Today I'm breaking down the simple criteria I use to separate the true wardrobe-building pieces from the impulse-buy traps. And I'm also giving you a quick, 10-second test you can use before you check out… so you'll know exactly what deserves a spot in your cart, and what's only tempting because of a flashy discount.

I promise by the end of this conversation, you'll know how to shop confidently, intentionally, and without any of the second-guessing that usually comes with the biggest sale weekend of the year.

If you've ever found yourself saving endless outfit inspo, following stylish women on Instagram, or trying to recreate looks that seem perfect on everyone else… but somehow never feel quite right on you… this episode is going to land with you in a big way.

More than 28,000 women have discovered their top 3 style types using my free Personal Style Quiz — which is amazing — but that's really only step one. Your style type gives you a starting point… but it's not the whole story. Not even close.

So in this episode, I'm going to break down what actually creates a signature, unmistakably-you style, including...

...the three traits every style leader has in common

...the real reason copying never works (even when you copy someone with "your" style type)

...and the missing piece most women overlook that keeps their style feeling borrowed instead of authentic.


Once you understand what actually creates a signature style — the kind that people recognize, remember, and admire — everything changes. So let's get right into it, friend!

So today we're going to tackle the latter and take the stress out of getting dressed for every holiday gathering on your calendar. You're going to learn the exact strategies I use with my clients to avoid last-minute impulse purchases, stop the "I have nothing to wear" spiral, and put together outfits that feel festive and authentically you — without buying a single thing you're going to regret later.

By the end of this episode, you'll know how to set the tone for each event, choose colors that support your confidence and personal coloring, and build simple, repeatable styling strategies that make holiday dressing feel calm, fun, and completely manageable. Let's dive in.

If your size has been all over the place lately — maybe nothing seems to fit quite right, your jeans feel different from week to week, and getting dressed has turned into this emotional rollercoaster…First, I want you to take a deep breath. You don't need to overhaul your wardrobe every few months or wait until your body "stabilizes" to start feeling good again.

The real reason you're frustrated isn't that your size keeps changing — it's that your closet isn't set up for it. It's not built to support the natural ups and downs that every woman's body goes through.

So today, I want to help you shift the way you think about your clothes, your body, and your confidence—so that no matter what's happening with your shape or the scale, you can still feel pulled together and at peace when you get dressed.

Because the goal isn't to chase a size — it's to build a closet that meets you right where you are and makes you feel amazing every day, no matter what.

Today's episode is a vulnerable one because I'm not talking about something I've always been great at. I'm talking about something that used to have me completely trapped: impulse shopping.

And I don't mean snagging an extra lip gloss on your way to the checkout counter at Sephora. I'm talking about emotional spending — those quick "add to cart" moments that promise to boost your confidence but never quite deliver. The one-off purchases for a party or event that don't go with anything else in your closet. The "almost right" pieces you talk yourself into, only to regret later. The sale finds that seemed too good to pass up but never make it into your regular rotation.

You tell yourself you'll wear them eventually, but deep down, you know you won't. And instead of feeling more confident, you're left with more clutter, more guilt, and that same sinking feeling every time you open your closet.

I know how hard that cycle can feel because I've lived it. And if I can break it, you absolutely can, too.

If you're tired of wasting money on clothes you don't wear, this episode will help you understand what's really going on behind those impulse buys. And by the end of this conversation, you'll know what you need to do to shop with strategy, confidence, and clarity—so you can finally have a well-curated wardrobe that works, open your closet and see only "yes" pieces, and get ready for your day in five minutes flat.

This is the episode I wish I'd heard 20 years ago. But it's never too late to break the cycles that aren't serving you. Let's make today a defining moment in your style journey and start making smart investments to build a wardrobe you love.
