Hills I will die on as a personal stylist: these 3 pieces belong in every woman’s closet 👇

And I’m not talking about trendy pieces or investment splurges. I’m talking about the kind of foundational pieces that make everything else in your closet work better. Click the link to see exactly what they are — but here’s why they matter:

✨A great pair of jeans. Not just any jeans — the right pair for your body. When your denim fits well everything you put with it looks better. It’s the foundation of half your wardrobe.

✨A classic denim jacket. The layering piece that goes over everything, works in every season, and never goes out of style. If you don’t have a great one you’re missing a key piece of your wardrobe puzzle.

✨A slim elevated sneaker. The shoe that bridges the gap between casual and polished — dressy enough for a put together look, comfortable enough for a full day. The right sneaker changes everything.

All three are linked below — go see which exact pieces made the list! 👇

Yep. I said cheaper. 👀

Because the number on the price tag doesn’t tell you what something will actually cost you.

Let’s say you buy a $300 jacket and wear it 100 times.

$3 per wear.

Now take that $40 top you bought because it was “such a good deal”—but you only wore it once before deciding you didn’t really love the fit.

$40 per wear.

Suddenly that $300 jacket doesn’t sound quite so expensive, does it?

This is cost per wear, and it’s one of my favorite ways to think about whether something is actually worth buying.

Before I invest in a piece, I want to know:
→ Will I wear it regularly?
→ Can I style it multiple ways?
→ Does it work with pieces I already own?
→ Is the quality good enough to hold up?
→ Will I still want to wear it a year from now?

Because as a personal stylist, I don’t think the goal is to spend MORE on clothes.

The goal is to spend BETTER.

We did a full deep dive on cost per wear—including how to calculate it and how we use it to make smarter shopping decisions—on the Effortless Style blog.

Comment COST below and I’ll send you the link to read it.
And save this for the next time you’re debating whether something is really worth the price tag. 🤍

A day in the life of a personal stylist 🧘‍♀️☕ Pilates, eggs and avocado, Starbucks, and then straight to a client's closet with Dana.

Our client wasn't even home — her husband let us in and we got to work. That's just how it goes sometimes. 😄

Dana and I have started tag-teaming styling sessions together, and honestly it's a game changer. Two stylists in a closet means more creativity, better problem solving, and we just flat out get more done. By the time we left, we'd pulled 45 complete outfits using pieces she already owned — mixed and matched with shoes and accessories for fall and early winter.

And then I went home and uploaded every single look to her online closet so she can see exactly what to wear and how to wear it, right from her phone.

This is what a styling session actually looks like. 🤍

Packing for three days without packing for three weeks. 😉✈️ #ad

As a personal stylist, I’m always thinking about versatility when I pack—fewer pieces, more outfit combinations, and everything needs to earn its spot in my suitcase.

For this trip, I’m packing it all in my @BAGSMART_official Getaway Carry-On with the Moss Tote for everything I want to keep within easy reach while I’m traveling. The goal: plenty of outfit options without the overpacking. 🙌🏻

Getting dressed used to feel easy. You knew what worked. You felt like yourself in your clothes.

But somewhere along the way, that changed.

Maybe your body changed. Your lifestyle changed. Your priorities changed. Or maybe you’ve spent so long dressing for your job, your age, trends or everyone else’s expectations that you’ve lost sight of what you actually like.

We see this with clients all the time.

If your closet doesn’t feel like you anymore, here’s where we’d start:

1. Identify what still feels like you.
Pull out 3–5 pieces you genuinely love wearing. What do they have in common? Think color, silhouette, fit, fabric and overall vibe.

2. Pay attention to what doesn’t.
Notice the pieces you consistently skip over—and ask yourself why. Too fussy? Too conservative? Too trendy? Just not your personality?

3. Dress for your actual life.
Your wardrobe should support how you spend your time now, not the lifestyle you used to have—or the one you think you’re supposed to have.

4. Give yourself permission to evolve.
You don’t have to dress the way you did at 30, 35 or even five years ago. Keep what still feels right and let yourself move on from what doesn’t.

Your style should be a reflection of who you are now—not who you think you need to be.

And sometimes rediscovering your style isn’t about buying anything new. It starts with getting curious about what makes you feel most like yourself. 🤍

Save this and come back to these four questions the next time your closet stops feeling like you.

