There’s an insane hack I use to make shopping easier and more intentional: create a “shopping list” for your wardrobe.📝

Before I hit the stores (or shop online), I take a moment to reflect on what I truly need, whether it’s a missing staple or a versatile piece that will work with what I already own.

This one simple step keeps me focused, prevents impulse buys, and ensures I’m only adding pieces that fill gaps in my wardrobe.

👋 Friendly PSA from your personal stylist: If you’re tired of staring at a closet full of clothes and still feeling like you have nothing to wear, it’s probably because your wardrobe doesn’t have a plan behind it.

Here’s what we do differently with our clients:
✔️ Start with their lifestyle + needs
✔️ Build a list of intentional pieces
✔️ Style what they already own into new outfits
✔️ Shop strategically to fill gaps

The result? A closet full of effortless outfits instead of “clothing chaos.” ✨

Your style doesn’t need more stuff—it needs more strategy. 💡

Leopard print denim is a bold choice, so I styled it with a neutral oversized sweater and sneakers to keep the look balanced. A pop of color with the red crossbody adds interest without overwhelming the print. When working with statement pieces, grounding them in neutrals and then layering in one standout accessory is an easy way to keep the outfit chic and wearable.

✨ Ever put on an outfit and feel like something is off? The secret is The Rule of Thirds!

Instead of splitting your outfit in half (which can make you look boxy or unbalanced), try dividing it into ⅓ + ⅔ proportions. This creates a more flattering, effortless look.

👖 Example: High-waisted jeans + a tucked-in sweater = ✔️

🚫 Low-rise jeans + a long untucked top = ❌

Try it out and see the difference! Would you wear this? 👇

Black and gold accessories are the perfect match for this cute mini wool dress from Tuckernuck. Drape a black cardigan or cropped leather jacket over your shoulders if you need a little extra warmth.

“Are you really going to wear sneakers with a dress?”

They say it like it’s a bad thing 😏

Here’s the thing: style doesn’t have to follow old rules. It’s about wearing what feels good, what fits your life, and what makes you feel like you.

Sometimes that means pairing sneakers with a dress — and owning it.

Need help figuring out what that looks like for you? Our personal styling services are built for busy women who are ready to dress with confidence and ease. Let’s get started.

I love the idea of pairing and animal print with an unexpected color like these chartreuse pants. It adds a pop of color while still allowing the print to act as a neutral. Keep your accessories simple and allow the clothes to speak for themselves.

Why wait until you’re standing in front of your closet frustrated, late, and on your third outfit change before asking for help?

Working with a stylist isn’t just a “last resort” — it’s the smartest way to avoid those nothing-to-wear mornings in the first place. We help you:

✔️ Identify what’s working in your wardrobe (and what’s not)
✔️ Fill the gaps with pieces that make outfits come together effortlessly
✔️ Create a style strategy so getting dressed feels easy every single day

If your closet is stressing you out more than it’s inspiring you, it’s time to change that. ✨

📅 Book a closet edit or styling session through the link in bio — your future self will thank you.

It’s the quiet kind of frustration. You’re standing in front of a full closet. You’re busy. You want to feel like you.

But instead? You settle for something that feels just… okay.

We’ve been there. So have our clients. And here’s what I want you to know:

✨ You don’t need to change your body.
✨ You don’t need a whole new wardrobe.
✨ You need a fresh perspective—and a system that works for your life.

📩 DM “CONFIDENCE” if you're ready to stop settling and start showing up as your best self—every single day.

You don’t need sky-high heels to elongate your legs — you just need smart styling.

Here are 3 stylist-approved tricks that work every time:

1️⃣ Go high-rise. High-waisted pants or skirts visually lengthen your frame instantly.

2️⃣ Monochrome magic. Wearing one color from top to bottom keeps the eye moving, creating a seamless line.

3️⃣ Pointed toes or nude tones. Both give the illusion of extra inches without sacrificing comfort.

