If you struggle to style your clothes every day, you need to try the 333 method.

All you do is pick out 3 bottoms, 3 tops, and 3 pairs of shoes from your closet. Then mix and match them into as many outfits as possible.

Doing this trains your brain to see new combinations in what you already own. Because 9 times out 10, the reason getting dressed feels hard isn’t because you don’t have enough clothes—it’s because you haven’t practiced styling them.

❄️🧣 WINTER 2024 FASHION TRENDS 🧦☃️

I love refreshing my wardrobe each season with a few trendy pieces to keep things feeling fresh—and this winter is no exception!

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal #LTKFindsUnder100

You guys know I always preach shopping with a list, and I’m sticking to that advice this Black Friday. 🖤 It’s so easy to get swept up in all the deals, but the real wins are the pieces that make the biggest impact on your wardrobe.

I’ve rounded up my everyday items. These are the pieces I truly can’t live without, and right now is the perfect time to snag them while they’re on sale.

DECEMBER TRAVEL CAPSULE WARDROBE ❄️🧳✈️

All of these outfits were pulled straight from the Outfit Formulas app using the 5-4-3-2-1 travel packing method—so you can pack less, look amazing, and actually use everything you bring.

#LTKHoliday #LTKOver40 #LTKStyleTip

As a personal stylist, these are the pieces I truly believe are worth investing in this Black Friday.

ANKLE BOOTS VS. KNEE-HIGH BOOTS 👢

Here’s a simple rule of thumb: ankle boots pair best with cropped or full-length pants, while knee-high boots pair best with dresses, skirts, and tucked-in jeans. Of course, there are always exceptions—but these guidelines will keep you effortlessly put-together every time.

If you’re new here, welcome — I’m so glad you’re here. And if you’ve been here a while, thank you for being part of this journey. I hope you leave feeling inspired to make style simple and fun again. 💕

ILYSM.

I wish someone had shared these lessons with me 30 years ago!

But if you’re just starting to figure out your style and how to build a wardrobe that actually works for you, that’s completely okay. You’re never too old, and it’s never too late to start.

Over the years, I’ve learned what really makes a wardrobe functional, and I’ve put all of those lessons into the Outfit Formulas® app. It’s designed to help you sort through the clutter, figure out the essentials, and make the most of the pieces you already own.

The whole point is to take the stress and guesswork out of getting dressed so you can feel confident, comfortable, and like yourself every single day.

You can check it out through the 🔗 in my bio!

NOVEMBER TRAVEL CAPSULE WARDROBE ☕️🧳✈️

I pulled all of these outfits straight from the Outfit Formulas app—comment “TRIAL” to see all of the looks planned for November.

📲 Comment “LINKS” and I’ll DM you direct links to every piece in this capsule. 🫶

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40 #LTKTravel

If you spend more time than you’d like staring at your closet every morning trying to decide what to wear, this is for you. I’ve taken everything I share here—capsule wardrobes, seasonal trends, and everyday styling—and turned it into a simple system inside an app called Outfit Formulas.

#LTKMidsize #LTKOver40 #LTKStyleTip

These are the pieces I’d invest in if I were starting my wardrobe from scratch.

That said, I don’t recommend tossing everything in your closet unless you’re absolutely sure you don’t love any of it. Instead, let’s build on what you already have.

Start with an intentional closet clean-out. Take a look at each piece and ask yourself:
1️⃣ Would I buy this again?
2️⃣ Have I worn it in the last year?
3️⃣ Do I feel confident wearing it?
4️⃣ Can I style it multiple ways with what’s already in my closet?
5️⃣ Does it still fit well?
6️⃣ Is it still in good condition?

This process will help you declutter your closet and give you a clearer understanding of the wardrobe you actually want.

Once your closet is in order, you’ll be able to identify which staple pieces are missing and start filling in the gaps.

These are the staples I use regularly and recommend to every woman looking to simplify her wardrobe.

#LTKOver40 #LTKMidsize #LTKStyleTip

If you feel stuck with your style right now, try the 333 method. It’s a simple way to get creative and see your clothes in a new light. You’ll end up with plenty of new outfit combinations and a better appreciation for what you already own.

If that feels too time-consuming right now, that’s okay. That’s why I created the Outfit Formulas app. Each month, it gives you new outfit combinations and tells you exactly which pieces from your closet to wear each day.

Even though we’re heading into the winter months, I know not everyone lives in a cooler climate (or maybe you just run warm!). If layering isn’t realistic where you are but you still want to look pulled together, here are some easy swaps to try instead:

✨ Add a belt
✨ Add a piece of statement jewelry
✨ Add a hat
✨ Add a hair accessory
✨ Add a scarf or charm to your bag

These simple touches create the same visual interest as layers—without the extra warmth.

Style feels like it should be common sense—but let’s be real, most of the time it isn’t. Over the years, I’ve learned what actually works when it comes to building a wardrobe, and I’ve turned those lessons into a step-by-step system inside the Outfit Formulas app.

Inside, you’ll find everything you need to create a wardrobe that makes sense for your real life. You’ll clean out the clutter, check off the essentials, and learn how to shop your own closet to re-create daily outfits from monthly outfit plans.

It takes all the guesswork out of getting dressed so you can feel confident in your style every single day.

OCTOBER TRAVEL CAPSULE WARDROBE 🍂🧳✈️

I’ve put together this fall capsule with 5 tops, 4 bottoms, 3 pairs of shoes, 2 layering pieces, and 1 of each extra you’ll realistically only need one of—like pajamas, a dress, or accessories.

The key is choosing versatile, functional pieces that mix and match easily and fit your travel plans. These items should cover 1-2 weeks, depending on your access to laundry.

I’ve styled all of these pieces in the Outfit Formulas app!

#LTKStyleTip #LTKTravel #LTKSeasonal

If getting dressed feels overwhelming most days, you’re not alone. The problem usually isn’t your clothes—it’s how your closet is set up and how you plan your outfits.

That’s where a system like Outfit Formulas can help. It’s all about making your wardrobe work for you, not the other way around. You can see your outfit for the day, get ideas for styling it in different ways, and even adjust it to fit your body shape, color season, or mood.

Over time, you start to notice patterns: which pieces you reach for, how to mix and match, and what items truly spark joy. It makes daily outfit decisions faster and more intuitive—without adding more clothes or stress.

Even small tweaks—like planning a few go-to outfits or cleaning out items you never wear—can completely change how you feel about getting dressed.

Sometimes all it takes is one extra element to elevate your look and make it feel complete.

Even in warmer weather, you can play with accessories instead of layers to add that finishing touch. It’s all about experimenting and finding what makes your outfit feel balanced and polished.

I use this rule in every outfit I create in my styling app, Outfit Formulas, and it’s a game-changer for making simple outfits feel polished and intentional.

These are just a few examples from this month’s outfit plan. To see all of the outfits I styled for September, download the app!
