Let's talk about what I believe is one of the most destructive style habits you can have - recreational shopping. After over 25 years as a stylist, I've seen how this habit wastes money, confuses style, and leaves women with "nothing to wear" despite having closets full of clothes. 

Recreational shopping isn't just those planned shopping trips with girlfriends; it's any time you buy clothes you weren't expecting to, from impulsive Target t-shirt purchases to vacation souvenirs that never make it out of the closet once you're home. 

In this episode, I'm breaking down why this habit is so harmful, how to recognize when you're doing it, and practical strategies to shop more intentionally.

I hope this helps you recognize how your shopping habits can undermine your style and clutter your closet. Remember - if you have a closet full of clothes but you still struggle to get dressed, recreational shopping might be part of the problem. 

Your shopping habits determine the quality of your wardrobe, which affects how easily you can pull together outfits you love. Making even small changes to how you shop can have a huge impact on your everyday style!

Here's what you'll learn:

• What recreational shopping really looks like
• The two main ways recreational shopping wreaks havoc on your wardrobe.
• Why price vs. value matters more than you think - and why clearance sections create wardrobe problems, not solutions.
• The reasons why how you're feeling - and who you're with - can dramatically affect your purchases.
• Practical ways to break the recreational shopping habit.