Longer-looking legs, no heels required. 😉

This… and no shopping without a plan.✨

It’s not about having more clothes—it’s about having the right clothes.

Whether we're pulling looks for a client or refreshing my own wardrobe, my goal is always the same:

✔ Clothes that fit your lifestyle
✔ Outfits you actually want to wear
✔ Confidence every time you get dressed

If you’re ready to make that your reality, let’s talk.

“Are you really going to wear jeans again today?”

They say it like it’s a bad thing 😏

When you know what fits, flatters, and feels like you… why wouldn’t you?

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start getting dressed with confidence, our personal styling services were made for you.✨

“Oh you still tuck your shirt in?”

Yes. Because it adds shape, balance, and polish—with zero effort.

It’s one of the easiest ways to define your waist and elevate a basic outfit (especially for jeans-and-tee kind of days).

You don’t need to change your whole wardrobe—you just need a few simple styling moves that work for you.

I’m Katie—personal stylist, founder of Effortless Style, and a big believer that confidence starts in your closet.

I work with women who are:
👠 In a new season of life
👚 Tired of feeling stuck in their style
🗓 Too busy to figure it out alone

What I wish more women knew?

You don’t need a whole new wardrobe to feel pulled together.

You just need a system—and someone in your corner.

✨ Let’s make getting dressed feel easy again.

📩 DM “STYLE” if you're ready for that kind of confidence.

Shopping for jeans can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack 🧵—but it doesn’t have to! Here are the 3 things I always tell my clients before they start their search:

1️⃣ Know your rise: High-rise? Mid-rise? Find the one that flatters your proportions.

2️⃣ Focus on the fit at the waist and hips: A tailor can handle the rest, but these areas need to feel comfortable and supportive.

3️⃣ Check the stretch: A good denim blend should have enough stretch to move with you but enough structure to hold its shape.

Once you follow these, you’ll be well on your way to finding jeans that feel like they were made just for you! 💙

This happens way more than you think.

Busy women (and men), full closets, nothing to wear—and no time to figure it out.

That’s where our Closet Audit comes in:

When packing, most people grab their favorite outfits and shove them in a suitcase.

That mistake costs you space, extra luggage fees, and outfit stress on the trip.

The fix?

Build a mini capsule with a set color palette so every piece mixes and matches. That’s how you travel light and stylish. 🧳✨

#TravelInStyle #ClosetConfidence #PersonalStylistTips #EffortlessStyle #personalstylist #effortlesstyle

“The mistake?

Shopping without a plan.

Buying one-off pieces that don’t pair with what’s already in your closet ends up wasting money and leaving you with nothing to wear.

We always make sure clients add pieces that can be styled at least 3 different ways. That’s how you build a wardrobe that works. 🛍️

#ClosetConfidence #PersonalStylistTips #EffortlessStyle #personalstylist #effortlesstyle

The biggest closet mistake I see?

Holding onto pieces you might wear ‘one day.’

Not only does it take up valuable space, it makes getting dressed harder because you’re sifting through clothes that don’t serve you. When we let those go, outfits become effortless and what’s left actually works for your lifestyle. 🖤

If you’re shopping for fall sweaters under $100, this curated list from our Effortless Style team proves that cozy and chic don’t have to come with a high price tag.

Most people shop by asking do I like this?

That’s all wrong. I always ask can this be styled at least 3 ways with what’s already in the closet?

That’s the difference between wasted money and a wardrobe that works. 🛍️

10 days. One carry-on. Sounds impossible, right?

My go-to trick: pick versatile pieces you can style 2–3 different ways. A dress that works with sneakers and heels, a jacket that layers over everything… it’s the secret to traveling light and stylish.

Life is busy enough — your outfit shouldn’t add to the chaos.

One thing I swear by? Create a few ‘formula outfits’ (like blazer + tee + jeans or dress + sneakers) and rotate them. It’s the secret to looking pulled together without even thinking about it.
