Let's do a Style Files, where I interview listeners, readers, or watchers about their own style journey.  I sit down with Katie—someone whose style journey I’ve had the privilege of witnessing firsthand. From a self-proclaimed fashion outsider to someone who’s truly found her stride, Katie’s story is one of discovery, trial and error, and those “aha” moments that change everything.

We talk about what it was like for her to go from not really caring about style to feeling overwhelmed by social media and different style systems, and ultimately, to finding a way that actually clicked. 

Katie opens up about the shifts that made the biggest difference, the advice she wishes she had earlier, and what she’d say to anyone still figuring out their personal style. Whether you’re just starting out or deep in your own style evolution, there’s something here for you.

Tune in for an honest, inspiring conversation about what it really takes to find a style that feels like you.