You don’t need to know every trend to have great style.

In fact, trying to keep up with all of them can make your wardrobe feel more disconnected from you.

1. Trends don’t automatically work with your proportions or lifestyle.
Something can look amazing on someone else and still not make sense for your wardrobe.

2. Constantly buying trends creates a closet full of disconnected pieces.
If every new item requires completely different shoes, pants, or accessories, you’re not building a wardrobe—you’re collecting outfits.

Instead, choose 1–2 trends each season that genuinely appeal to you and ask:
→ Can I style this with what I already own?
→ Does it work for my lifestyle?
→ Does it feel like me?

That’s how you make your wardrobe feel current without starting over every season.

#PersonalStylist #StyleOver40 #FashionOver40 #WardrobeTips #EffortlessStyle

Here’s a simple rule I use with clients: shop for your real calendar first.

Before buying something, ask:

• Where will I realistically wear this?
• Can I think of at least 3 occasions for it?
• Do I already own shoes and accessories that work with it?
• Does it fit the way I live right now?

If you can’t answer those questions, put it back.

A beautiful piece that only works for a hypothetical life isn’t filling a wardrobe gap—it’s creating closet clutter.

Save this for the next time you’re tempted to shop for your fantasy life instead of your real one. 🤍

#LTKootd #LTKmomlife #LTKOver40

Influencers won’t talk about this because their job is to get you to buy what they’re sharing—whether it works for your body or not.

But here’s the truth: not everything works for every body. Not every style is flattering on everyone. And that oversized trend or low-rise jean they’re pushing? It might look amazing on them and completely wrong on you—and that’s not a YOU problem.

What makes something “”flattering”” isn’t trend-based—it’s about proportion, balance, and fit FOR YOUR SPECIFIC BODY. A-line skirts work magic on some women and do nothing for others. Wide-leg pants can elongate one person and overwhelm another. Cropped jackets hit at the perfect spot on some and cut others in half.

We don’t push trends. We teach you how to identify what actually works with your proportions, height, and natural shape—so you stop wasting money on pieces that look great on the hanger but terrible on you.

The goal isn’t to look like the influencer. It’s to look like the best, most confident version of YOU. 🎯

A day in the life of a personal stylist 🥐☕ — except this one came with my favorite little helper.

Ryan tagged along for one of her last days before school started, and I honestly couldn't think of a better way to spend it. Chocolate croissants at a little French café in the Gulch, a run to Green Hills for returns and some sourcing, and then I fully put her to work. 😂 Dana and I have a big project coming up and 20+ packages weren't going to unbox themselves.

She hung every single piece without complaining. Honestly? Hire her.

Some days this job is client appointments and dressing rooms. Some days it's this. I love both. 🤍

POV: You’ve been inside enough closets to know that it usually takes about 30 seconds to see what’s making getting dressed so hard. 😂

It’s rarely that she needs more clothes.

It’s the pieces that almost work. The proportions that feel just a little off. The things she bought because she loved them—but never figured out how to wear. And a closet full of perfectly good pieces that don’t actually work together.

We see some version of this in closets all. the. time.

And the best part of our job? Watching the moment it all starts to click—and suddenly she can see outfits where she used to see overwhelm. 🤍

OOTD ✨ Oversized white button down + denim bermuda shorts + black thong kitten heel sandals. All from my own closet — linked the closest versions I could find. Everything shoppable below! 👇

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKootd #LTKOver40

We see this every single day with our clients. Your body changed—whether it’s 10 pounds, hormones, aging, life—and suddenly your closet doesn’t feel like home anymore.

Nothing fits the way it used to. The jeans don’t sit right. You feel frumpy in clothes you once loved. Getting dressed stops being fun and starts being frustrating.

And here’s what we know as personal stylists who are also women over 40: you don’t have to keep dressing the body you used to have.

If your closet feels disconnected from the body you have today, here’s where we’d start:

1. Stop using fit as a judgment.
If something no longer fits comfortably, that’s information—not a reason to be hard on yourself.

2. Edit what isn’t serving you now.
Move out the pieces that don’t fit, don’t flatter or consistently make you feel bad when you put them on.

3. Pay attention to what DOES feel good.
Notice the silhouettes, rises, lengths and proportions you reach for now—not the ones you loved five or ten years ago.

