Things are about to get crazy, friend. In just 2 weeks, we're moving out of what's been our home for the past 15 years. It's bittersweet and —if you've ever moved, then you know— it's also a little stressful. But we also just kicked off the latest round of my group coaching program, HER Style Collective, last week! And as I was welcoming the members into the program on our kick-off call, I realized something…. I want to refresh my own spring/summer wardrobe, too!

So I've decided to complete the process right alongside them. I mean, why not add one more project onto my plate? Truth be told, this is one I'm really going to enjoy and I think it will give me a welcome reprieve from all the packing and unpacking that's going to be going down over the next couple of months.

I'm already dreaming about what I want to bring into my closet (after we're settled in, of course). And in today's episode, I'll be breaking down exactly what's on my spring shopping list — and why! I'll also share how I came up with my list and give you a few pointers to do the same. If you know you want to pick up some new pieces for the season and you want to do it in a more intentional and strategic way, then I know you're going to love this episode!

Breaking news… I've been wearing short sleeves this week!!! Okay, I probably shouldn't have led with "breaking news", but I am very excited that the weather's been warming up, we've had a couple of sunny days, my son's baseball season is officially underway, and the transition into warmer weather is in full swing! I think it's time to pack up my winter sweaters and boots and officially step into spring.

Now, I don't wear a lot of black, not because I don't love it, but because it doesn't really do anything for me. But if you're anything like our friend, Deena, who submitted today's Q&A Thursday question… It might be one of your go-to hues. And, just like her, you might be wondering how you can keep wearing this notoriously dark and edgy color into the lighter and brighter days of spring and summer.

In today's episode, I'm going to share my thoughts on wearing black in warm weather seasons along with 6 ways you can lighten it up. Whether you want to feel softer or more feminine or you worry about dressing appropriately for the season, I've got you covered, friend. There are ways to wear your favorite hue throughout the year and in ways that work for any style type. Let's dive in and cover them all!

3 - Why Your Color Season Doesn't Matter and What You Want to Know Instead

Hey friend! I told you I had a big announcement today and I'm not going to make you wait one more second to hear it… Doors are OPEN to the Spring 2024 round of HER Style Collective! That's right! The next round of my group coaching program is officially enrolling and will be kicking-off on Thursday, April 11th.

During this 90-day program, I will walk you through my step-by-step system to buy less, shop smarter, and build a wardrobe you LOVE. You'll uncover all of your Style Foundations — including dialing-in your signature look, learning how to dress in ways that flatter your figure, and discovering your best colors. We'll do a full closet audit to evaluate your existing pieces and decide what to keep, donate, toss, and replace. I'll support you in designing your dream capsule wardrobe AND, together, we'll do a combination of strategic shopping to fill in the gaps and styling your clothing and accessories in better ways to maximize what you already own. This program is fully customized to your tastes, budget, lifestyle, body, and preferences.

Now, you know I love fashion and empowering you to build a wardrobe you love, but one of my favorite things about this process is seeing the transformation in my clients. And I'm not just talking about them stepping out in more stylish outfits or feeling excited to get dressed again. Although that is a joy, I've also seen them have major breakthroughs around deeper topics like body image, confidence, relationships, business opportunities, self-worth, reconnecting with who they are. The impact of working on your style and your image ripple out into every aspect of your life and it's such an honor for me to witness.

One of those clients has agreed to join me on the show today. Angela has been a member of the Winter Collective this season so I've had the pleasure of working with her since January and WOW — her results have blown even me away! Angie has followed every step of the program, reached out when she's needed some extra hand-holding and encouragement, and the effort she's put in is evident in her success. I cannot wait for you to hear her share candidly about her experience inside HER Style Collective.

So if this is a step you've been considering or if you just love hearing empowering stories of women like you who are rewriting their next chapter by pouring into themselves and up-leveling their self-image and style, then please join me in welcoming Angie to HER Style Podcast. You are in for such a treat today!

There's been a running theme inside the winter round of HER Style Collective. Quite a few of the women I've had the pleasure of coaching inside this 90-day group program came in feeling extremely dissatisfied with what's in their closets. One of them made a remark that "It would be easier to burn it all down at this point". I wonder if you're feeling the same way?

Friend, believe me. I know that pain. I think this can be especially difficult once you start doing the work to dial-in your signature style, learn what flatters your figure, and discover your best colors. There can end up being a pretty big divide between the beautiful vision you have for what you want your wardrobe to be and the, oftentimes, disappointing reality of where it is right now.

But listen closely. You do NOT have to burn it all down! There is hope for your closet, I promise you. And in today's episode, I'm walking you through 3 steps to salvage your wardrobe. Let's strategize about how to show up and feel your best in what you have and set realistic goals to get your wardrobe where you want it to be. There IS a way! And in this episode, I'll tell you what to do —and what NOT to do— as you face tough obstacles on your style journey. Let's go, friend!

I often end up being the dressiest person in the room. It's not because I'm so fancy…Okay, it might be that a little bit. But it's really because I LOVE wearing dresses and skirts. I'm much more comfortable in a dress, especially in the spring and summer when I don't want to put on shorts. I think there's almost nothing worse than your legs melting into a hot metal chair and getting stuck. No, thank you. I'll take a light, airy skirt any day of the week, especially in summer.

It also suits my feminine style. But even if your tastes differ from mine, there are ways to make dresses and skirts work for your personal style and your body type. So today, we're addressing a question that came in from our friend, Leah. She wants to know more about styling dresses and skirts and you know I'm always happy to oblige.

So grab a paper and pen, because we're diving deep today into fits, cuts, fabrics, and taking your dresses and skirts from day to night. I want to help you wear them with total confidence. So pull up a seat and let's talk about dresses and skirts!
