It’s Earth Day, friend! As someone who’s all about buying less, but better, I’m an advocate for ethical fashion and sustainable shopping. But I definitely don’t consider myself to be an expert. And I’ll be honest, sometimes the thought of searching for more sustainable clothing and accessories feels like more trouble than it’s worth. As women, we face so many pressures already. Do we really need to add eco-conscious shopping to the list? Well, my incredible guest, Anita Thomas, says yes and no. I’m so excited to introduce you to Anita because she is all about making sustainable shopping more DOABLE. But first, let me tell you a little bit about her background and how I knew she was the perfect guest to bring in for this topic. Anita is an inventor, sustainability advocate, and founder of the luxury fashion brand Lavāda. During the pandemic, she invented a 4-in-1, interchangeable vegan leather handbag that’s changing the way we think about handbags—and giving conscious shoppers who don’t want to compromise on sustainability for luxury—an elegant, yet eco-friendly option. She’s been using her background as a C-suite executive who drove multi-billion dollar portfolios to build a purpose-driven brand that’s helping to improve sustainability practices in fashion. Because as someone who comes from a long line of stewards of the land, she believes good stewardship is something everyone aspires to achieve. So through Lavāda she’s partnering with others to responsibly increase our impact with the resources we’ve been given. Today, Anita is going to share 5 super simple tips to ease your way into sustainable shopping. I know you’re going to love her down-to-earth demeanor and approachable ideas. And if you want to start shopping more responsibly without feeling burdened or breaking the bank, I know you’re going to love today’s conversation! Let’s dive in!

Welcome back to HER Style Podcast! It’s Thursday, which means it’s time for another Q&A episode. I can’t believe how well this one lined up. A week ago, I was out of listener questions in the queue. But I had a plan to share what’s on my spring shopping list on Monday’s episode. Well, don’t you know, I received a question from our friend, Heather, asking how to choose which wardrobe items to focus on first when you’re ready to revamp your wardrobe. I mean… How perfect is that? I shared my shopping list with you in the last episode and today, I’m going to tell you HOW I prioritized that list and chose which pieces to focus on first. If you’re feeling overwhelmed at the thought of tackling your wardrobe and you have no idea where to start, then this episode has your name written all over it!

Things are about to get crazy, friend. In just 2 weeks, we’re moving out of what’s been our home for the past 15 years. It’s bittersweet and —if you’ve ever moved, then you know— it’s also a little stressful. But we also just kicked off the latest round of my group coaching program, HER Style Collective, last week! And as I was welcoming the members into the program on our kick-off call, I realized something…. I want to refresh my own spring/summer wardrobe, too! So I’ve decided to complete the process right alongside them. I mean, why not add one more project onto my plate? Truth be told, this is one I’m really going to enjoy and I think it will give me a welcome reprieve from all the packing and unpacking that’s going to be going down over the next couple of months. I’m already dreaming about what I want to bring into my closet (after we’re settled in, of course). And in today’s episode, I’ll be breaking down exactly what’s on my spring shopping list — and why! I’ll also share how I came up with my list and give you a few pointers to do the same. If you know you want to pick up some new pieces for the season and you want to do it in a more intentional and strategic way, then I know you’re going to love this episode!

Breaking news… I’ve been wearing short sleeves this week!!! Okay, I probably shouldn’t have led with “breaking news”, but I am very excited that the weather’s been warming up, we’ve had a couple of sunny days, my son’s baseball season is officially underway, and the transition into warmer weather is in full swing! I think it’s time to pack up my winter sweaters and boots and officially step into spring. Now, I don’t wear a lot of black, not because I don’t love it, but because it doesn’t really do anything for me. But if you’re anything like our friend, Deena, who submitted today’s Q&A Thursday question… It might be one of your go-to hues. And, just like her, you might be wondering how you can keep wearing this notoriously dark and edgy color into the lighter and brighter days of spring and summer. In today’s episode, I’m going to share my thoughts on wearing black in warm weather seasons along with 6 ways you can lighten it up. Whether you want to feel softer or more feminine or you worry about dressing appropriately for the season, I’ve got you covered, friend. There are ways to wear your favorite hue throughout the year and in ways that work for any style type. Let’s dive in and cover them all!

Hey friend! I told you I had a big announcement today and I’m not going to make you wait one more second to hear it… Doors are OPEN to the Spring 2024 round of HER Style Collective! That’s right! The next round of my group coaching program is officially enrolling and will be kicking-off on Thursday, April 11th. During this 90-day program, I will walk you through my step-by-step system to buy less, shop smarter, and build a wardrobe you LOVE. You’ll uncover all of your Style Foundations — including dialing-in your signature look, learning how to dress in ways that flatter your figure, and discovering your best colors. We’ll do a full closet audit to evaluate your existing pieces and decide what to keep, donate, toss, and replace. I’ll support you in designing your dream capsule wardrobe AND, together, we’ll do a combination of strategic shopping to fill in the gaps and styling your clothing and accessories in better ways to maximize what you already own. This program is fully customized to your tastes, budget, lifestyle, body, and preferences. Now, you know I love fashion and empowering you to build a wardrobe you love, but one of my favorite things about this process is seeing the transformation in my clients. And I’m not just talking about them stepping out in more stylish outfits or feeling excited to get dressed again. Although that is a joy, I’ve also seen them have major breakthroughs around deeper topics like body image, confidence, relationships, business opportunities, self-worth, reconnecting with who they are. The impact of working on your style and your image ripple out into every aspect of your life and it’s such an honor for me to witness. One of those clients has agreed to join me on the show today. Angela has been a member of the Winter Collective this season so I’ve had the pleasure of working with her since January and WOW — her results have blown even me away! Angie has followed every step of the program, reached out when she’s needed some extra hand-holding and encouragement, and the effort she’s put in is evident in her success. I cannot wait for you to hear her share candidly about her experience inside HER Style Collective. So if this is a step you’ve been considering or if you just love hearing empowering stories of women like you who are rewriting their next chapter by pouring into themselves and up-leveling their self-image and style, then please join me in welcoming Angie to HER Style Podcast.

