very excited to announce that we are bringing back twice weekly episodes!! Yay! 🎉

Starting this month, I’ll be releasing new podcast content every Monday and Thursday again! I have some amazing episodes in store for you so make sure you’re following the show on your preferred podcast platform and of course, while you’re there it would mean the world to me if you took just 2 minutes to leave a written review and rating for the show. That is the best way to let me know you’re enjoying HER Style Podcast and to help other women to find it so we can continue to grow our amazing community here.

And speaking of community… in today’s monthly Q&A round up episode, you really showed up with some powerful questions! Today, I’m addressing the best stores to shop tall sizes, what to do if you have a boring –GASP!– style personality, how to tuck your tops when you’re self-conscious about your midsection, choosing the right color balance so you don’t overdo it with an overpowering look, and SO MUCH MORE!

We’d better get to it… You ready, friend? Go refill your cup and settle in as we tackle our May Q&A.

If you’ve been debating about whether to rent clothes on a monthly basis, you are definitely going to want to turn up your Airpods!

In today’s episode, I’m sharing the good, the bad, and the unexpected discoveries I’ve made about Nuuly —and whether or not I’ll be continuing to rent on the regular.

This past week, I was doing some online window shopping for one of my clients. Her daughter is getting married later this year and so we’re on the hunt for the perfect mother-of-the-bride dress! Imagine my excitement when I stumbled upon the unicorn dress we’ve been looking for. It was not only in one of the wedding colors, but my client’s exact eye color (a match made in heaven). It was a stunning silhouette for her figure, modest to suit her personal taste, and well within her ideal price point. I mean, this dress checked all the boxes. I was about to excitedly save it to her Pinterest window shopping board as a possibility and then… my heart sank.

As I began browsing through all of the amazing 5-star reviews, I noticed something strange. Each and every happy customer photo modeling this dress was FAKE. They were all very clearly Photoshopped or AI generated on top of what I can only imagine each wedding party member was actually wearing on those special days. I ran a quick Google search on the store and saw that they had received just as many 1-star reviews as 5-star reviews and very little in-between. It was a scam website.

Has this ever happened to you? You’re halfway through the checkout process and you get this internal inkling that something’s not right? Maybe you’ve been burned by a bad online shopping experience in the past? You received the wrong item, a fake item, or no item at all. Maybe you’re terrified to shop online because you don’t know which brands and products you can trust!

Friend, this episode is for you. Today, I’m breaking down 8 online shopping red flags you need to watch out for so you can avoid the scammers, those hidden shipping fees, and the subpar pieces your closet simply doesn’t have room for anymore. If you’re in the process of up-leveling your wardrobe, it’s time to raise the bar on what you’re willing to buy online. So let’s walk through the art of being a cautious buyer one red flag at a time.

Hey friend! I just wrapped up the most incredible week hosting our first ever Shop Your Closet Challenge! It was the greatest joy to connect with you for 5 whole days and walk you through some very simple steps to start wearing what you own. I was so impressed by everyone’s commitment to keep an open mind, try new things, and look at their wardrobes with a fresh perspective: letting go of the belief “it won’t work” and asking “what if it can?” instead.

This openness led members of HER Style community to cut the tags off pieces that had been sitting in their closets for years, rediscover hidden gems they’d forgotten about, and be inspired to try empowered and courageous outfit combinations that brought out their personalities and confidence in a whole new way.

Another, perhaps unexpected, side-effect of thoughtfully exploring and experimenting with what’s in your closet is that you might uncover some wardrobe gaps along the way.

If you feel like your closet is missing some key pieces, this episode will help you pinpoint exactly what they are —and what to do to fill them in with intention. No more impulse shopping! And say goodbye to a closet full of clothes with nothing to wear. Your strategic wardrobe refresh starts now.

Surprise, surprise… I have a very special bonus episode for you today! This is not our typical Q&A Thursday conversation. Instead, I invited HER Style Collective member, Jenna Anderson, to join me for a very open dialogue about how she has navigated so many of the challenges I know you might be facing, too.

In this interview with Jenna, she opens up about struggling for years to figure out her personal style and what flatters her (she clarified that it was, in fact, a 7 year battle—right after we stopped recording) and how all of that changed after taking the leap to join HER Style Collective. She also talks candidly about her weight loss journey and how she’s built a wardrobe she loves even through weight fluctuations. Plus, she reveals why her husband keeps encouraging her to renew her membership in the program AND we dissect the secret to having a wardrobe that really works for you.

Friend, I cannot wait for you to hear this episode with Jenna!
