We’re halfway through the season, and this heatwave is making layering basically impossible. And when all you’re left with is a top and a bottom, it’s easy to feel stuck and uninspired.

In this episode of Making Fashion Make Sense, I’m sharing a no-layer styling guide for looking put-together without piling things on. We’ll talk about how to make simple outfits feel intentional, avoid the statement-top trap, and actually enjoy getting dressed, even in 30-degree weather!

CHAPTERS

If you’re always shopping for the next “perfect” piece, chasing trends, or hoping a new outfit will finally fix your style, you’re not alone.

In this first episode of Making Fashion Make Sense I’ll walk you through four honest reasons you might hate your clothes right now — and more importantly, how to fix it. These are lessons I’ve had to learn myself (sometimes more than once), and I’m sharing the mindset shifts and practical tips that helped me reconnect with my personal style, feel more confident in what I wear, and actually enjoy getting dressed again.
