Do as I Say, Not as I Do: The Style Advice I Give, but Don't Follow
Today, I'm pulling back the curtain to share something I've been thinking about a lot lately - which pieces of my own style advice I actually follow, and which ones I don't. As someone who gives a lot of guidance about building a better wardrobe, I think it's important to be transparent about how I apply these principles in my own life. More importantly, I want to share why sometimes breaking the "rules" makes sense, even when the advice itself is solid.Here's what I shared in this episode:Why I don't strictly follow a capsule wardrobe approach, even though I create and sell capsule guides - and how this actually makes me better at developing versatile collections that work for different women's needs and styles.The truth about my "no multiples" rule and when I break it.How I navigate shopping in February and August (months I typically tell others to avoid), and the specific criteria I use to decide if an off-season purchase is worth it.The complex relationship I have with "dressing for your body shape" guidelines, and why following them too strictly can actually hinder your style journey. I hope this episode helps you understand that style advice isn't one-size-fits-all, and that even experts need to adapt guidelines to fit their real lives. The key is to understand the principles behind the advice, and then thoughtfully adapt them to your unique situation, lifestyle, and preferences.What matters most isn't following every guideline perfectly, but creating a wardrobe that helps you live your big, rich, full life with confidence and joy.Full show notes and resources: https://youreverydaystyle.com/style-advice-i-dont-follow

Rethinking Fashion Waste with Amelia Trumble
Have you ever finished a closet cleanout and found yourself staring at a pile of clothes, completely stumped about what to do with them? In this episode, I'm tackling the often-overlooked but critically important question of what happens to our clothes after we're done with them. From well-loved basics to those impulse purchases that never quite worked out, the question of how to responsibly dispose of unwanted clothing is actually a global crisis. To help us understand how we can be more responsible with our wardrobe disposal, I've invited Amelia Trumble, co-founder and CEO of Retold Recycling, to share her expertise on textile recycling and sustainable fashion practices. Here's some of what is covered in this episode: Discover why traditional donation methods aren't always the answer for certain clothing items (like intimates, worn-out basics, and damaged pieces) – and learn about a straightforward solution that can help you responsibly dispose of everything from worn-out underwear to old shapewear. Get the scoop on what really happens to our discarded clothing, including those items you wouldn't typically donate to a thrift store. Learn practical strategies that make responsible fashion choices feel achievable rather than intimidating. Embrace the "progress, not perfection" approach to sustainable fashion – because small steps in the right direction are so much better than doing nothing at all. Hear about the exciting initiatives we're planning in the Style Circle this year, including our popular Closet Clean Out challenge that helps members transform both their wardrobes and mindsets. I hope this episode helps you feel empowered to make sustainable choices with your wardrobe without feeling overwhelmed by perfectionism. Here's to making progress together, one closet cleanout at a time! Full show notes and resources: youreverydaystyle.com/retold-recycling-amelia-trumble
