  • Episode 23: How to Dress for the Holidays (Without Buying a Whole New Wardrobe)

    In this festive and relatable episode of the Style Shop Podcast, stylists Sarah Liller and Tami Daylami break down the art of holiday dressing—minus the stress, the panic-buying, and the head-to-toe sequins that stores try to convince you that you “need.”

    From office parties to family dinners to nights out with friends, Sarah and Tami walk you through how to get dressed for every kind of holiday event using pieces you already own, plus a few strategic accessories that instantly elevate your outfit. They share why stores are overflowing with velvet and glitter this time of year (and why you don’t have to fall for it), and how to stay grounded in your own personal style while still feeling festive and intentional.

    You’ll learn:

    ✨ How to make your everyday pieces feel holiday-ready
     ✨ Why accessories—metallic shoes, sparkly earrings, brooches, and bold lipstick—are the real MVPs
     ✨ The magic of rich jewel tones and velvet (when used well!)
     ✨ Why separates are more versatile than a single once-a-year cocktail dress
     ✨ What to wear for family gatherings, office parties, and nights out
     ✨ How to avoid panic-buying and shop your closet with confidence

    From styling metallic shoes with your favorite jeans to transforming a simple slip dress with a blazer and boots, Sarah and Tami show you that festive style doesn’t require a full shopping spree—it just takes a little creativity.

    Whether you love holiday dressing or dread figuring out what to wear every December, this episode will leave you feeling inspired, resourceful, and totally prepared for the season.

    If you’ve ever found yourself buying things that end up sitting in your closet, impulse shopping because you’re stressed, or feeling overwhelmed when you try to shop intentionally, this conversation is for you.

    Sarah and Tami share how they approach clothing purchases for themselves and their clients, including:

    • How to know the difference between wanting something and needing something

    • How to make a running list so shopping becomes easier and more intentional

    • When to invest and when to save

    • Why trying clothes on is non-negotiable

    • Tips for reducing overwhelm and decision fatigue while shopping

    • They also discuss the emotional side of shopping — what’s really happening when you’re trying to fill a void, avoid discomfort, or reinvent yourself in a dressing room. And they offer gentle, actionable ways to tune into what you actually like and what you’ll actually wear.

      This episode is full of practical guidance, tiny mindset shifts, and real-life examples that will help you start shopping with confidence, clarity, and joy.

            • Episode 16: Amazon Dupes: It's just not worth it!

              This week on the Style Chat Podcast, we’re getting real about Amazon fashion dupes — and it’s not all lace tops and “look for less” reels. Join stylists Sarah Liller and Tami Daylami as we unpack the truth behind those seemingly amazing $30 copycat pieces and explore what’s really going on behind the scenes.

              Inspired by yet another viral dupe reel showing a near-identical Amazon version of a Free People lace top, we dive deep into the ethics, quality, and impact of fashion knockoffs. What does it mean when a top costs less than your lunch? Who's paying the real price? And does it actually feel good to wear something that looks luxe but was made in questionable conditions?

              We talk:

              • The psychology behind wanting a “steal”

              • The often-overlooked importance of fabric and fit

              • Fast fashion’s environmental and human costs

              • The difference between inspiration and outright design theft

              • Why chasing trends leads to overconsumption and wardrobe clutter

              • Better alternatives (hello, vintage and resale!)

              • And yes, we fully understand the allure of convenience and the thrill of scoring a deal — we’ve been there! But as stylists who’ve spent years helping clients build wardrobes they love, we’re here to say: there is a better way to shop, dress, and express yourself. And it starts with being a little more thoughtful about what ends up in your cart (and your closet).

                Whether you’re a fashion lover trying to shop more consciously, or you’ve ever been tempted by a “dupe” and wondered what the big deal was — this episode is for you.

                Tune in for a stylish, honest, and surprisingly fun conversation that just might change the way you shop.