4. Identify the actual gaps.
Before you start shopping, figure out what’s missing from the wardrobe you need for your life today.

5. Rebuild intentionally.
You don’t need an entirely new closet overnight. Start with a few pieces that fit beautifully, work together and make getting dressed easier.

Your closet should celebrate who you are in this season of your life—not constantly remind you of who you used to be.

We help our clients through this process all the time, and one of our favorite things to hear afterward is: “I forgot what it felt like to love getting dressed.”

You deserve that feeling back. ✨

Save this for the next time your closet feels like it belongs to a past version of you—and follow for more practical styling advice that meets you where you are.

A day in the life of a personal stylist 🎬✨ — and this one was a little different.

Dana and I spent the day at Seventh Story Studios styling 24 women for a photo shoot. We pulled up with our cars completely loaded, got handed the keys to an entire wardrobe trailer — a first for us — and got straight to work. Unloading garment bags, steaming every piece, organizing every shoe, belt, scarf and accessory so that when the women started arriving, we were ready.

And then it was go time.

One by one, we worked with each of them — pulling looks, making adjustments, and doing our best to make every single one of them feel really seen and really special.

By the time we loaded everything back up, we were exhausted. But our hearts were so full.

So naturally, Dana and I headed straight to North Italia for a glass of wine and some appetizers. Because some days deserve a proper toast. 🥂

Consider this your official permission slip. 😂

If the outfit looked good, felt good AND made you feel like yourself…

WEAR. IT. AGAIN.

No one is keeping track. And even if they are? Who cares?

Somewhere along the way, social media convinced us that being stylish means constantly coming up with something new.

As personal stylists, we wholeheartedly disagree.

The goal isn’t to never repeat an outfit.

The goal is to have outfits you love enough to WANT to repeat.

So wear the jeans. Wear the blazer. Repeat the entire damn outfit if it was that good. 😂

One of the easiest ways to make getting dressed easier? Start building a mental (or literal) library of the outfits you already know work. And maybe take a picture this time so you remember it the next time you’re standing in your closet saying you have nothing to wear. 🤍

Here’s something we see all the time as personal stylists: “I have nothing to wear” usually isn’t a clothing quantity problem.

In fact, some of the fullest closets we walk into are the hardest ones to get dressed from.

The problem is usually that there are plenty of individual pieces—but not enough pieces that actually work together. Too many impulse purchases. Too many “almost right” pieces. Too many things bought without considering what was already in the closet.

So when getting dressed feels hard, our first instinct is not to tell a client she needs more clothes.

We figure out what’s keeping the wardrobe from working.

Because a closet with fewer pieces that fit well, work together and support your actual life will serve you infinitely better than a closet packed with things you bought because you liked them individually.

The goal isn’t more clothes. It’s a wardrobe that works.

And there’s a very big difference. 🤍

Five shoes I'm removing from my closet because they're not serving me — and a reality check if you're keeping yours for "some day." 👟

Day 1 of my Closet Reset Series and we're starting with shoes. Two pairs of boots, two pairs of sandals, and a pair of fall mules — all gone. Some of these I stopped wearing because they're just not my style anymore. Some I never really wore to begin with. And honestly? Keeping things out of guilt or "just in case" is one of the biggest things cluttering up your closet and making getting dressed harder than it needs to be.

If you've been holding onto shoes that don't fit your life right now, this one's for you. Comment RESET below to schedule a closet audit consultation with our team. 👇

Most women don’t call me because they need more clothes.

They call me because they’ve reached the point where more clothes aren’t helping anymore.

Their closet is full. They’ve shopped. They’ve tried adding the new jeans, the cute top, the jacket everyone says they need…

And somehow, they’re still standing there in the morning thinking, “I have nothing to wear.”

After years of working with women in their closets, I can tell you: the problem usually isn’t that you don’t have enough.

It’s that you don’t know what works together. You’re missing a few key pieces. Your wardrobe no longer matches your current lifestyle. Or you simply haven’t been shown how to create outfits from what you already own.

That’s the work we do.

We edit. We create outfits. We identify the real gaps. And then we shop—with a plan.

Because the goal was never a closet full of clothes.

It’s a closet that makes getting dressed easier. 🤍

Save this for the next time you’re tempted to shop because you “have nothing to wear.”

✨ 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? 👇
