Hooray! Hooray! It’s Q&A day! I am a little bummed out that it’s already August, but at least that means it’s time for another round-up of amazing style questions straight from our community.

In this episode of HER Style Podcast, I’m offering up my advice on several listener-submitted questions, including how to build a transitional wardrobe for pregnancy and postpartum, how to stick to your best colors and personal style preferences even while working out or lounging at home, and how to dress down without losing your classic, elegant, or feminine edge. We’ll also explore strategic ways to shift your wardrobe when you’ve shifted where you live.

Let’s get into it, friend! We have a lot to cover.

Ever wish you could be a fly on the wall during a real style coaching session?

In today’s episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my group coaching program, HER Style Collective, so you can hear the exact advice I shared with a handful of our members recently—including how to match your feminine or elegant aesthetic with more casual summer pieces, how to stop overthinking your style mood board, and how to transition a “beachy” color palette into something you can wear year-round. We even took a deep-dive into belts and dissected how to find the right one to complement your figure, your personal style, and your features.

If you’re curious how personalized style coaching really works or if you’re looking for some quick advice to incorporate into your own wardrobe, this episode is for you. Let’s take a peek inside HER Style Collective together…and if you want to join us for the next live coaching session, which happens each and every Thursday, head to herstylellc.com/collective right now to get started.