Surprise! It’s Q&A FRIDAY this week, because friend, it’s been a doozy. I’m normally a half glass full kinda gal but this has been a “when it rains it pours” kind of week around here. So here’s hoping that this episode is arriving in your ears better late than never. And I do think it’ll be worth the wait. It’s been a while since we’ve covered the topic of closet organization. And as the days are getting longer, I’m definitely feeling more motivated to do a bit of spring cleaning! If it’s on your to-do list to clean out and reorganize your closet, then I know you’re going to LOVE this conversation. I’m about to reveal exactly how I organize my own wardrobe — and keep it that way! I think you’ll be surprised by some of what I’m going to share with you.

There’s been a running theme inside the winter round of HER Style Collective. Quite a few of the women I’ve had the pleasure of coaching inside this 90-day group program came in feeling extremely dissatisfied with what’s in their closets. One of them made a remark that “It would be easier to burn it all down at this point”. I wonder if you’re feeling the same way? Friend, believe me. I know that pain. I think this can be especially difficult once you start doing the work to dial-in your signature style, learn what flatters your figure, and discover your best colors. There can end up being a pretty big divide between the beautiful vision you have for what you want your wardrobe to be and the, oftentimes, disappointing reality of where it is right now. But listen closely. You do NOT have to burn it all down! There is hope for your closet, I promise you. And in today’s episode, I’m walking you through 3 steps to salvage your wardrobe. Let’s strategize about how to show up and feel your best in what you have and set realistic goals to get your wardrobe where you want it to be. There IS a way! And in this episode, I’ll tell you what to do —and what NOT to do— as you face tough obstacles on your style journey. Let’s go, friend!

I often end up being the dressiest person in the room. It’s not because I’m so fancy…Okay, it might be that a little bit. But it’s really because I LOVE wearing dresses and skirts. I’m much more comfortable in a dress, especially in the spring and summer when I don’t want to put on shorts. I think there’s almost nothing worse than your legs melting into a hot metal chair and getting stuck. No, thank you. I’ll take a light, airy skirt any day of the week, especially in summer. It also suits my feminine style. But even if your tastes differ from mine, there are ways to make dresses and skirts work for your personal style and your body type. So today, we’re addressing a question that came in from our friend, Leah. She wants to know more about styling dresses and skirts and you know I’m always happy to oblige. So grab a paper and pen, because we’re diving deep today into fits, cuts, fabrics, and taking your dresses and skirts from day to night. I want to help you wear them with total confidence.

Hey there! We are going back to the basics today, my friend! I want to revisit the topic of defining your signature style. This is the most critical first step in building a wardrobe you love. It’s also an aspect of getting dressed that I see a lot of women struggling with. Rather than taking the time to self-reflect and figure out how we want our wardrobes to look and feel, it seems easier to copy everyone else’s style. Or you might love so many different types of outfits and brands that you can’t imagine narrowing your look down to one signature style. You don’t want to feel limited, but right now your look is a little all over the place, you’re chasing trends, and trying to keep up with what you’re seeing on social media, and the whole thing feels super overwhelming! But guess what? It doesn’t have to be. I have a simple, 4-Part Signature Style Framework that you can walk through when you take my FREE 5-Minute Personal Style Quiz. In today’s episode, I’m going to help you see why your style is so important, review a couple of caveats you need to know before you take my quiz, and exactly how to combine your top 3 style type results to create a signature blend that captures you, your personality, and your preferences so completely it makes shopping and getting dressed easier than ever.

I’m going to venture to guess that there are some fashion risks you are not willing to take. Maybe it’s an outdated faux pas like wearing white after Labor Day. (We already addressed my thoughts on this in episode #101, by the way.)

I’ve been chomping at the bit to answer today’s Q&A Thursday question since it came in. It is SO, so good! Our friend, Therese, reached out to ask about the difference between having a signature silhouette (or style) and simply dressing the same all the time. And I think this is the most brilliant question. What IS the difference? How can you strike that delicate balance between having a dialed-in look and letting your look become played out? How do you stick to your style but still keep your wardrobe feeling fresh season after season? See? I told you! It’s so good! And in today’s episode, we’re going to sort it all out. So let’s jump right in and explore the difference so we can make sure your signature style feels more right than rut.

Alright, are you ready for this? Today’s episode is going to be one of those rare gems where I don’t discuss trends or give you any tactical style tips. I’m not sharing my color expertise or helping you build a better wardrobe today. The conversation we’re about to have digs a bit deeper and feels necessary to make space for on HER Style Podcast from time to time. You might know that I’m on a mission to help you feel more confident in your clothes. My goal is to empower you with all the style advice I have to share so you can show up in every area of your life with more fullness, ease, and joy! I love supporting you with that on the outside. When you’re wearing your best colors and most flattering silhouettes, when you’re crystal clear on your signature style, and you have the perfect outfit for every occasion, it feels SO good. But even after we do all the work to boost our confidence on the outside, there can still be a whole lot of mean girl mind drama still happening on the inside. If you struggle with negative self-talk, body image issues, and being your own worst critic, then we have some more work to do, my friend. I want you to look your best on the outside and feel your best on the inside. So today, we’re diving deeper and I’m sharing one simple mindset shift that could change everything about how you see and talk to yourself. Let’s dive in!
