Improve Your Style Without Spending a Dime

Have you been harmed by traditional body shape advice? I think most of us have in one way or another, leaving us feeling confused or dissatisfied with our natural shape. The truth is, this type of advice leaves a lot to be desired. Today I dive deep into the flaws in traditional body shape advice and offer a fresh perspective on dressing for your body shape. For one thing, traditional body shape advice often focuses solely on flattery. However, it's crucial to consider how clothing items fit your unique body shape rather than just how they look. Remember, as I've said many times before, it's not you, it's the pants! Instead of using body shape advice to hide parts of your body you don't like, try celebrating the parts you love first. Dressing your body should start from a place of highlighting your best features rather than disguising what you perceive as flaws. Listen to the full episode for more valuable insights and tips on modernizing your approach to dressing for your body shape. As mentioned in the episode, this year I've already held several free mini-classes, with more planned. The invitations are exclusively sent through email, so if you want to come to these free classes, sign up here and also receive our mini capsule wardrobe guide.  In This Episode:  The problem with body shape advice that focuses on flattery and appearance, and why it's equally important to consider fit for different body shapes. A reminder that dressing your body should start from a place of highlighting your best features rather than disguising what you perceive as flaws. How magazines often generalize body shapes, failing to acknowledge the uniqueness of individual bodies and clothing items. How to experiment with styling to make clothing work for your body shape, as no single item exists in a vacuum. My tribute to the iconic Iris Apfell, who aged joyfully and leaned into style as she got older.    Full show notes and resources: https://youreverydaystyle.com/body-shape-advice-wrong

10 Wearable Trends for Spring 2024

   We've all been there--that moment you're tired of feeling blah or frumpy, and you're ready to have better style. If you're like most women, you do one of a few things: a) go shopping, b) clean out your closet, or c) hire someone to help you. And those are all good things. But style doesn't actually start there. At least lasting style doesn't. Better style starts in your mind. One thing I've said over and over is that what's in your head is more important than what's in your closet. How you think about style, what it means, and how much it matters goes a long way in making style easier and your intentions stick. Until your mind is ready for better style, your daily practices will probably feel like a bore...and a chore. Once your mindset shifts to believe that you and your efforts are worth it, style becomes easier, and dare I say it? Maybe even a little fun. In this episode, I'm sharing a few things super stylish women believe, not just do. So, before you hit the stores or empty your entire closet, make sure you spend a little time getting your mind in the right place.  If you want better style, but haven't been able to actually get started---or you struggle to consistently love the way you look, this one's for you! In this episode:   Four things super stylish women believe  Why relying on confidence won't help you get started  How to quiet the voice in your head that says, "What will they think?"  The myths that hold us back from having better style--and how to move past them      Full show notes and resources: https://youreverydaystyle.com/better-style-starts-here
