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:

• Why I don't strictly follow a capsule wardrobe approach, even though I create and sell capsule guides - and how this actually makes me better at developing versatile collections that work for different women's needs and styles.
• The truth about my "no multiples" rule and when I break it.
• How I navigate shopping in February and August (months I typically tell others to avoid), and the specific criteria I use to decide if an off-season purchase is worth it.
• The complex relationship I have with "dressing for your body shape" guidelines, and why following them too strictly can actually hinder your style journey. 

I hope this episode helps you understand that style advice isn't one-size-fits-all, and that even experts need to adapt guidelines to fit their real lives. The key is to understand the principles behind the advice, and then thoughtfully adapt them to your unique situation, lifestyle, and preferences.

What matters most isn't following every guideline perfectly, but creating a wardrobe that helps you live your big, rich, full life with confidence and joy.
