In this episode, I talk to the woman who inspired this season of recap episodes, Ashley Griffin, about embracing authenticity in her wardrobe, especially in the corporate world, how travel influences her style, why Ayo Edibiri and Rihanna are among her style faves, not paying full price for designer pieces, viewing clothes that don’t “fit” as an opportunity, instead of a challenge, being true to oneself and one’s style as a Black woman, and more.

In this update episode, I chat with Reiko Foster about her evolving style journey! Back in 2020, she described her style as a mix of bohemian, modern vintage, and clean lines. Four years later, Reiko reflects on how her wardrobe and fashion choices have transformed, from purging her professional wear, to embracing new trends. She discusses mixing hard and soft elements in her looks, learning to embrace new combinations, confident self-expression, her go-to stores, being inspired by online influencers, why she believe style is about more than just clothes, and more.
