• The Personal Style Fundamentals You Should Know

  How well do you really know your personal style? I'm talking beyond the surface-level stuff—like whether you gravitate toward black or prefer bright colors. In this episode, we're diving deeper into the often-overlooked foundation of great style: truly understanding yourself. The biggest style breakthroughs don't come from following trends or mastering complicated styling formulas. They come from paying attention to what actually works for you. Today, we're unpacking 10 essential things every woman should know about herself if she wants getting dressed to feel easier, more fun, and authentically hers.I hope this episode helps you shift your perspective on what "knowing your style" really means. This isn't about memorizing fashion rules or completely overhauling your wardrobe. It's about building that fundamental understanding of yourself—what you love wearing, what makes you feel confident, and what actually fits into your real life. When you have these answers, everything else falls into place naturally. In this episode, you'll learn: The power of your "natural uniform"The connection between style vocabulary and shopping successWhy style fundamentals are guides, not gospelThe "wear more of what works" principleHow to think of your style as choices, not commandsFull show notes and resources: https://youreverydaystyle.com/ep-227

• How to Finally Understand Your Body Shape

  If you've ever taken a body shape quiz only to feel more confused than when you started, you're not alone. Despite all the resources out there—quizzes, blog posts, entire businesses built around body types—understanding and dressing your shape remains the #1 challenge I hear from women.Today, I'm breaking down why traditional body shape labels like "apple," "pear," "hourglass," and "rectangle" aren't working for most of us. More importantly, I'm sharing a better way forward that doesn't require you to fit perfectly into a labeled box.In this episode, you'll discover: The six major problems with traditional body shape labelsWhy rectangles are the most underserved body shape, despite making up the largest percentage of womenThe real reason I still use body shape labelsA practical three-element framework for understanding your unique body without any label at allHow to shift from asking "Can I wear that?" to "What will that do for me?" I hope this episode helps you realize that if labels and lists have never made style easier for you, it's not because your body is too unusual or too complicated—it's because the system itself is flawed. You don't need the perfect label to find clothes that make you feel amazing—you just need to understand your unique body and learn what clothes can do. And once you do, that knowledge is yours forever, regardless of how your body, lifestyle, or fashion trends change.Full show notes and resources: https://youreverydaystyle.com/ep-226

• Understanding Proportion in Your Body and Your Outfits

  Let's talk about the topic that makes me geek out more than anything else in the style world: proportion. I know, I know—it doesn't sound exciting. But here's what I've learned after dressing thousands of women: you can have all the right pieces, follow all the rules, and still feel like your outfits don't work. The missing piece? Understanding proportion. This episode is packed with the kind of knowledge that actually makes a difference in how you look and feel in your clothes. We're diving deep into what proportion really means, why most women get it wrong, and how understanding this one concept can transform the way you get dressed every single day. We'll explore the two critical areas where proportion matters—your body and your outfits—and I'll give you homework that will help you start seeing yourself and your wardrobe in a completely different way.What you'll learn:Why style is all about relationships, not rules.The difference between short-waisted and short-torso (and why it matters).How to use the golden ratio to create outfits that look polished instead of frumpy.The volume distribution mistake that's making you look sloppy.Why you can't always balance everything perfectly (and what to do about it).I hope this episode helps you stop thinking about style as a collection of unrelated pieces and measurements, and start seeing the whole picture instead. Once you understand how the parts relate to each other, you can manipulate those relationships to create balance—and that's where the real magic happens. If you struggle with feeling like your outfits don't quite come together, this might actually be the one thing that changes everything.Full show notes and resources: https://youreverydaystyle.com/ep-225

• Beyond Undertones: Color Theory Made Simple

  Have you ever wondered why some color combinations look effortlessly chic while others feel like a fashion miss? It all comes down to understanding how color actually works. In this episode, I'm breaking down the three fundamental elements that affect both how colors look on you and how they work together in your outfits. This isn't about handing you a color card and calling it a day—it's about giving you the knowledge to make confident color choices for life.In this episode, you'll learn:The three elements that every color hasThe biggest mistake women make with colorFour color pairing formulas that take the guesswork out of combining colorsHow to match your outfit's contrast level to your natural coloringThe secret to mixing warm and cool colors successfullyI hope this episode helps you see color as a tool you can play with confidently, rather than something that feels confusing or risky. When you understand that every color is made up of temperature, value, and saturation—and that all three matter—suddenly the whole world of color opens up. Your homework is simple: start noticing these elements everywhere, from what you see on TV to what's in store windows. The more you practice identifying them without the pressure of getting dressed, the easier it'll be to use color with confidence in your everyday outfits.Full show notes and resources: https://youreverydaystyle.com/ep-224
