If you’ve been striving to invest in fewer but better pieces in your wardrobe, then today’s Q&A Thursday episode is one you do not want to skip. Thanks to a handful of questions sent in by our friend, Claudia, I’m covering everything you need to know about selecting high-quality fabrics, avoiding sweaters that pill at the very first wear, and why some pieces cost significantly more than others even when they’re made from the exact same materials!
I know the challenges of trying to read fabric labels, evaluating which brands are best, trying things on, and still struggling to find clothing items that stand the test of time. Let’s solve as many of these struggles as we can today.
But first, before we get into this episode, I want to let you know that I have just 3 Q&A Thursday spots left in 2024! So submit your question now to be featured in an upcoming episode! Head to https://herstylellc.com/podcast or send an email to [email protected] and let me know what style struggles I can help you solve —for free!— right here on HER Style Podcast before we head into the new year.
Now, let’s get into today’s topic so you can pick pieces that flatter you and last forever… or at least beyond a single season!

You love the idea of feeling comfy and cozy, but these wardrobe staples come with a lot of questions. Which underwear looks most flattering underneath? How can you minimize all the lumps and bumps that coincide with such form-fitting pants? What should you look for in terms of fabric and quality? And how can you create more flattering outfits out of these simple basics?
You can thank our friend Linday for submitting this topic for today’s conversation. Because we’re going to dive into the nitty gritty of leggings and joggers and explore 3 simple ways to look your best in both.

Getting dressed should be easy, right? It’s just clothes! How hard can it be? You know your style, you have a vision of how you want to look, and all you need are the outfits. But when you go to shop, you hit the same roadblock over and over… Nothing fits.
Pants are too tight in your waist and too loose in your hips. Jeans are too short, but the rise is too long. You want a wrap dress but you can’t find one that hugs your curves and hides your insecurities. And don’t even get me started on finding a comfortable pair of shoes that still look sexy and cute. Of all the style struggles I hear from my clients, fit frustrations seem to take the cake.
But friend, this is not hopeless. You can solve this for good. I truly believe that. There’s a critical step you might just be overlooking on your style journey. So in today’s episode, I’m going to share one easy exercise that could make all the difference in helping you find the right fits for your figure so you can shorten the learning curve when you’re shopping and boost your confidence when styling your outfits.
And it all starts with a lesson we can learn from my son and a game of Trouble…

One of the biggest shifts I’ve seen in the last 5 years or so in fashion is the desire many of us have for less in our wardrobes. I hear words like “streamlined closet”, “simple outfit formulas”, and a general want for fewer but better options when it comes to getting dressed. Our lives are busier and we want our wardrobes to be more functional than ever.
Maybe you find yourself in a position like our anonymous community member who sent in today’s Q&A Thursday question. She’s on the hunt for pieces that can go from casual to dressy, so she doesn’t need to stock up on more than is necessary for her life as a mom and new business owner. She wants to transition easily and effectively from caring for her littles to meeting with clients. But of course, this doesn’t mean your wardrobe needs to be boring! Because she’s also looking for ways to add fun pops of color and dress in hues that flatter her skin tone.
If you’re nodding along right now, thinking about how much you want this, too. Then, stick around and join me for this episode where we’re going to talk about easy ways to dress up your outfits in a snap along with fool-proof tips to branch out from neutrals and pick pops of color that bring out your best. I can’t wait for this one! Let’s get into it, friend.

If you’re feeling the itch to upgrade your wardrobe, your first question is more than likely, “Where do I start?” I hear this all the time from women who’ve cleaned out their closets, curated their style moodboards, and are left facing the big, daunting feat of… What’s next?
I’m all about buying new pieces with strategy and intention. And while I’ve talked about general tips to figure out your own shopping needs and priorities on the podcast, we’ve never really explored the core clothing items you should start with in your wardrobe. So today, as always, we’re going to cover this topic in a very personalized way. Because there’s no one-size-fits-all capsule formula for everyone. But if you’re feeling overwhelmed or confused about where to start, let’s eliminate the guesswork and give you a significant and strategic leg up on the journey to building a wardrobe you love.

It feels a little funny to admit that I have never tried a digital wardrobe app. It’s very possible that you have more experience than I do in this area. But I received a question from our friend Stefanie recently about whether they’re worth it. Even though my personal experience is limited, I have a lot of thoughts.
In this episode, I want to explore the pros and cons of digital wardrobe apps. We’re going to break down the reported benefits like organization, wardrobe cataloging, sustainability, and style inspo. But we’ll also talk about the one major glitch I see and whether it’s actually worth it to digitally catalog your wardrobe using one of these apps. If you’ve been wanting to organize your closet online or better maximize what you own, this is one conversation you’re gonna want to stick around for.
